There’s a fantasy I have, which I think I share with many, that one day I’ll win the lottery and be freed from any obligation to build a stable life for myself. It would be like cutting the string that holds me down, floating up and off to freedom. I am twenty-three years old and back...

You leave to see the world, to move past your comfort zone and away from the familiar. To explore and try new things. To find out something about yourself you never knew before.

coming home
I have been away from home just shy of five months. I’m now due to head back there in just seven days and it is a time of mixed emotions and feelings. My ravenous anticipation to get home to my family and friends is fiercely opposed by my desire to stay. Apart from the obvious things...

Have you ever stood next to a building, or should I say underneath a building, looked up and felt a sense of overwhelming magnitude. Felt a flip in the pit of your stomach just at the sheer enormity, like the kind you get on a roller coaster as it corkscrews its way along the tracks. All...

At the start of our trip we envisaged immersing ourselves fully into the countries we visited. Of meeting the people who lived there and of learning to understand their ways of life on a far deeper level than the generic tourist attractions that are a great allure for many travellers. But I have to say,...

The Gili Islands
In 2012 Passenger sang ‘you only hate the road when your missing home’ and in 2015 I can vouch for him on that one. Travelling around from place to place, as frequently as I have been, can be an exhausting experience. As much as you try to seek out the best each place you visit...
