At the end of our gap year adventure around Southeast Asia, we decided to treat ourselves to a bit of R&R in Bali after high-tailing it around Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos for almost 3 months. We spent 10 days in Bali and didn’t manage to squeeze in everything we wanted, so I’m planning toContinueContinue reading “8 THINGS YOU MUST DO IN BALI”

A FEW DAYS IN BONNY SCOTLAND
Whenever I travel far away from home, I always get a little homesick and realise how much beauty is right on my doorstep back in the UK. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE exploring new cultures, hearing a different language as I walk down the street, and tasting food vastly different from anything I couldContinueContinue reading “A FEW DAYS IN BONNY SCOTLAND”
HO CHI MINH CITY TO HANOI BY BUS
One of my favourite countries I’ve ever visited is Vietnam. Ironically, it was the country I was least interested in visiting in Southeast Asia. I had no expectations, and I think that’s why it ended up being so enjoyable and memorable. Kayaking around the islands in Ha Long Bay As I hope to return toContinueContinue reading “HO CHI MINH CITY TO HANOI BY BUS”
FIRST WEEK IN CHINA
Hello from China! I’m coming to the end of my second week here in South China and it has absolutely flown by. My first few days were spent in Guangzhou getting over the jet lag and meeting my fellow new recruits, and getting to know a bit about the company as well as the regionContinueContinue reading “FIRST WEEK IN CHINA”

SCUBA DIVING IN HONDURAS
We’re jumping back a few years again in today’s blog post, and revisiting my first real adventure to Central America. For those who haven’t read my previous posts on the subject, back in 2014 I went on a school trip with Outlook Expeditions to Nicaragua and Honduras for a month. The majority of the tripContinueContinue reading “SCUBA DIVING IN HONDURAS”
LINCOLN CHRISTMAS MARKET
For the first time since being at school, I went to the Christmas market in my hometown of Lincoln last weekend. Once one of the most popular markets in the country, Lincoln market is now smaller than the ones in Manchester or Leeds, but just as good (although I may be biased). The market isContinueContinue reading “LINCOLN CHRISTMAS MARKET”
POLISH FOOD IS AMAZING
My recent trip to Krakow was many things; harrowing, emotional, cultural, bloody cold, and rather unexpectedly, a foodie’s heaven. So, as promised, I’m dedicating a whole separate post to the beauty that is Polish food 😍 I have to admit that I don’t have a huge variety of photographs, because by the time I rememberedContinueContinue reading “POLISH FOOD IS AMAZING”
MICRO GAPS
What is a micro gap? A micro gap is a short break away in the country you live in. Micro gaps are becoming increasingly popular as people are realising what there is to explore right on their doorstep, without having to fly or travel long distance. Why try a micro gap? Micro gaps are greatContinueContinue reading “MICRO GAPS”
AUSCHWITZ
This post has been really difficult to write. Auschwitz was not an enjoyable experience, it was harrowing and humbling and surreal. It was the most grounded I felt in a long time and this is why going to Auschwitz is so important. It is easy to get caught up in our own little bubble andContinueContinue reading “AUSCHWITZ”
