72 HOURS IN… KRAKOW

Last week I visited my 23rd country, Poland! Krakow was a fascinating fusion of European architecture and culture and is one of my favourite cities to date. I’m so glad I visited in winter (though sadly missed the Christmas markets by a week), and wish I had a few more days to enjoy the sightsContinueContinue reading “72 HOURS IN… KRAKOW”

A Guide to Essaouira, Morocco

Hello and welcome to my final post from my trip to Morocco! This one is all about the seaside town of Essaouira, a 2.5 hour bus journey from Marrakech. A few other tourists and travellers we met around the country were unsure of whether to visit Essaouira as it seems to be a bit ofContinueContinue reading “A Guide to Essaouira, Morocco”

MINI BREAK IN MARRAKECH

Before my big trip to Morocco in September I was asked by a few people “why Morocco?” and “aren’t you scared?”. Admittedly yes, I was a bit nervous. Africa has a certain stigma attached to it, largely due to the fact that not much is known about its people and culture. Not many women travelContinueContinue reading “MINI BREAK IN MARRAKECH”

72 HOURS IN… ROME

Ciao! I’m back with another 72 hours blog post, one I’ve been itching to write for months now. Rome is without a doubt the most beautiful city I have ever visited.

3 MONTHS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

Angkor Wat, Cambodia When I left school I knew I didn’t want to go straight to university, something just didn’t feel right and I wanted some time to breathe, gain some work experience, and travel. As some of you may already know, I decided to start off my gap year by volunteering abroad with PlanContinueContinue reading “3 MONTHS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA”

A FEW DAYS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

Pont Valentré, Cahors Last week I spent 5 days in the South of France, doing little more than burying my nose in a book and wandering from café to café in beautiful little towns and villages. The trip was fairly last minute; an early birthday present to visit my mum, who has recently retired andContinueContinue reading “A FEW DAYS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE”

A TASTE OF MOROCCO

Hello and welcome to my first blog post revolving around one of my all-time favourite things… FOOD! Usually one of the things which draws me to a country when I plan my travels is the local cuisine. Some of the best meals I’ve had have been in far-off places, such as freshly grilled fish andContinueContinue reading “A TASTE OF MOROCCO”

MOROCCO WITH INTREPID TRAVEL

I’m back from my hiatus while I was travelling around Morocco with the wonderful Intrepid Travel on their 11 day ‘Essential Morocco’ tour! There’s soooo much information I want to spill about this trip, so this might end up being a long blog post (with a few other posts to come about food, what toContinueContinue reading “MOROCCO WITH INTREPID TRAVEL”

EPIC VOLCANO TREK IN NICARAGUA

Volcan Telica One of the BEST things to do when travelling is head off the beaten track and explore the natural environment of the place you’re visiting. This, for me, means lots of hikes and outdoor adventures! My first taste of travel was on my Outlook Expedition trip to Nicaragua and Honduras with school whenContinueContinue reading “EPIC VOLCANO TREK IN NICARAGUA”

72 HOURS IN… BERLIN

The mighty Brandenburg Gate Back with another city break guide in my 72 hours saga!
