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”

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”
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. As an archaeology student at the time of my visit, I couldn’t wait to see the Forum, Colosseum, Pantheon and countless other Roman ruinsContinueContinue reading “72 HOURS IN… ROME”
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”
I’M MOVING TO CHINA?!
Huge life update: I’m moving to China. If it’s any consolation, I’m as shocked as you are. After a personal crisis and realisation that I need to spend some time on my own self improvement and future goals, I decided to apply for a few jobs abroad. Unfortunately my application to be one of Santa’sContinueContinue reading “I’M MOVING TO CHINA?!”
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”
VOLUNTEERING WITH GREENPEACE AT LEEDS FESTIVAL
Hello! Festival season is coming to an end and while I’ve spent the summer scrolling through Instagram and seeing people partying it up in glitter and wellies at Leeds, Reading, Glastonbury and Burning Man, I thought I’d reflect on my first (and only) festival I attended last year: Leeds Festival! First things first, festivals haveContinueContinue reading “VOLUNTEERING WITH GREENPEACE AT LEEDS FESTIVAL”
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”
