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”

PACKING TO MOVE ABROAD FOR A YEAR
It’s officially one more sleep until I embark on the adventure of a lifetime: moving to China for 12 months! A whole year. Pretty much the entirety of 2020. Ahhhh! So with a glass of wine in hand, I thought I’d hop on here to give you nosey buggers a peek into my suitcase. AsContinueContinue reading “PACKING TO MOVE ABROAD FOR A YEAR”
2010-2019: TOP TRAVEL MOMENTS OF THE DECADE
As 2019 draws to a close, I thought I’d take a walk down memory lane and write about my favourite travel moments from the past decade. Here’s to the next decade of travel! RESCUING TURTLES IN SRI LANKA September 2015 was the start of my gap year and a really significant and transformative time inContinueContinue reading “2010-2019: TOP TRAVEL MOMENTS OF THE DECADE”
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”
GIFT IDEAS FOR TRAVELLERS
Unsure what to buy friends and family this Christmas? Are some of them not keen on materialistic things, or are they planning to go on a holiday or travel in the near future? With my upcoming move to China (in 5 weeks, ah!) I have asked family and friends not to buy me too manyContinueContinue reading “GIFT IDEAS FOR TRAVELLERS”
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”
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”
