Today is Earth day, so here is a little something I wrote. What I stand for, is what I stand on. There is no Planet B. The earth is healing, humans are retreating and the earth is healing.We have an incredibly long way to go, but the beauty and environment around us, the place that we call home, is healing and restoring itself. Traveling is … Continue reading Earth Day.
As we all have, we are itching to get back on the road and explore new places. I have been looking through all my old photos and found some of my favourite travel pictures that I just wanted to share. From left to right, Greece where I volunteered for two months helping Mummy turtles nest, and baby turtles hatch. This beach clean was the beginning … Continue reading Wanderlust…
This is a scary time right now, I will be honest, I wasn’t worried about Coronavirus at all. I thought it was another case of media trying to sell papers and stories. I figured it was just the flu but a little bit worse. It wasn’t until the past couple of days that I actually started to take it seriously, with all the craziness that … Continue reading Human Acts of Kindness
Imagine, you have just started working for a company, you haven’t even passed probation yet, and they ask you, ‘Hey want to go to India for the wedding of a friend of the companies?!’ Of course I do! Firstly, it has always been a dream of mine to go to India, but secondly, an Indian wedding?! That sounds incredible! We have all seen Bend … Continue reading Arriving in style…
Durmitor National Park is incredibly beautiful. Roads winding in between vast expanses of pine trees, the clouds cascading down and meeting the top of the tree line. Houses that look like they’ve been plucked from the Sound of Music and dropped into the middle of a photoshopped background. I spent two nights staying in a gorgeous little guesthouse with the perfect, little wood fire, … Continue reading Durmitor National Park
Leaving Mostar, I was excited to move on as always, but sad because it’s the only place I have been to so far on this trip that has left me so touched. The culture, history and clear impact the war had on the city, and the absolute determination the locals have to get past, and overcome this disaster was inspiring and really left me feeling … Continue reading There’s snakes in Trebinje?!
Meeting new people everyday is the best part about travelling, people who inspire you, people who frustrate you, people who challenge your ideas and morals and beliefs. People who challenge a stereotype you have created in your mind, people who live up to the stereotype, people who leave you speechless, people who leave you questioning how they have managed to survive alone, half way … Continue reading Sunsets and Strangers
When people ask, ‘Where is your favourite place you have visited?’ I never really know what to say, I think back to every funny story, every interesting anecdote and pick somewhere based on the experience I had there. This was very quickly changed the second I got to Mostar, in Bosnia & Hercegovina. It is not often that I visit a place and … Continue reading Mostar
27 things that happened on my bus through Albania, and I promise this is all true. 1. They label the physical seat, not the space in front where you actually place your body, so I am minding my own business, peacefully sitting in my dedicated seat number 33. To which the bus driver approaches me and tells me that that is seat 35 and now … Continue reading Albania – Bosnia, 27 Reasons to Travel by Bus
Lefkada is an island just north of Kefalonia, and south of Corfu, a friend and I stopped her for a couple days. It has the beautiful, cosmopolitan port of Nydri, with effortlessly blue waters, which contrast entirely against the dense, green, rich vegetation. Surrounding the port are beautiful little bars, restaurants, beach side seating areas, and great, outstanding yachts turned five-star restaurants. My friend and … Continue reading Lefkada
