Many thanks to Joshua Hardwick for this helpful guest post on planning a gap year (Or Gap Yah, sweetie). Josh is a keen traveller based in the UK with a dream to travel the world, and is funnily enough, planning his own Gap Year right now. Currently a University student, Joshua runs the hair loss geeks […]
Travel In Numbers
April 17, 2012 by Leave a Comment
For all those travel geeks out there who love nothing more than geeking out over some travel related statistics, Expedia has produced this cool little banner outlining some random facts about airports, cities and other travel stash. Personally, I get nerd wood over bright colours and cool fonts, so this is right up my travel […]
I Survived My First Ever Bootcamp…And Loved It!
March 27, 2012 by 1 Comment
‘This is bootcamp, not Hollywood!’ This is the phrase that has stayed with me after my first ever bootcamp experience, and while it brings back some great memories now, the moment I first heard it at 5.30am being bellowed from the mouth of an Army dude dressed in camouflage, not so much. This is the kind […]
Photo Of The Week – The South London Tank
March 9, 2012 by 2 Comments
I love the story of this random old Russian tank which sits on a small plot of land in South London. Legend has it that a property developer bought the plot and applied for planning permission to build here, but when it was refused by the local council, he decided to get his own back […]
The Best Cities In The World For Brunch
February 22, 2012 by 6 Comments
Who doesn’t love a good, hearty brunch? It’s not quite lunch, and is usually eaten after a long sleep in, so what’s not to enjoy? I think brunch is pretty much my favourite meal of the day at weekends and when travelling, so I’ve made it a mission to explore some of the best places […]
2012’s Best Travel Destinations
January 31, 2012 by 5 Comments
Travel is a little bit like fashion – some years certain countries are more ‘in vogue’ than others, and others are cast to the side, readily awaiting their rise to the top again in a few years time. I’ve seen a lot of lists the past few weeks for the best travel destinations of the […]
5 Good Reasons To Visit Krakow
January 24, 2012 by 4 Comments
Krakow is one cool city. I never really knew much about it before I visited last year, but now I can’t stop telling everyone I meet about how much I loved it. Not only is it cheap thanks to the Polish Zloty, but there’s so much to see, eat, drink and do that you’ll be […]
Photo Of The Week – Helsingborg Square
December 30, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I love Sweden, especially getting off the well-trodden tourist trail of Stockholm and getting out to see some of the lesser known cities – like Helsingborg. Located in the south of the country, and only a short train ride from Copenhagen, this seaside city is small, quaint and makes you feel like you’ve walked straight […]
How To Travel The World With A Full Time Job
December 13, 2011 by 8 Comments
For the most part, ‘working for the man’ sucks, apart from the regular paycheck of course! I meet and speak to so many people who want to eventually be living the location independent life and be able to travel how they want, when they want, but for the time being they are stuck working 9-5 […]
Photo Of The Week – A Dreamy English Country Lane
November 25, 2011 by 2 Comments
I visited the north of England a couple of weeks ago and I forgot how beautiful the countryside here could be – especially since I’m not often walking along country laneways – it’s more cobbled streets here in London! I loved the dreaminess of this particular day – the way the shadows and sunlight […]
