Croatia has been on my bucket list since season 1 of Game of Thrones. I remember seeing straight past the grime of Dubrovnik as Kings Landing. Instead, my inner traveller was distracting me massively from the story line! My attention was on the narrow winding streets, intense tiled roofs and the crystal clear sea. The […]
This summer I will have a whole 7 days holiday to use up, lucky me! (Does my sarcasm comes across?). So I am in the midst of planning a short, budget backpacking trip to hopefully satisfy my wanderlust. I am a bit of a dab hand when it comes to budget travel these days and […]
New York to Montreal is the perfect trip for first time solo backpackers. In fact it was my first ever solo trip and each city I passed through holds a special place in my heart for that reason! Of course two weeks before I set off my phone decided to break. Apple still hadn’t finished […]
Thinking about going on your first backpacking trip but are not sure where to go? I understand, it is complicated! But let me just say how jealous I am. Your first backpacking trip will stay with you for life and that fresh feeling of exploration and independence is priceless! So don’t feel stressed because exciting […]
Security checks, derelict buildings, wild dogs and remnants of the Soviet Union, Chernobyl is certainly a very unique place. But when I look back to the time I spent there, my first memory isn’t of the eerie abandoned fair ground or the gargantuan metal casing covering reactor 4. Instead it’s of the freezing east wind […]
Bank holidays in Austria mean hiking and when I lived in Salzburg, I was spoilt for choice. But for a weekend my friends and I decided to leave the beauty of Austria and instead, ventured over the German border. They felt like hiking around Königssee and I had never been so was keen to explore. […]

If you are new to travelling solo or new to the concept of Couchsurfing then you may be wondering ‘is Couchsurfing as a solo female traveller safe?’. I certainly wondered this myself before my first time using the site. But being addicted to travel and making friends abroad means Couchsurfing has a certain appeal. It […]
The sun is out, summer is on its way and all I seem to be doing today is reminiscing about my first ever girls weekend in Barcelona. It was summer 2014, I hadn’t started uni and didn’t have a full time job. Travel wasn’t of particular interest to me and I hadn’t ever been away […]
Finding vegan food in London isn’t hard. In fact I haven’t ever lived somewhere where it is this easy to be vegan. But sometimes, too much choice makes life difficult and being indecisive to my core really doesn’t help. So my friend Grace and I took it upon ourselves to do a little research. One […]
Three days in Edinburgh is never going to be enough. But my friend Jess and I made the most of our three days in Edinburgh by filling it with lots of relaxation, a little exploration and a lot of eating! Somewhat stupidly we didn’t realise it was Edinburgh Fringe Festival during this trip so the […]
Here in London we have been experiencing some freakish winter weather… it has actually been warm! And I’m talking a decent 20°C. So like any Brit worth their weight, I took full advantage of the sunshine. My friend Ania, who I met on Erasmus, was visiting so together we spent a day in the Royal […]
