INNER MONGOLIA Boy, oh boy, where do I even begin with our four-day trip to Inner Mongolia’s Hulun Buir grasslands? I thought I’d start off by posting two personal posts detailing what we got up to, in the style of a Travel Diary, and then I’ll type up an Inner Mongolia Travel Guide. Here goes… […]
Picture Perfect: Inner Mongolia | Travel Diaries
INNER MONGOLIA Inner Mongolia isn’t the very first place you’d think of visiting. I’m still not quite sure how I ended up going for four days this summer, but I understood exactly why as soon as we got there. These pictures will give you a taste of my trip and the posts to come… (and […]
Saving Money to Travel
I am frequently inundated with messages and emails from readers, subscribers, friends and students on how I managed to fund my Gap Year entirely by myself. As this is something I’m incredibly proud of, and something I’ve achieved on my own, I think that I can share with you some travel-saving money tips… 1. ‘Take care […]
Share Your Outdoors | The Aspinall Foundation
Reflecting on the past year or so inevitably brings me to think about the travelling I did during my gap year. Looking back, what I loved most about always being on the road – particularly backpacking up Australia’s East Coast – was that Alice and I were constantly outdoors. And I miss that. Today I thought […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 5
If we were having coffee, the first thing I would tell you is that I hate seeing my last three blog posts being this feature because – to me – it just shows that I haven’t been putting in the effort I want (and should) be doing, sighhhh. But that’s all about to change! I have […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 4
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I have spent waaay too much time on YouTube this week watching TED Talks and random other videos. Watching so many inspired me to finally get down to editing some of my gap year footage {I vlogged my entire time in Australia and Bali}. So I’ve spent […]
Fraser Island Part III | Cool Dingo Tours
If you missed Part I and Part II you can catch them here. Our final day on the island had arrived. After hurriedly rushing down to breakfast and chucking our luggage in the luggage room, we hopped onto the bright pink tour bus and made our way to Lake Birrabeen. Here, I got to try […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 2
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I broke the wifi in my room this week. I was getting so frustrated by how slow everything would load so I tried restarting it and BAM suddenly it refused to work. The lights were on and everything but the router didn’t appear as a […]
Fraser Island Part II | Cool Dingo Tours
We had heard that Fraser Island was prone to rain but we had hoped the sun would stick it out for the remainder of our tour. Unfortunately this was not the case. If you missed Part I you can catch it here. Our second day started bright and early and we were treated to a breakfast […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 1
I’ve heard all about this blog feature and rather liked the idea behind it so I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon. Introducing my new Sunday post… If we were having coffee, I would tell you that, firstly, I’m more of a tea drinker. An Earl Grey tea drinker to be precise. I occasionally have coffee: […]
