2017 in Travel: Where This Year Has Taken Me
Sitting down to write this blog post has made me realise two things. Firstly, this year I have travelled to almost as many countries as I did in 2016 and I wasn’t even in my gap year – how crazy is that?! And secondly, I have been a pretty bad travel blogger. The amount of […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 32
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m back in Oxford and it’s the start of 3rd week already. Where is the time going?! I’m absolutely loving being back and my room this year is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l so I’m trying to make the most of it. There will be a room tour up on YouTube […]
Possibly The Most Instagrammable Place Ever?!
It’s been almost a month since I got back from Central Asia and I’m still amazed at how architecturally beautiful the country I visited is.

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 […]
How To Keep Electronics Safe When Travelling
But how do you travel with so many electronics?! This is a question I am frequently asked, not only by my friends, but also by readers and subscribers alike. As a travel blogger and vlogger, there are some electronics that I just have to have with me. Let’s use my Gap Year as an example in […]
