Have you ever said something and then the second the words have left your mouth you want to suck them back in and pretend they never happened? Imagine if you could just breathe them back in with a huge gasp of air. That would be good. That would get me out of a lot of [...]
On Saturday I attended my first blogging conference that wasn’t directly related to travel blogging. I’ve been to my fair share of travel blogging conferences and even worked for TBU but I’ve been eager to start networking with non-travel bloggers for a while now. Cybher is a blogging event in London and, as the name [...]
While I was in Falmouth I found a letterbox in a pub/bookshop called Beerwolf Books (yes, a pub and bookshop in one, how awesome!) This is what it says on top: “Dear Anonymous Reader, I would like to invite you to release any emotions you’ve bottled up. This is an opportunity to confide your thoughts and [...]
It seems that more and more travel bloggers are realizing the potential in blogging and are turning their hobby into a fulltime business. It’s a pretty exciting time to be a blogger, especially as this was an unthinkable career option just a couple of years ago. I’ve had lots of chats recently about how you [...]
I’ve been using Pinterest for about a year now and it was one of those things I instantly fell in love with. I don’t have time (I’m too lazy) to make a real scrap book filled with images so Pinterest is the next best thing. Hands up if you’re one of those people who has [...]

As for most people in the UK, January had a cold and dull start filled with broken promises and Christmas bellies that refused to budge. Thankfully, I had a week in South Africa to break up the January blues and escape the winter chill. It was a trip that took me from Cape Town to [...]
I’m always telling people that I wish I had the time and money to travel more. I moan that I haven’t seen enough of the world and there’s so much I want to see and do. It wasn’t until I started thinking about the highlights from my year that I realised I need to quit [...]
I’ve been away from the blogosphere for a few weeks now. Here’s why… Like all things in life, there are highs and lows, and blogging is no exception. For a few months at a time I’ll be living the dream when it comes to my travel blog. I’ll be filled with passion and inspiration and [...]
