In 2019 I’ve decided to try something new and set myself a monthly challenge for every month of the year. I’m one of those people who wants to do everything and this is my way of doing ALL THE THINGS but focusing on one thing at a time rather than jumping in all guns blazing …
Posts from: December 2018
When I first saw today’s Podmas prompt I thought it wasn’t the most exciting but then I realised I’d never actually told you much about where I live and why. I live on the border of Chester and North Wales and the simple reason I live here is because this is where I was raised. …
This is a tough one. As someone who shares most of their life online I’ve shared a lot about myself over the years, so I’ve been having a think about 4 things you might not know. But more importantly, 4 things you might actually care about. I could tell you that I’m pretty sure I’m …
It’s another day of Vlogmas and I’m going a bit out of order but today’s prompt is: I’m scared to tell you these three things. And just like I do with anything I’m scared about, I’ll jump straight in… (I literally do this. I was once scuba diving at night in Australia and I had …
I wasn’t going to write this post because, like every year I’ve ever written a ‘highlights from my year’ kind of post, I’ve initially thought I didn’t have enough interesting stuff to put in it! It’s funny (and also very telling about where my priorities are right now!) but when I think about my year …
Today’s prompt for Vlogmas is ‘Why I Podcast’, but as I don’t podcast I’m changing it to ‘Why I blog’. Unlike the past few days, I haven’t had any problems thinking of my answer for this prompt. There are lots of reasons why I blog. Where do I even begin!? I’m going to tackle each …
It’s day 5 of Podmas and the prompt for today is: ‘I am ….. because …..’ I listened to Lucy’s answer to this in her podcast and she chose to go for, ‘I am vegan because….’ I found this quite a hard prompt because I don’t feel like I put labels on myself …
It’s just a short blog today because I want to keep up with Podmas but I’m on a press trip in Saudi Arabia and I haven’t had much downtime. I’m looking forward to sharing more from my trip to Saudi Arabia. I’m not being paid to be here and I’m under no obligation to post …
It’s day 3 of Podmas and today’s prompt was: I’ve learned xyz about myself this year You can read day 1 here: The best advice I’ve ever been given And day 2 here: Being honest online Today’s prompt was another difficult one and I really had to sit down and think about it. What have …
It’s day 2 of Podmas and if you missed what this is all about then I suggest you check out yesterday’s post, The best advice I’ve ever been given. But as a quick recap I’ll tell you super quickly. Podmas is really for podcasters and it was started by Lucy Lucraft who runs the podcast …
I’m doing something a little different today. I’m taking part in Podmas! The only problem is that I’m so late to the party it’s actually over and I’m not doing it right at all… What is Podmas? You may have heard me mention Lucy Lucraft’s podcast, What She Said, here before. It’s a podcast …

If you’re looking for some inspiration for your next adventure then you’ve come to the right place because I’ve got 8 unique unique experiences to try in 2019. I’m looking at …
This is a very belated post I’ve had sitting in my drafts since the summer but things have finally quietened down and it’s time to tell you more about The Blogger Course Weekender! If you followed me on Instagram and Twitter in the spring you will have seen me chatting about #TheBloggerCourseWeekender. I’ve had a …
I know it’s winter and finding the best glamping holidays might not be at the top of your to-do list right now but this is the perfect time to get your glamping holidays booked in! In my experience, glamping UK sites book up quickly, especially if you’re trying to book somewhere really unique for a …
Earlier this year I took my second trip to Ghent in Belgium and had an incredible day exploring all the things to do in Ghent. This trip was part of my weekender with WowTrip which was a surprise weekend away (you can read my WowTrip review here) and we ended up in beautiful Brussels. We …
Finnish Lapland is one of the most stunning places on earth. I know that’s a bold claim, but it truly is like a magical wonderland; an untouched, wild frontier that’s both breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly fun. Lapland is the northernmost region of Finland, home to the Sami people, and bordering the Baltic Sea, Sweden, Norway …
Travel bloggers are my favourite people to turn to for advice and recommendations when I’m researching a new destination. They offer a fresh perspective, and quite often answer the questions I’m searching for – especially when it’s for a city where the culture is so different, like Dubai. Before I travelled to Dubai, I did …
Rebecca Sharp from Almost Ginger shares her guide to Mdina in Malta. Mdina is a tiny fortified city in the northern region of Malta. As you can see, it looks more like a film set than a real city which is why it was used as a Game of Thrones film set! Rebecca shares the …
