Isn’t it funny how by doing something that you don’t think you’ll like you usually end up learning a lot about yourself? And sometimes you even end up loving the thing you thought you’d hate? When No Becomes Yes Take for example, the venture into the rainforest that I did in Cairns, Australia. Pre-trip there …
The Landmark Trust is probably something you’ve vaguely heard of but don’t know a lot about.

Why haven’t I stayed in a Landmark Trust property before!? Before I go …
Ahh, summer holidays – a highlight of each year for as long as you can remember, right?

New York is one of the most famous cities in the world and was a place I’d been desperate to visit for years before I finally went in December. It’s a city that is familiar to all of us; one that everybody seems to know and love before even setting foot on its streets. Despite …

If you’re anything like me, you left school, graduated uni, got a job, and started to settle down into what the rest of your life might look like. Only, you’re not quite sure if you’re ready for that yet. You’re getting itchy feet. You dream of far-flung beaches and nameless mountains. Of long-haul flights and …

So many love the idea of an adventure but not half of us really know how to have one. For me, going on an adventure means starting with an idea of where you want to go or what you want to achieve, but being completely open to things going wrong in the knowledge that really, it’s the …
When I boarded the Celebrity Cruise ship I had no idea what to expect. It was my first time cruising as an adult and I was travelling in a completely new way. I had no idea what to pack or what I’d be doing in my spare time so this post is for anyone going …
As a travel blogger I’m so lucky that I get to visit lots of different countries but one of my favourite things is to re-visit a place that I’ve already been and loved. On my first visit I’m like a rabbit in the headlights with wide eyes and a slack jaw as I try to …

I know what you’re thinking. Selfies are one of the most self-absorbed cries for attention possible. Almost every selfie I see on Facebook is accompanied by the hashtag #SelfieWanker in a hopeless attempt to seem like less of a, well, selfie wanker. But I’m a massive fan of the selfie and in 2015 my resolution …
Last year I took part in a yoga retreat with Azul Fit on the island of Fuerteventura. It was a fantastic week and it left me feeling fitter, healthier, slimmer and more relaxed. I vowed to make yoga retreats a yearly ritual and I’m desperate to take another one this year. Ibiza looks like the …

Massive thanks to Jessica from The Belle Voyage for today’s post about immersing yourself into a new culture while you travel.
