About me
On my college application form, there was a question:
If you could become anything, what would you be?
I wrote: Travel writer.
While everyone around me chose impressive careers (the ones we were brainwashed into thinking we wanted), I wanted to travel and write about it. That was it.
And this was in 2012, when social media and “the travel influencer” didn’t exist yet.
However, I still went the traditional route & chose something sensible – a full time job in marketing
But that urge for travelling never went away…
I took my first trip at 16 with my mum and fell in love.
I’ve been to a few more places since and each trip has changed me for the better. Like most people, I also work full-time. And I know how much thought needs to go into a short adventure. That’s what this blog is about – helping you plan the incredible trip you deserve.
For people who have 4 days, 10 days, or maybe 2 weeks for travel and want those days to count…
You’re in the right place.
What You’ll find here
Realistic travel guides for short trips, honest lessons from trips that didn’t go perfectly, solo travel reflections, and travel inspiration that actually feels possible.
This Blog Is a Work in Progress
This isn’t a perfectly curated, flawlessly aesthetic travel blog. On many of my earlier trips, I barely took photos. And the ones that I did take weren’t very good. But that will change, so please be patient! Thank you for reading and supporting my little corner of the internet 💜.
favourite poem
When despair for the world grows in me,
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
The Peace of Wild Things, by Wendell Berry
