We should all aim to reduce our plastic waste every day, not just while we’re travelling. However, when we travel, destinations which deal with a high number of visitors struggle to manage the waste effectively so plastic-free travel is even more important. If we apply the same principles of reducing plastic waste when we travel […]

I was so excited to return to Italy after a few years of absence. I adore everything about Italy; the people, the culture, art, architecture and the incredible food. However, as I only had 2 days in Milan, there was no way I could fit in all of the wonderful things to do in Milan, […]

I speak to women all the time who say they could never do what I do. And men too for that matter! They can’t understand how I manage to head off to a new country by myself, travel around and not freak out. Travelling alone for the first time wasn’t a big deal for me, […]

Colombia still has a bad reputation, but is it justified? Can Colombia really shake off the dark shadows of the past when drug lords ruled over the country and violence and death was a way of life here? I loved Colombia. It was my favourite country in South America, after 10 months of travelling alone […]

I love spending time alone. A quiet moment to myself, to be able to do whatever I want, when I want, the freedom really is liberating! I was never afraid of travelling alone, it didn’t occur to me to be scared of packing my bags and heading off somewhere new. However, there is one part […]

Tulum is a special place. Far less touristy, and much cheaper, than Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Tulum has become THE place to visit on the Mexican Riviera Maya. Tulum used to be a chilled out little fishing town, now it is growing in size and popularity it still manages to maintain that hippy vibe. […]
