Personal Blog
As a full time traveller, I am constantly exploring new destinations and experiencing weird and wonderful encounters and situations. You’ll find the more glossy descriptions and recommendations of each location in my destinations page, but here I share my own personal experiences of the places I visit, including some not so glossy bits.

Holi: A Rollercoaster Experience of the Hindu Festival of Colour
One of our biggest reasons for travelling to India this year was the opportunity to experience Holi, the colour festival. This was something that had been on the bucket list for years, so when the dates lined up with our travel plans we were both very excited. Holi is...
6 weeks in Rajasthan
We took this iconic route at about a third of the speed of normal tourists, to compensate for the hustle and bustle and intensity and chaos that is travel in India. And it was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Here’s how it went!
48 Hours in St Louis
I didn't really know too much about St Louis before going - if I'm honest it was more a way for me to tick off another US state and get my closer to my goal of visiting all 50 - but it ended up being a fantastic weekend trip, and a city I highly recommend visiting!...
