Kyoto | Japan Part 1

I'm in Japan! It feels a little surreal saying that. I think Japan is one of those countries we're so familiar with images of when we're young, but seems so far away, that actually being here takes a minute to get used to. And as familiar with certain…

Taipei Day Trips | Taiwan Part 2

As I mentioned at the end of my last post, I enjoyed my first few days in Taipei, but I didn't feel like there was enough to do to occupy all four of my days in Taiwan. So, for days three and four, I ventured out of the…

Taipei City | Taiwan Part 1

So, anyone who read my last post carefully, or who follows me on other social media, will know that since I've now finished my job in Hong Kong, I will be travelling through several Asian countries for the next two months, before eventually returning to the UK again.…

Farewell Hong Kong (Again)

Around this time last year, I wrote this post, saying goodbye to Hong Kong as I prepared to leave and move on to South Korea. Little did I know then, that Korea was not the right place for me at all - read that story here - and…

Dear Future Travellers

This is a letter to anyone considering travelling further afield or for an extended amount of time, or even those considering moving abroad. This is a letter to say do it. It will be one of the most terrifying and stressful experiences of your life. But it was…

Surviving Long Haul Journeys

I've done my fair share of long haul journeys during my travels over the last few years, be it 8-10 hours of driving across Central America, a 12-13 hour train journey across Europe, or a 24, or even 36 hour flight halfway around the world. They are definitely not…

Civilised or Savage?

Are we civilised or are we savages? It all depends on your definitions of those words, really. With our houses, cities, businesses and commodities, we seem to be a developed (or developing at least) world, advanced enough in our technology to be 'civilised'. We control our emotions, our…

Outfit – On The Move

This is a very active variation on this dress; it's pretty short, even for me, so it can be a bit restrictive in terms of movement when worn alone. However, leggings make it so much more versatile, and both items are very comfy, stretchy, and easy to move…

30 Days of Yoga

So, I'm not exactly known for being an active, sporty person. Honestly, I hated sports all through school (wth the exception of swimming, since we holidayed abroad, though I was never interested in doing it competitively) and stopped doing any after leaving. I walk a lot though, since…

The Songs That Saved Me

Ok, so "saved me" is a bit of an exaggeration, but we all understand what I'm on about here, right? These are the songs that had a profound impact on me, emotionally at least. They are songs that made me feel better when I was feeling terrible, or…
