Lighthouse Park Hike | Vancouver
What better way to spend a sunny autumn Saturday than on a coastal forest hike? The temperature has dropped massively in Vancouver since I arrived last month, and many days are grey or rainy. We even had snow the other…
Lynn Canyon Hike | Vancouver
One of the reasons I chose British Columbia over Canada’s other provinces for my working holiday (at least to start with) is the abundance of hiking opportunities. Although, arriving in autumn means I’ll save a lot of them until spring…
Arriving in Canada on a Working Holiday
So, I’ve moved to Canada, and I’m a little over a week in so far. Strangely, it feels like much longer than that somehow, even though I still feel incredibly new to the city. My first impression of Vancouver is…
I’m Moving to Canada
Who remembers about seven years ago when I published this post about moving to Hong Kong after I finished university (that’s your cue to go and read it if you don’t remember)? Well, here we are again, except this time,…
Isle of Arran Day Trip | Scotland
The Isle of Arran sits just off the west coast of Scotland, tucked into the Firth of Clyde. A friend and I took a weekend trip to the island, and nearby Ayrshire recently. This is, therefore, the first of two…

Gran Canaria | Spain
First things first, if you haven’t seen the first part of my time in Gran Canaria, in Las Palmas, and the explanation behind my trip, then you can check it out here. I was on the island…
Quarantine Diaries | Part 2 | Feeling Drained
Hello again. Been a while, hasn’t it? Normally when I take an extended break from blogging, it’s because life has gotten busy. This couldn’t be further from the truth right now. I’m now up to 20 weeks of being furloughed…
Palenque | Mexico
To put it bluntly, Palenque is a pain in the arse to get to. It’s a long drive from whichever other location you’re coming from. This post cover two days out of our trip, and at least half of each…
