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…
Quarantine Diaries | Part 3 | Hello 2021

Oaxaca | Mexico
I feel like I need to preface this post by stating that Oaxaca was definitely Cintia’s favourite place on the whole trip, as she proceeded to tell me every single day after it! I liked it a lot as well,…
Plitvice Lakes National Park | Croatia
For the second half of my week long holiday in Croatia, I travelled out of Dubrovnik and took a bus north to Split (you can also take a ferry or flight!). I was staying there for four nights,…
