  • So I’m off to teach English in Spain…

    After a couple of months of various Skype interviews and a billion applications, soon I will be heading to Burgos in the North of Spain to spend the academic year working as a teaching assistant at a local school. Excited? Very, there is probably no better way to increase my skill as a Spanish speaker. And a year abroad…

  • Trip to Brighton

    A few photos from back in July when my dad took me to Brighton as a birthday day trip! The Royal Pavilion and Art Gallery – The gardens were beautiful and blooming with flowers. Apparently by law the grass must be kept relatively long, so the royalty who would stay here could comfortably walk on…

  • Wandering around Manchester

    I booked a last minute train journey to Manchester, as my sister and her boyfriend had a spare ticket to see a brass band play. Why the hell not. The next day I had the afternoon to myself. I’m currently in the middle of a photography course, so I was keen to get to grips…

  • London Life on a Budget

    I lived in and out of London for the best part of three years during my university studies, and whilst I came to call it my home, it can still be the daunting giant every non-Londoner views it as. Whilst I learnt to navigate the underground, roll my eyes at slow walking tourists and now I pay…

  • Travel Momentoes

    It sometimes feels like an innate part of human nature to desire a souvenir of their experiences. To remind us when we’re old that we really did have a life, and an amazing one at that. Particularly on our travels, so we have something to fondly remember the best times of our lives. World Map…

  • Favourite Memories from the U.S.A

    Every two years my family and I would jet off on holiday to the country that to many is all about dreams. I feel incredibly lucky that my parents would save for these magnificent getaways, and not just leave my sister and I behind. As I have no concrete plans to visit the U.S for…

  • A Walk Along a Canal

    When I snapped a previous polaroid of the 5 Rise Locks in Bingley, West Yorkshire, it was after walking 6 miles to Saltaire and back with my mum and grandparents. I had taken photos with my DSLR all along the way, so quickly dug out my polaroid so I wouldn’t have carried it around all day…

  • Lesser Known Gems of London

    I love reading travel posts about London, because it is my love and it’s always fun to discover new places. Therefore I find it a bit irritating when people headline with “Places in London you MUST Visit” with all the obvious choices: The London Eye, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace etc. I think most people visiting London…

  • Travel Destinations Top of my Bucket List

    India Despite all the warnings about travelling around India in regards to food and what not to eat, and knowing my luck I will still eat something that won’t agree with me, I am desperate to visit this beautiful country. Possibly influenced by my love of elephants and tea? Yes… but it is a country…

  • Summer Solstice at Stonehenge

    Bigger rock stars than found at Glastonbury… Stonehenge, usually closed off throughout the year, during solstice celebrations allows anyone to flock together among the ancient stones to witness the sunset and the sunrise. Joining in has always been on my bucket list, and although we didn’t stay for the sunrise (if you ever want to…
