  • Road Trip Films to Watch

    So, I’ve done post about wanderlust novels and a post about wanderlust songs, so now I fancy writing a post about wanderlust films. Or road trip films to be more specific. I’m keen to get a few road trips under my belt: perhaps the full Route 66, maybe around countries such as France or Italy, or even to…

  • 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…

  • Wanderlust Playlist

    Recently I wrote a post on novels that encourage wanderlust, and I mentioned how just listening to music can often leave you wanting to hop on a plane or drive off into the sunset for new adventures. So I knew it wouldn’t be long before I wrote a post on my favourite collection of songs for…

  • Wanderlust Novels

    If you’re bitten by the travel bug, it doesn’t take much to fuel the desire to take off and see the world. Just on the train from London to my home city recently I was listening to Bruce Springsteen and thinking to myself “I could definitely just take off on a motorbike”, before reminding myself…

  • 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…

  • “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”

    Graffiti street art in Curitiba, Brazil Although for kicks I entered it into google translate which turned it into “all work and no play makes Jack a goofball”. Which frankly, has less of the dramatic effect I think Kubrick was aiming for.

  • The Kettle, Curitiba: Getting my tea ‘fix’ in Brazil

    When thinking about Brazil, it is usually associated with images of sandy beaches, football glory, and coffee. Much of Brazil’s economy was generated from the vast quantity of coffee plantations, and it is the world’s largest producer of coffee (a third of all coffee comes from Brazil!) As a quintessentially British lass, however, I am…

  • The Beauty of Genesis (and why Sebastião Salgado is now one of my fave photographers)

    Olá! I am currently writing this post from Brazil after submitting my final assignments of my degree. If the giant, eye-like tower in the photo above is unfamiliar to you- it is a famous landmark of Curitiba that belongs to MON (Museu Oscar Niemeyer). Niemeyer was a famous Brazilian architect who is said to have designed…

  • Surviving A Long-Haul Flight

    When I was a child, the long flights to U.S.A were amazing because we were often given goody bags, the little individual TVs had the option of playing Pokemon, and once the children were invited into the cockpit to talk to the pilot. It was pretty awesome, and as someone who’s always liked aeroplane food (it…

  • Randoms Tips for Visiting Brazil

    I visited Brazil twice last year, for two weeks over the New Year period and then for six whole weeks in Easter. I’ve experienced family dinners and nights out, attempting NYE on a boat (but felt too sea sick to stay), danced a poor attempt at samba and seen monkeys in the wild. It’s a friendly, beautiful country…
