Tips for Travelling South America. I spent just over three months travelling South America and there were a few things I wish I had known before going out there, and things I did know but chose not to listen to. Now I have been and experienced it myself I realise I was stupid not to have taken note and am now offering advice that I ignored, plus some extra bits I wish I had known before hand. Please don’t do what…
Travelling is tiring. I know it sounds ridiculous to many, but travelling is tiring. I know, you’re probably thinking, “Oh come on! You don’t have to work, you get to see awesome places, have freedom” etc. Yes, that’s true and I am not complaining at all. I am very grateful for all the travelling I have been able to do and I absolutely love it with a passion! But there are times when I just want to stop. Stop thinking…
I am no expert in travelling Wales at all, however, I do know that it has a LOT to offer. I lived and studied there for two years and during my road trip of the UK i thought i would show my Australian friend how beautiful it is. Snowdonia National Park: home to Mount Snowdon Whilst we were there the rain clouds decided to hang around the entire Snowdonia Mountain range which was a big shame as we only had…
Beautiful. Colonial. Quaint. Different? Paraty is all of the above and so much more. Paraty is the first place I visited when entering Brazil and it gave me such a different view of the country.

It’s one of them experiences where at the time you will question: Why am I doing this? Why did I pay to put myself through this? Will I make it to the end of this journey? Will it even be worth it at the end? So many questions and so many slips of positive mental…
Having been fully vegan for just one year this was my first time backpacking as a vegan. Lots of people had asked me how I would manage out here in a country that predominantly eats a lot of meat but I assured them I would be fine and I’d manage. Despite being vegan, when I’m eating out and food is out of my control (to some extent) I am not a fussy eater. As long as I have food in…
“Squeaaaak!!” “Squeaaaak!!” That is the sound of the brakes squeaking on the bus, running straight through my body giving me shivers every 5 seconds. I’m currently sat on a 8-9 hour (well according to our tour guide it could be anything from 6-7-8-9 hours so who knows) bumpy bus ride to my home for the next month – Peru. Leaving beautiful Ecuador behind I want to give a bit of a summary of my time here (I’ll TRY and keep…
