Are you planning a trip to the land of Roos, barbies in the arvo and thongs that you wear on your feet? Australia is one heck of a fantastic country and absolutely massive in size. It can be freezing in…

It seems like we live in a world full of stuff, and for many of us, we definitely own more than we need. With Christmas feeling like it was 30 seconds ago, Valentine’s day can open up a whole can…

Planning a trip to Iceland this winter? You’re in for a right treat! With incredible landscapes, unique natural beauty (like, you’re essentially visiting a giant volcano) and the chance to see some amazing wildlife, it will be a trip you…

Now, you all I know I love a good road trip and I feel there’s no better way to explore a place. After spending months and months of road tripping around Australia, I want to find out about other amazing…

The Northern Territory is the true hidden gem of Australia. While the East Coast is full of adrenalin-filled adventures and the west with the most incredible coastline, the Northern territory feels so incredibly different and special. With tropical climates, insane…

I am probably part of about 20 Australia backpacker groups on facebook, and one thing that I see come up time after time is people looking for lifts from A to B. Now, don’t get me wrong, this can be…

Whether it be a weekend or one of the many public holidays Australia has, nothing beats getting out and about for the day. Sydney itself has so much to offer, from the sights of the Opera House, the history and…

I’m kind of ashamed that it took me so long to get to Amsterdam… At a grand total of 40 minutes on a plane and with so many budget flights available from the UK, I really only have my pure…

Nothing, and I mean nothing has saved my bacon more than my phone has when travelling. I have no sense of direction, I’m one of those horrible people who can’t speak another language (despite promising myself year on year that…

What’s the biggest backpacking challenge? Finding your way through an overland border crossing? Getting directions when you don’t speak the language? Searching for a hostel that’s cheap but not horrendously cheap? Nope, none of these. It’s figuring out what the…

Ok, let’s be realistic about things- you can’t go to Australia without visiting Sydney. Am I right? It’s one of the most iconic cities in the world and definitely one of the most visited. But planning a trip here on a…

Darwin isn’t the city that springs to mind when you think of Australia. Sure the sails of the Sydney Opera House and the street art laneways of Melbourne are the things that probably come to mind. But trust me, Darwin…

With over 7,000 Philippines islands to explore it’s easy to see why it’s such an amazingly diverse country with tonnes of things to do. It’s becoming increasingly popular with tourists and I completely get why. Walking around you can see…

Vietnam is known for its motorbikes. You will see not only a person on a bike but the whole family, the contents of their entire house and the pet dog on there- altogether. Hopping on one of these babies really…

Essex is my home. My parents have lived here since they married and we have been in the same house ever since. As I have been travelling a bit less lately, I have come to realise how damn beautiful this county…

Western Samoa is simply stunning. This tiny South Pacific island is where tropical paradise meets a strong Polynesian culture and it feels so untouched, authentic and very naturally beautiful. It’s one of those places where you go back in time…

I think it’s fair to say that Bali is the top destination on a lot of people’s wish lists. With its beautiful beaches, wonderful people, delicious food and rich culture, it’s easy to see why. After finishing our first year…
