I now have the privilege of being able to do all three, by ‘throwing in the towel’ so to speak and travelling full-time with my partner Mike, writing about our experiences, and eating new and exotic (but not too exotic) foods.

Not realising it was Ramadhan,… Read more →

Our Travel Plans (Or Lack Thereof…)

On all the occasions where we’ve travelled, we’ve planned our trip meticulously. We read our Lonely Planet from front to back, read reviews, pre-booked all our accommodation and major activities and tracked it all on a very well kept spreadsheet. Being that we only had a certain amount of time to travel, we wanted to make sure we made the… Read more →
