Travel is, at its very essence, a tool – nothing more… nothing less. Broken … Continue Reading

Moving to a different country can be one of the most exciting yet most daunting things a person can do!

Ignoring the seemingly ‘douchey’ title (…”travelling a lot“), let’s jump right in shall we! 🙂 [Photo: in Sri Lanka] 1.) It’s never too early for plane wine! In regular, real-life, you’d never wake up at 7am and head straight to the kitchen to open up a bottle of Pinot Grigio (or perhaps you would … Continue Reading
Putting up photos on Instagram is one of the simplest things in the world. You can quite literally click, upload and even insert a witty caption in seconds.

My last post on things I wished I knew a year ago has been one of the most personally rewarding posts I’ve had the pleasure of writing.
