To any of you that have been following my travels over the past few years, you'll know that I've been lucky enough to call London my home for the past two years.

When the Weather Ruins Your Travel Plans

My detour so far has been the … Continue reading 1 Year Into The Detour – Reflecting On A Year As An Expat

Sometimes being an expat is just downright suck-y. Most of the time living in another country is all excitement, new friends, new places and busy, crazy weekends exploring; however there are those other times when things are a little less rosy. 1.When Your Friends Back Home Don't Get It London makes you very, very poor, … Continue reading The Worst Thing About Being An Expat

Free London – Yoga Classes

September 12, 20166 Comments

London is super expensive, and gym memberships are one of the most extortionate differences from my home city (we're talking up to $200 aud a month compared to $45 aud a month back home- UK please explain!). However, being a poor little expat, I have found a few good freebies that help me save a … Continue reading Free London – Yoga Classes

After conquering the city streets of London, then spending the next year lying on a beach on Fraser Island in Australia, I’m now in the snowy mountains of Canada to continue my detour and document my travels abroad. I’m a lover of Christmas, binge watching TV shows, making yogi shapes and drinking far too much red wine and prosecco. Follow my adventures as I embrace the detours as a twenty-something.
