Continuing The Detour – On To The Next Adventure

September 6, 2017August 20, 2018Leave a comment

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. I have loved everything about living in this crazy huge city (with the exception of spending the morning in a squished tube with … Continue reading Continuing The Detour – On To The Next Adventure

Ever wanted to pack all of your possessions in van (preferably a pretty VW Kombi in a pastel colour) with one of your best friends and road trip to a new country?

Seven Sisters Coastal Hike, U.K.

April 17, 2017Leave a comment

For my first ever hike in the U.K. (yes, a long time coming since I moved here over a year and a half ago!) I wanted something coastal, with great views, fresh air and within easy travelling distance of London. I decided on a Seven Sisters & Beachy Head hike that gave me all of … Continue reading Seven Sisters Coastal Hike, U.K.

When the Weather Ruins Your Travel Plans

April 7, 2017April 7, 2017Leave a comment

You can have every little detail of your trip planned. Every hotel, every transfer, every activity and day tour booked, but some days ol’ mother nature decides to come by and ruin your plans. To say the weather I had on my last trip to Galway, Ireland was dreary is a colossal understatement. During the … Continue reading When the Weather Ruins Your Travel Plans

1 Year Into The Detour – Reflecting On A Year As An Expat

October 11, 2016August 20, 20184 Comments

What a crazy year. This month marks my one-year, my half way, my middle point into my two year visa as an Australian expat in the U.K. This year has been an insane range of emotions from crazy highs and happiness to small bouts of stress and loneliness. My detour so far has been the … Continue reading 1 Year Into The Detour – Reflecting On A Year As An Expat

The Worst Thing About Being An Expat

September 15, 2016August 20, 201813 Comments

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

When In Cambridge, UK

September 6, 2016September 6, 20165 Comments

When in Cambridge, live like the students do. My sister and I decided on a whim that we would head to Cambridge and make a proper weekend of it by staying over night. Now, my sister might say that I always leave the accommodation planning to her (occasionally true.. but only because of her ridiculously … Continue reading When In Cambridge, UK

Why You Should Travel With Your Mum

August 10, 2016September 11, 20166 Comments

Shout out to my mum for coming with me (or for letting me crash her solo trip) to the highlands of Scotland & the Isle of Skye on my latest trip. My mother is an extraordinarily loving (even if sometimes slightly too formal), hard working, strong, resilient, selfless and adorably cute woman and being away … Continue reading Why You Should Travel With Your Mum

The Best Views In The Scottish Highlands

August 7, 2016September 11, 20164 Comments

In the highlands of Scotland everywhere you look is another perfect view, another gorgeous loch another cute town and perfect natural beauty at every round of the corner. I saw so many incredible views while road tripping the highlands that it's impossible to narrow them down to my top favourites - however I have somehow … Continue reading The Best Views In The Scottish Highlands

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.
