One Great Day in Tallinn, Estonia

February 2, 20175 Comments

  Tallinn, Estonia is one of those beautiful little European cities that are just so gorgeously quaint. Walking down the cobbled streets, I just imagine every local cuddled up with a plaid wool blanket next to a stone fireplace drinking a glass of red wine (just me?). The old town of Tallinn can be seen … Continue reading One Great Day in Tallinn, Estonia

Restless Feet

December 12, 2016August 20, 2018Leave a comment

I think I've always had pretty restless feet, it's only in the last few years that I've actually had the courage (or the sense) to actually act on that. You only have to look at my Linked In profile to see that even when I was safely tucked away in my little hamlet of Brisbane, … Continue reading Restless Feet

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.
