Way back in my early years when the only friends I had abroad were pen friends and getting an international student at our school was a big deal, I’ve been fascinated by living abroad. I remember looking to the sky many a time and wondering what time it was in America or Europe or anywhere really just so I could imagine what people were doing at that exact moment in […]

Why I Won’t Pre Book Travel
After spending time backpacking around Europe and now living in London I’ve met a few backpackers.

A vehicle […]
Solo Travel Should Be Compulsory

OK so before you grab your pick axe’s and begin to beat me half to death proving why the above mentioned ways of travel […]
