I’m obsessed with Greece. It took me years of travel to finally step foot in the country, but as soon as I did, it was love at first sight. Something about Greece is so healing for me. It calms my overactive mind, soothes my worries, and leaves me feeling healthier …

One of my highlights of this year has been successfully walking the South Downs Way.  This trail is so beautiful! Not only is the scenery breathtaking, but the pubs are cosy, the locals friendly, and the walking challenging — but in a good way. I loved the simplicity of a …

Eighteen months ago, I decided to leave my beloved Lisbon home.  I adored Portugal. After five years of full-time travel, I had been searching for the perfect place to base myself between adventures, and I couldn’t have chosen better. As I transitioned from nomad to an entirely different identity, Portugal …

I can’t believe I successfully completed my first week-long walk. I’m bursting with pride over my achievement.  This month, I walked 120 miles over eight days, following the length of the South Downs Way through Southern England. It was one of the toughest physical challenges of my life, so I’m …

I ducked beneath the barrier and jogged across a nearby sand dune. When I reached the first derelict building, I looked behind me and shot Dave an exhilarated grin. I’ve been a rule-follower for much of my life, but I was learning that disobeying authority was kind of invigorating. I …

When I first left to explore the world, I expected these bloodthirsty insects to be a common occurrence that would have me tearing at my skin every couple of months. After all, I was going …

Things have been more than a little quiet around here. I took an extended break from blogging, and the internet as a whole, to focus on healing. I’ve been battling a hell of a lot of health problems over the past 12 months, some of which I’ve mentioned, some I …

In order to visit Liechtenstein, I had to commit to walking. Dave and I had plans to spend a week in Zurich, Switzerland, and knowing that we would be so close to Liechtenstein was all it took to have me craving popping over for a visit. I’d wanted to visit …

If you’ve been reading my posts about Liechtenstein, you’ll already know I fell hard for this miniature country. I loved it so much! Liechtenstein offers up excellent hiking, beautiful scenery, clean air, and a surprising amount of things to do for such a small place. Well, if you like being …

I have a thing for small countries. I can’t stop travelling to them! Whether it’s Tonga, Brunei, the Maldives, or eSwatini — if ever I find myself in close proximity to a teeny-tiny country, it’s likely I’ll start making plans to hop on over to it. I find it fascinating to …
