How Not to Spend a Day in Jaipur
It took less than a week in India for me to make my first mistake. Despite researching for so long about how to make my time in the Golden Triangle the best ever, I still managed to screw up. You see, when I began to read about Jaipur, I came to two realisations: there’s so much …

Nerves and Nausea Over the Great Barrier Reef
It took my fourth visit to Australia for me to make it north. To make it to what is arguably the country’s most iconic attraction. The Great Barrier Reef. For a long time, I had little interest in seeing it. Let’s be honest, I’m not the best in water. I tend to get seasick from …
