Mālō e lelei from Vava’u, Tonga! One thing I’ve learned from my time in this country so far? This is a destination in which to disconnect! With unusable and/or expensive Wi-Fi ($25 for 500 mb!) and rarely more than an 2G connection on my phone, posting on Never Ending Footsteps …
November was a rollercoaster of a month but excitedly, marked the start of my new nomadic travels! Let’s get stuck in. I kicked off the month in London, where I was there to see my family, move everything I own back into their house, and get my chronic hiccups seen …
When I last left you, I had just fallen in love with Maine. Despite Dave and I considering throwing our money to the wind and cancelling the rest of our road trip to stay in Acadia National Park, I knew we had to at least get to New Hampshire. Everyone …
I’m rolling August and September together for this monthly summary because, um, I barely stepped outside in August and didn’t have anything interesting to write about. I kicked off August with a commitment to insomnia. Back at the start of the year, I set myself a goal to wake at …
I kicked off July by falling in love. After giving myself permission to stop putting everything I had into visiting everysinglecountryintheworldrightnow, I reduced the pressure in my brain enough that I could turn my attention to returning to my homeland.

In March, I hopped on a plane back south again and made Namibia my destination of the month. At the start of 2017, I made a vow to explore as much of the African continent as I could and I’m pleased to share it’s been a tremendous success so far. I’ve …
I kicked off February on a plane to Swaziland. I knew very little about the place when I booked my flight, but just a small amount of research had me convinced I should visit. Mostly after I discovered Swaziland has one of the highest numbers of people struck by lightning per capita …
I can’t not acknowledge the fact that my monthly summaries have been all over the place! I hit the pause button on them for a while, as they’ve always been some of my least popular posts, but after so many requests to bring them back, I realised they were more loved …
I kicked off month 61 by getting my sparkle back. I’d just finished the Whole30 and felt the best I had in, well, forever. I couldn’t believe that after all this time, a change of diet was all it had taken to completely transform my mental and physical health. With my anxiety under control, …
I kicked off month 60 with a heart-warming visit from my parents. I couldn’t wait to show them around my new home. I’d been saving all of the most touristy activities in Lisbon for when they were here, so I was thrilled to finally get to discover what brings most people here. …
