Earlier this year I outlined my travel plans for the next six months. I announced that from March until August I was going to be slowing down the travels, except I secretly wasn’t — I was hoping to but when it came to actually planning out where to go I …
Six months ago I was heartbroken to be leaving Southeast Asia. The prospect of spending my summer in Europe was more appealing than staying for the rainy season in Asia but I still had plenty of concerns. Could I really afford to spend six months in Europe? Would my itinerary of 16 countries …
I’ve now been travelling for a year so I decided it was time to look back over my packing list and update what’s currently in my bag! The main difference between what I packed last year and this year is the amount of clothes I am carrying with me! I …
