Solo Travel Life: On the road thoughts
Reflecting on my solo travel, no plans way of life This post I wrote one day in Sydney. I found myself back to the life of real solo travel for the first time in many months. I hadn’t worked, nor spent more than 5 nights in one place, in over 2 months. This isn’t that…

What made me want to travel?
Adventure. Freedom. The unknown. A few of the reasons I wanted to travel. But where did my real roots of travel desire come from? Travel has always been in my life. I got on my first airplane at only 9 months old, on a trip to Canada. I went on many holidays from a young…

Camping at Deep Creek, South Australia

First impressions of Adelaide.
Adelaide. The capital of South Australia. The city that is currently my home. Here are some of my (random) first impressions of Adelaide: 1. Beach, city, hills.

30 hours of solo travel – flights, fears, fails… and luck.
Edinburgh -> Abu Dhabi -> Perth -> Adelaide 3 planes, 3 seats TO MYSELF on two planes, 4 SEATS (!!) to myself on my longest plane journey. Did I luck out or what?! I spent my long 10.5 hour flight lying across my entire row. As far as long journeys go, this was probably about as…

Pre-adventure thoughts.
In 3 days I’ll be heading to the other side of the world. Australia, are you ready? Australia, am I ready?! I’m both so totally excited and so completely terrified. Here are a few reasons for such: Why I am excited: I am bored of life in Fife, Scotland. Nothing ever changes, I need change/excitement/adventure….

Australia working holiday visa & flights
Going to Australia means, of course, gaining a visa in order to enter the country. Australia is great in that it encourages young people to experience the Australian lifestyle – being between the age of 18-31 and from the UK, I am entitled to a working holiday visa. (Note: there is a limited number of…

Decisions. (Not my strong point)
From September 2013 – July 2014 I lived and studied in Nice, France. Immersing myself in a new culture made me realise how ignorant I was (am?) to so much of the world. In other words, this experience changed something within me: the ultimate desire to further discover the world and the differing lifestyles on…
