During a round the world trip in 2011, I followed the route most backpackers take in Australia and headed up the East Coast. It’s a well-trodden path and with highlights like Fraser Island, the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach it’s easy to see why. Most of us spend the majority of it in the…
There are a handful of places you visit when backpacking through South East Asia that truly surprise you. You stumble across them by accident, and they weren’t on your initial itinerary.

I’ve been constantly inspired by the creativity and often simplicity of the videos, it gives me a sense of ‘anyone can do it’ and love the DIY ‘rough around the edges’ type approach. In this video ‘17…

At this point in our trip I’d spent 5 months away from chilly England and it was the first time in a while that I’d seen a proper morning frost on the ground. It was a drastic change from the humidity of Singapore and the warmer climates of the North Island of New Zealand. However…
Many of you won’t be aware that in 2012 I was shortlisted for one of Tourism Australia’s ‘Best Jobs in the World’, to be a ‘Wildlife Caretaker’ in South Australia.

I’ve been a big tennis fan since I was young, and going to all four Grand Slams has always been high on my Bucket List.

Following the popularity of Christmas Abroad: Part 1, another 7 travellers write about their most memorable Christmas Abroad. This year, I’ll be spending Christmas at home, with the family in the South of England, hoping for some snow, walking the dog and stopping by the local pub! Where will you be?
