I started this blog six years ago to share my travels with family and friends. It grew from a place where I shared my impressions about the people, places, thoughts and things I encountered to a really cool way to experience the world. It gave me freedom and creativity to plan and go on the …
Going to Scotland in November probably seems insane, particularly the north of the country. It’s fairly remote, accessed by a 3-hour drive on SINGLE TRACK roads from Inverness airport. But it was actually perfect. We rented a cottage, went for long walks, togged up in the pub and accepted that rainy conditions may knock out …
Hong Kong. I think we landed 10 years to the day that I’d last been there. I just remember wanting Chinese food and not finding anything good, so the city left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended). This time though we had locals to show us around, and C. has been about …
We have a big honeymoon planned for 2020 (keep your eyes peeled for updates), but since one of my life goals is going to Italy at least once a year for the rest of my life, and we just got married, we decided to combine these two things for a little minimoon. Since we did …

I’ve wanted to go to Cambodia for years now, and after trying to work in time to go with girlfriends or the fiancé, I finally bit the bullet and decided I’d just go alone rather than wait for schedules to align. It wasn’t the first time I’ve travelled alone in Asia- I went to Bali …
Do you ever have those moments in your life where you stop what you’re doing and wonder, what did I do to bring me to this moment, right now? What were the series of steps and decisions that brought me here? At around 6:45pm last month, I was in the middle of rural Cambodia, sitting …
