The Top Places In The World To Be A Hippy
October 5, 2015
Some locations are just better designed to bring out your inner-hippy than others. I don’t necessarily mean places to chant ‘om’; these are (in my opinion) spots where it seems easier to feel love, peace and zen. The kind of moments that make you go ‘aaah’ and everything seems right with the world, for a … More The Top Places In The World To Be A Hippy

Blast From The Past

So here we are, the start of another new year, and I find myself in the same city I awoke in on New Year’s Day two years ago. Ever since I left Melbourne, Australia 14 months ago I’ve been hatching plans to come back to the place I had such fun in. The route back … More Blast From The Past
Life’s A Beach
March 3, 2014
*This is a guest post written by the multi-talented Kneale Brown* Travelling as a Brit is a queer thing. That season-less feeling of summer merely because the sun has got his hat on.

Flying Home For Christmas
August 22, 2013
Last week I did something crazy. I booked a flight home to England. I knew I was going to head home around Christmas-time, having been away for 20 months already. I would obviously need to buy a flight in order to get there. But on an impulse (and feeling slightly hungover) I went ahead and … More Flying Home For Christmas
Temporary Citizen
June 5, 2013
Hi, I’m Helen and I live at no fixed abode. To me, this is one of the joys and curses of being a long-term traveller; a real double-edged sword. You have the opportunity to live short-term in any place that takes your fancy. But it’s near impossible to be accepted in these locations as a … More Temporary Citizen
