A Weekend In Cairns
I’m off to Cairns this weekend to visit friends who have just moved there, and I can’t wait! I know the city reasonably well, as I did my 3-months farm work an hour away and it’s a great little place for a holiday! Known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and famed for its backpacker…

A Little Trip to Ljubljana
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia is one of the nicest cities I’ve visited and was the 3rd stop on my inter-rail tour last summer. I instantly fell in love with the city and it’s people and was so glad to be spending nearly a week in the country. Ljubljana is super small for a capital…

Life on a Banana Farm – Part 2
Time to dish the dirt on the actual farming. There are only a few types of farms around Innisfail; papaya, rambutan and (by far the most common) banana. I was lucky and ended up on a banana farm with my 2 friends, so that automatically made life slightly easier. However, rumour has it that banana…

Life on a Banana Farm – Part 1
First things first, apologies for the complete radio silence over the past 5 months – shocking, I know! I’d like to make my excuses and claim I’ve been stuck on a banana farm in the middle of nowhere, with no form of communication with the outside world. But that would be a lie. Apart from…

Second Stop: 24 Hours in Vienna
Due to some bad planning/ incorrect train timetables online, we only had around 20 hours to spend in Vienna. We did a complete whirlwind tour of the city and managed to see some of the main sites – albeit very quickly! We arrived into Vienna in the late morning and by the time we had booked…

I’m Moving Down Under!
On January 12th 2017 I’m taking the plunge and moving to Australia! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, ever since travelling there in 2013, and now it’s actually happening. Despite my leaving date quickly approaching it still hasn’t quite sunk in that I’m moving to the other side of the world. Gulp. Deciding to…

First Stop: Prague
The first stop on our interrail tour was Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. I’d heard amazing things about Prague from friends who had visited, so my expectations were pretty high. We arrived late on the Friday evening, so there was no time to do anything other than check in and go to bed. We…

Interrailing 2016: The Logistics
I’ve just returned from the most amazing 17 day interrail trip around Eastern Europe and am seriously suffering from the post-holiday blues. I went with 10 (yes 10) friends and, despite one argument, the trip went swimmingly. We started our trip in Prague then made our way to Bucharest via Vienna, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Zagreb…

The London List: Eating
It’s been a while since I’ve done a food post, so I’ve gathered together a couple of foodie recommendations! When I first moved to London I regularly featured my restaurant suggestions and favourite places to eat, and this has started to slip in recent months. This is mainly due to the fact that I’ve now found my favourite places…
