A winter season living and working in Les Arcs, France, honing my snowboarding skills and generally having a grand old time playing in the snow!
**Disclaimer: This started out as a very sensible post about how my attitude to travelling has changed over the years but somewhere along the way it turned into a brain splurge of thoughts and feelings about my travelling life. It may not make much sense. Also, it is long. Read at your own will. I’ve … More The Most Honest Post I’ve Ever Written: Help?! I Think I’m A Travelling Snob.
Happy New Year guys! I hope you all had a great 2013 and excellent celebrations to bring in 2014?! So we’re about 2 weeks into the new year, but before I chat about what I’ve been up to so far in 2014, lets go back a bit. And 2013 sure was a busy one for … More Roo Around The World’s Travel Year: A Review Of 2013
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently, about how this long term travelling lifestyle can affect all the old friendships you’ve left behind at home. Friends who still mean the absolute world to you and who probably know you better than anyone else – they are the ones you grew up with, through primary … More Does Travelling Mean The End For Old Friendships?
It’s been weeks, months and years of planning, hoping, wishing and dreaming, but I finally did it. I finally boarded that plane and moved to Australia! And what a crazy journey it’s been. This all began way back in December 2011 when, pretty much just days after arriving in this gloriously sunny country, I’d decided … More From London to Australia, A Journey
Since meeting this girl way back on June 17th, 2011, my life hasn’t been the same. Rosa and I have pretty much spent every single day together for over 2 years, (minus the 3 months I lived in France this year) and I can’t imagine the rest of my life without her. We’ve spent 3 … More Photo Of The Week: Me And My BFF

So it’s been a while since my last post and I have some pretty sad news to tell you. This is my last post for Natives as the season is over and I am now back in England and already missing the snow! It’s mental how fast the last 3 months have gone…it feels like … More The Final Days in Les Arcs (For Natives.co.uk)
This week my whole extended family came out to Les Arcs to visit me for Easter weekend and to celebrate my sister’s 17th birthday. We’ve had such a laugh bombing it around the mountains, and teaching my littlest sister to ski for the first time ever. We’ve eaten, we’ve drunk, we’ve eaten some more, and … More Photo Of The Week: A Family Visit
As you may have read in my latest Natives post, this week I got the chance to go over to Tignes for the opening day of the 2013 European X Games. And even though it snowed ALL day, it was freezing cold and the Womens’s Slopestyle (mahoosive jumps) got cancelled because of the weather, it … More Photo Of The Week: The Euro X Games!
When I returned to Les Arcs from my week in London, I was surprised and disappointed to find that there was practically NO SNOW. I’m not even exaggerating. While I’d been away they’d had glorious sunshine for 7 days straight, meaning that all the snow had either melted or turned to ice…not much fun eh? … More Jumping, St Patrick’s Day and The X Games (for Natives.co.uk)
