Last Easter I went to Belgium with my family, and we stayed in Antwerp, which was brilliant, full of lovely restaurants and cultural sights. But for me, the best bit of the weekend was our day trip to Bruges (where the film In Bruges is set), where we traipsed around endless chocolate shops and visited … More Photo Of The Week: The Belfort, Bruges
In the summer I went to the Greek island of Samos, and stayed in the beautiful town of Pythagorio, right on the waterfront. By day this place is quiet and relaxed, but by night it comes alive, with endless bars along the harbour all packed to the brim with locals and holiday makers.
Oh man I’m craving some travel escapades right now, I mean seriously, I can’t sit still and I’m this close to packing a bag, grabbing my sleeping bag, tent and of course passport (for those just-in-case, you-never-know-what-could-happen moments) and jumping into my car for an impromptu road trip. That would be epic.
I just had an interview with Camp Sloane for a placement with them during this coming summer, and I am so excited to announce that I GOT THE JOB!!!! I’m absolutely over the moon, and now cannot wait for June to hurry up and get here already. It’s going to be the best summer ever, … More Hurry Up Summer!
I’ve been to Siena a few times now, and I’m always astounded by its beauty. The architecture is incredible, and one day I hope to be there to witness the Palio, the horse race that takes place in the Piazza del Campo, where this photograph was taken.

And to be honest I was pretty disappointed. I’ve always considered myself to be well travelled, but apparently I’ve only been to 13 different countries (and … More How Many?
Last September I went with a friend to Paris for a few days, to see the sights and a band called ‘Stars’. On our second day there we went up the Eiffel Tower to get a look at the city from above. I love the way the contrast of the sun versus the clouds illuminates … More Photo of the Week: Paris Skyline
So in preparation for my upcoming RTW trip I’ve been going through all the brochures I got from STA (we went and had a chat with them last week about our plans), and even though I’m not going be leaving for another 10 months and nothing’s even booked yet, I’m so excited. I’m like a … More Planning + Costing
This was honestly one of the most beautiful sunsets I think I’ve ever seen, taken over the South Pool at the Sugar Beach Resort in Mauritius just after Christmas. The way the sun’s orange rays broke away and up through the clouds was just amazing, illuminating the whole sky.
Over the last week I have mostly been focusing on my dissertation and getting a solid first draft done so that I can really turn my attention to this project, because knowing me, once I properly start the editing on the various parts of my portfolio, I won’t stop, and everything else will be out … More (5) Getting Back To It
