During my summers I work at Camp Sloane YMCA in Lakeville, Connecticut. It’s my favourite place in the world.
To see more about where I work and what I do, search ‘Camp Sloane YMCA’ on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, where you will find out exactly what camp life is like.

These lovely people were my tenties lat summer (i.e. we lived in a tent together). That’s me, on the left, and those are my campers and my co-counselor, Juliet. We had such a great time last year, all living in our cosy (*ahem* messy) tent for over a month. This year these girlies have grown … More Photo of the Week: Me And My Campers
So I know I’ve been a bit quiet on the life updates side but really there’s not a lot to tell. Ok so maybe that’s a bit of a lie – life out here is pretty full on and hectic but everyday is sort of the same and probably not that interesting to a camp … More No News Is Good News
Yesterday marked four weeks since I arrived in New York back at the end of May, and I can honestly say that I’ve enjoyed every single day since then. I’ve been at camp for 28 days and I can’t imagine a better place to spend the next 3 months of my life! It’s been pretty … More Photo Of The Week: Four Weeks Down…
These last 2 weeks have been crazy hectic…I can’t believe I’ve been here for that long already! So after a few days in NYC we headed up to Camp to work the Spring season, which basically means doing any and all jobs that need to be done to get camp ready for the summer. It’s … More Photo Of The Week: Loving Life
This last week was full of sad goodbyes and lots of hectic packing, and then all of a sudden it was time to jump on a plane and fly away to New York City to begin my next big adventure. As you’ll know if you’ve been reading the last couple of posts, I’m spending the … More Photo Of The Week: Summer Has Arrived
And so it begins. Again. That’s right. Tomorrow morning I’m off to New York City for the beginning of my next (and this time seemingly indefinite) adventure. I’ll be living and working at Camp Sloane YMCA in Connecticut until mid September, when I’ll be boarding a very long flight to Sydney. And then Australia is … More Here It Goes Again
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post for the travel blog at My Destination all about my experiences working at a Summer Camp in the USA, and it finally went live this weekend. Read about my time at camp and what I got up to this past summer in “the hardest job you’ll ever … More My Destination Guest Post: Working In The USA
This past year has been just unimaginably incredible, so I thought I’d make a video of all the best, funniest and most epic moments that happened along the way. Thank you to everyone who made this year everything that it was.
On my very last morning at camp, I went down to the lake to take one last look at the beauty of the place I had called home for the last 4 months. It was a pretty special moment, with the water as still as I’d ever seen it, and the mist floating along every … More Photo Of The Week: One Last Look
So here I am, sitting in my bed. In London. Wait, what was that? London? Home? Errrrrrr What?! Yes, I am home. After 319 days, multiple countries, countless modes of transport and plenty of awesome experiences, I am actually back where it all began. And it’s a very strange feeling that’s for sure. Good, but … More The Very End
