5 THINGS THAT MADE ME HAPPY IN AUGUST

9 September 2018

Hello again! I know I've been MIA on my blog for what seems like years but with my blog Instagram page keeping me busy at the moment, now seemed like a good time to start things up again. I decided to set up this post after reading Callie Thorpe's lovely blog because it seemed like a really positive way to recap my goings-on. So much has happened since I last posted on here but, instead of waffling on about the past year, I'm just going to focus on the past month - which happened to involve a very exciting trip to Thailand.

ONE SECOND EVERYDAY

5 August 2017

After spending a full year chronicling my travels around the world, I fell at the final hurdle. We returned home on 15th March and, after one last-ditch attempt to get everything I’d experienced up on the blog in the form of my Florida post, I became rather distracted. I returned home to friends, family, a new flat and – rather unexpectedly – a job offer to write for one of my favourite websites, Secret London.

THE SUNSHINE STATE

20 March 2017

We touched down in Miami on the 16th of January feeling very jet-lagged, but looking forward to the next leg of our journey. I’ve been dreaming about taking a road trip around the USA for years, so this was the moment I had been waiting for. We had arrived!

COFFEE AND COCKTAILS

25 January 2017

Our last stop in South America was Colombia, and as we were left with a bit of extra time in Bogotá, we did some research and decided to head to Salento - a town in Zona Cafetera famous for it’s coffee. We chose to stay in a hostel called Luciérnaga which we’d recommend despite it’s rather patchy wifi connection! The must-do in Salento is a coffee farm tour and there are loads to choose from. After a bit of research we settled on Finca Don Eduardo, the coffee farm attached to The Plantation House hostel, which ran tours in English everyday at 9am.
