You’re a rare breed backpacker. You experience a whole heap of things that many people will never come across in their LIVES… goon hangovers, questionable street food and the god damn usefulness of a travel towel. But we’re with you, we know how you feel, we’ve experienced them too and put together a useless BRILLIANT […]
We’ve all read dozens of blogs with dos and don’ts, tips and tricks, must-sees and must-definitely-not-sees… If there’s one thing that I’ve learned during my travels, it’s this: nobody’s perfect! Even the most experienced traveller occasionally screws up. I jotted down ten not so glamourous things about travel that you won’t read about in most […]
Travelling is awesome we all know that. But what makes it EVEN better, is giving something back to the country you’re falling in love with. Whether it’s working with animals or teaching children, travelling with a conscience strengthens your skills, gives you a deeper understanding of your destination, helps those in need and oh yeah, […]

I shouldn’t have to write a blog post separately just for the ladies, but unfortunately, there are differences between the two genders in the vast majority of cases. This is a short and sweet list of things I found that were especially helpful for me while I was travelling Asia. Keep toilet roll with you […]
Next year, I’m travelling to New Zealand! I know – yawn – loads of people before me have done the same thing. But did they pull together a list of things they want to do while they’re there and share it with you? No?! Well, good job I’m here then. This is my living list […]
