Wordsmith and creative, ready to help you forge your path
It's been a year since I first started my Travel Bucketlist, and being halfway through my year abroad, it's a good time to check back in and see what I've seen and what's left to see. Ticked off Prague Prague was undoubtedly a beautiful city, and the weather we got was phenomenal. My lasting image…
The beauty of Europe as a continent is the ease with which borders can be crossed, so long as you have the right meaningless piece of paper, and being on a year abroad means you have an obscene amount of free time. Sometimes that means that I spiral into Netflix marathons and don't leave my…

France is one of my most under-travelled areas of Europe, something that is particularly shoddy seeing as it is the country closest to the UK on the continent. Within minutes of setting foot in its capital, I was struck by the alien nature of it. It's been a while since I've been in a country with…

The only thing to make me emotionally okay with coming back to Munich after the disappearance of the Christmas markets was the promise that the buzz of tinsel-lined huts and Glühwein would be replaced with a calming blanket of white snow. And I wasn't disappointed. As soon as my flight from London began to descend…

I spent my summer documenting my travels with my new grown-up camera, taking a step up from my iPhone Instagram pics, so I thought I'd group them altogether here to showcase my summer of shooting.
After 16 hours of travelling from Stockholm, we dumped our stuff in our hostel and immediately headed out for some food. We took in our first afternoon in the city sitting by the river, and the sun came out in force while we were relaxing there, making for a very peaceful start to the city.…

Within minutes of getting into our hostel in Stockholm, we immediately realised that this was far more social than the other hostels we had been in. We were invited to a bar crawl in Gamla Stan, Stockholm's old town, and after a speedy dinner in Burger King (cultural, I know), we headed straight out into…
