Cambridge is not the most convenient hub for day trips using public transport especailly not to Lavenham. I’ve found that out through hours of research resulting in carpal tunnel. You end up needing to travel south back through London in order to get to other destinations. That’s not to say it can’t be done- but

You may have read (most likely didn’t, I have 2 followers) how I travelled to Cambridge, England from Vancouver, Canada during Covid. I’ve had better times in my life, but I was on a plane for the first time in 18 months so that must count for something. Accommodation I found my private accommodation through

Who does she think she is, travelling during a time of non-essential travel? Don’t get upset- I’m flying from Canada to the United Kingdom because of work. I’ve also had my first dose of the vaccine.

2020 was a doozy. I’m sure if we played the “my year was worse than yours” game, we’d all end up in a dark place, but at least we would be there together. If you, like me have; noticeably indented your parents’ couch, memorised each blade of grass from your house to the mailbox and

The route October 20-25: I’m not trying to be dramatic, but not being able to travel because of Covid makes me feel like a beached baby (I’m being generous) whale. Gaining 200 pounds each day, unable to properly breathe (seriously though, I have medical problems), and thrashing around not knowing what is left or what

You’ve goat to be kidding Me My Corona, when you gonna stop, give it up? I am clearly using old song lyrics to express my thoughts, it’s gotten bad. I am just so over COVID. Time and money always seem to be the big two reasons why people say they can’t travel. I find, to

A few posts back, I mentioned bits and bobs about moving from Amsterdam to Edinburgh. Upon further reflection (I have nothing else to do, thanks COVID), I realized what a massive dump life took on me when I moved. There are those times in my life when everything seems to flawlessly line up. Everything goes
