Brilliant bookstores and lovely libraries
Reading is magic. I particularly enjoy channelling my inner Gandolf by surrounding myself with stacks of books and old parchment paper. Although right now I’ll have to settle for my own bookshelf and crumpled newspaper that will eventually be used for the cat litter box. LIVIN LA VIDA LOCA. Especially right now during Covid when…

How to volunteer remotely during a pandemic
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 parent’s couch, memorised each blade of grass from your house to the mailbox and…

Why you should travel for yourself and not the gram
I’ve got my rant pants on again; they’re pulled up tight and I basically can’t move out of this straight jacket of fury that I have created for myself. Here’s why. When I travel, I am doing it for me and only me. I am not doing it so I can take a picture to…

Scam, Bam, Thank You Ma’am!
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…

The Progression of Travel
It started out as me needing to be back in Europe. After a fantastic, HAlarious (this is how I used to think the word was spelt) time on my trip to Spain with my high school Spanish class in 2006, I was greedy for more. My first trip abroad without the folks or teachers was to Greece at 18 with my bestie.…

Money, Money Must Be Funny
Being so frugal for all of my life, you’d think I would have all the answers about money when travelling. The truth is, you would be absolutely right, you sexy genius. I said I was frugal, not modest. Jokes. I don’t have all the answers, I have what I do most of the time when…

Yoga in the Dam
I have been going to various yoga studios around where I live in order to take advantage of the trial week offers that they have. All the classes were taught in English. The majority of them I had to book online beforehand since some classes fill up quickly (depending on the size of the studio).…

Phuket All
Phuket Airport is in the North of Phuket peninsula, which is mildly inconvenient if your hostel is in Kata like mine was. The same goes if you stay in Pah Tong or Karon. I read online that you could take a taxi for 800 baht (including a 100 baht airport tax), which takes about an…

Before You Go Go
No one ever asks me what I pack when I go travelling, which is rude but probably a good call. Once, I told my friend that she should pack, and then bring half of what she was planning to bring. I think I read this advice on a tea bag label or something. Turns out,…

Massage, Thai Massage
I used to have a tan but then I got a Thai massage so now it’s gone. I’m the gluten-free, lactose-intolerant gem of the massage world. I hate to be that person but I’ve had some injuries so my body is fragile. If I ever get a massage for Christmas, I go to a massage…
