Time to address the elephant in the room…

Posted on January 1, 2021January 1, 2021 by Ramblings

I have not posted anything on this log for little under a year. That’s right in 2020 I have not updated my travel blog.

Stomp stomp stomp here comes the elephant.

A travel blog, or indeed travel at all has been somewhat impeded by Miss Rona over the previous months….

My experience volunteering with La Esperanza Granada

Posted on September 18, 2019November 23, 2019 by Ramblings

In the summer of 2017 I took the plunge and decided to move to Nicaragua… a country I knew nothing about….in a continent I had never been…. Alone. Brave! Without doubt. Crazy? Maybe. But it was the best decision of my life.

Our Sense of self and Quarantine: Life Lessons Series

Posted on January 17, 2021January 17, 2021 by Ramblings

Once again we are stuck inside. As the UK enters even stricter restrictions it feels tempting to grow your hair out long and feel the full Rapunzel fantasy as we sit locked in our towers. However, it’s not all negative…

Gratitude, Bigmouth and Covid-19: The Quarantine Life Lessons Series

Posted on January 9, 2021January 9, 2021 by Ramblings

Gratitude can feel like a bit of a dirty word. It feels like one of those words that people have painted on the wall or a buzzword that yoga teachers preach about whilst in the middle of savasana*. And most of all, in our lowest moments, the idea of gratitude can feel ineffective.

Body Confidence and Backpacking

Posted on January 7, 2020January 9, 2021 by Ramblings

I feel like every woman has a bit of a complicated relationship with their body. From a young age it feels like everyone around us is telling us how to feel about our own bodies.
We are told that in nearly every way possible that our body is wrong…..

Female solo travel in Central America

Posted on December 29, 2019January 9, 2021 by Ramblings

Solo female travel has always been slightly taboo.
And Latin America has always stuck out to me as one of those place you just don’t go alone as a woman. I remember being 18 and I was thinking about travelling to Latin America so I asked a friend who had recently come back from South America. He said to me, explicitly, Latin America is not a place for a woman alone. That well and truly threw a big old bucket of water over the fire that was a dream trip to Peru for a while.
Fast forward a couple of years and there I was living in Nicaragua alone working with a charity after well and truly saying fuck it, I’m not going to wait for someone to do this with me, I’m doing it, even if it means I’m going at it alone!

How to Workaway like a pro

Posted on December 19, 2019January 9, 2021 by Ramblings

Workaway works on the simple premise; “will work for food and shelter”… The twist is this work is not zzzz yawn worthy. You can work doing whatever! For example, I have used workaway to work on a llama farm in Yorkshire, a yoga retreat in Andalucia, teach children in the barrios of Nicaragua and work as a bartender/tour guide in a hostel in Guatemala. The possibilities are literally endless.

Why I love solo travel

Posted on November 28, 2019January 9, 2021 by Ramblings

Solo travel was something for me that started as a necessity, but has changed my life forever.
Previous to this point I had never actually wanted to backpack alone, it always seemed super lonely, and to be honest a bit sad.
However, I reached the point where I realized I could spend my life waiting for someone to join me or I could brave it alone and actually achieve my goals.

Nicaragua- the most environmentally friendly country to travel to?

Posted on November 21, 2019January 9, 2021 by Ramblings

It is often said necessity breeds innovation, and this is no truer than in Nicaragua. Statistically Nicaragua is the poorest country in Latin America and the second poorest in the entire Western Hemisphere. Nicaragua, could like other developing countries, throw environmental concerns to the wayside and focus purely on economic improvement but they don’t. Why? Because like most other countries affected frequently by natural disasters our global environmental crisis impacts on a completely different level.

The 10 Hostel Commandments…

Posted on October 21, 2019January 9, 2021 by Ramblings

I absolutely loved travelling in hostels and would recommend it to anyone. It’s a great place to meet people, to hear incredible stories, and lets be frank… meet some of the weirdest people you’ve ever met in your life… However there is a dark side… badly behaved guests!
