Things to do in Palolem Beach – The hip little town of Palolem sits in the South of Goa, a short sandy bay attracting backpackers, yogis and holiday-makers alike. A lot quieter than some of the popular Goa hotspots, Palolems white sands and chilled out evenings are the perfect place to wind down. Take a look at my favourite places to eat in Palolem, or scroll on to learn more about how to fill your days there … Head to Sundowner Bar for sunset On our first night in Palolem, the locals told us to head to Sundowner Bar for drinks and to watch the sunset.

How to get to Wailing Widow Falls, Loch na Gainmhich
The Wailing Widow Falls is a spectacular waterfall in the Scottish Highlands that can be viewed from both above and below. The 50ft falls spill out over the cliff from Loch na Gainmhich, crashing into a narrow canyon at the bottom. The Wailing Widow Waterfall was one of my ‘must see’ spots on our NC500 tour (check out my 4-day itinerary here). I came across it by chance whilst scrolling through Scottish Instagram feeds and chatting to photographers who’d already done the popular road trip. Big Waterfalls in Scotland There are loads of big waterfalls in Scotland, the highest waterfall in Scotland (and the UK) is actually located just a short…

NC500 Scotland 4 Day Itinerary
Whilst planning our NC500 Scotland 4 day itinerary, it was proving difficult to find a post that listed accommodation and the best things to see all in one place. There’s so much about the famous Scottish Highlands road trip to cover, and most websites involved a lot of scrolling and jumping from page to page. In this post, I’ve tried to break our NC 500 route down into days, whilst including the accommodation we used along the way. NC500 Scotland Route Planner So, the big question first, “Which way to go?” Although most people go West to East, we went East to West (starting in Inverness and working our way…

Vegan-friendly restaurants in Palolem
Vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Palolem are a dime a dozen, most focusing on a more Western palette with sushi bowls, breakfast pancakes, sandwiches and vegan sweet treats. The main strip directly behind the beach has lots of modern cafes and eateries perfect for vegan breakfast, lunch or dinner. I certainly didn’t get to try all of them, but here’s a quick run down of the vegan Palolem hotspots that I did manage to check out … Zest I’d been following these guys on Instagram for a good couple of months before I arrived in Palolem, so I was already quite clued up on their vegan offering when I finally…

Vagator’s vegan-friendly restaurants
Goa has a reputation for being really vegan-friendly, however, going vegan in Vagator is still somewhat challenging (due to India’s fondness of egg and gee/butter). With so few blogs touching specifically on vegan-friendly Vagator spots, I’ve pulled together a list of the reliable eateries that I came across during my short time there. Bean me up Bean Me Up is a vegan/ plant based dream. With its lush green plant canopy, spacious wooden tables, lounging chairs and twinkling nighttime fairy lights, expect to pay more than you would for a standard roadside establishment. For backpackers, this jungle paradise is a treat, whilst for short-term travelers, it’s still a lot cheaper…

Should you be using Canva for Pinterest to increase blog traffic?
Business owners plug hours and hours of promotional time into Facebook, Instagram and twitter. But, how many of you are capitalising on Pinterest to promote your online services? And more importantly, could Canva and Pinterest be used to help increase your blog traffic or business hits? Where is your blog/business traffic coming from? 35% of my traffic comes from Pinterest (second only to organic traffic from search engines).

Air France vegan meal review | Vegan Travels
Air France as upped it’s vegan food game significantly since I last travelled with them almost 2 years ago. In fact, the Air France vegan meal offering has improved so much that I’d rank it as one of my best vegan plane meals to date. However, the team at Air France HQ have still got some work to do. Despite the (mostly) pleasant experience on my outward flight, their website failed to save my meal selection on the way home, leaving me with no food for my 15 hour trip back. I’ll discuss this, alongside the other things to watch out for, in this post. You can also find my…
