    Backpack relationships

    25/06/2017

    Holiday relationships. So many of us have had them, right? But does the significance of them change when the holiday isn’t a holiday, but a backpack trip? I wrote this post a day before learning that a man with whom I’d had a very short backpack ‘fling’ had died, only a few days before. After returning from the trip on which I met him, we kept in touch for over a year. This June he was supposed to visit me as an add on to a family trip. A month before, he cancelled. Turns out, he knew about his illness but was too stubborn to tell anyone. I dedicate this…

    “I’m thinking about quitting my job and doing some solo travel by myself, can you help me?” I wish I had a pound for every time a newbie solo traveller said this to me! Travelling by yourself for the first time is terrifying. I remember sitting on the plane thinking, “God, what am I doing?”, frantically trying to identify people that could be my potential new friend as we landed. The key to getting rid of your nerves (or at least calming them), is to plan. These are my top solo travel tips, to help you feel less stressed when travelling alone … Your first solo travel destination is important I…

    OK, before I start … DISCLAIMER: This is not a huge prompt for you to go running off into the Brazilian favelas because you think it’ll make for a good story if you come out unscathed. There’s a big difference between trusting your gut and avoiding something because it’s been confirmed unsafe! There’s been a large number of occasions where I’ve been somewhere where an opportunity has presented itself and I’ve thought, “I’m in an unfamiliar place. Is this safe”? I touch on this during my posts about picking up hitchhikers. My gut instinct really paid off in Cambodia. I couldn’t have bought this experience it gave me and (to…

    10 things solo female travellers should know

    20/11/2016

    I’ve done a fair bit of solo travelling, though I still remember getting on the plane the very first time and totally sh**ting my pants (pardon my French). As females, announcing we’re going off jetting solo is often met with well meaning (but annoying) concerns for safety. I can’t recall a time I’ve ever heard someone voice the same degree of concern for any male friend that went travelling alone. I realise that, as a female, there are times/places where (due to my sex) I may be deemed more vulnerable. That being said, there’s a lot of scaremongering going on. As a result, I’ve seen these voiced concerns create doubt…

Ive seriously taken to wandering down backstreets just to find something I might not have seen before in my 5 mile Edinburgh radius. 
I'd love to meet all the people who live in these quirky little hidden houses. In the meantime, make up a story for me ?

Matchy matchy. The sands mirrored our sky!
Despite best efforts, finding somewhere in my 'zone' to walk (that I haven't already been to) is getting pretty tough. However, I always love the 9k loop from South Queensferry to Barnbougle Castle and back that @laurenbu85 and I took at the weekend.

Churches – A tourism must, or just boring?
St. Gil

Churches - A tourism must, or just boring?
St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh saw its first stones laid in 1142 - AND, it's technically not really a cathedral! 
A church becomes a cathedral when it’s the seat of a bishop. The High Kirk was a proper cathedral during two short periods of its history. It hasn’t had a bishop sit in the church since 1680!

@30yroldrunaway - I miss you already. 
For all our jokes of "heterosexual life partners", I can't imagine the rest of my life traveling the world without you. 
I hope you're waiting for me on the other side in Railay. 😔♥️ My soul is broken - I love you.

I couldn't think of a better place to tag than the Dewar's Aberfeldy Whisky Distillery. Their team have been so lovely to me for years & their whisky tour is my favourite to date (who remembers the secret room that @whisky.gary showed us?).

Whilst running around White Horse Close with my camera, an older gent named Gordon started talking me about how it used to be Edinburgh's main trader tavern. How do I know his name was Gordon? You ask. He told me! He also brought out his old sketches of the close and told me a load of tales about Edinburgh prostitutes.
Am I the only one this ALWAYS happens to? I love a chat with an older local.
