What is VegFest?
I started eeeking out dairy and animal by-products in January. Milk and yogurt were the first (and easiest) to go. Chocolate and cheese have been tough… especially when you’re on a lunch break and don’t want to spend £7 on an avocado wrap in Pret!!! Vegfest kept showing up on Facebook every year, but it wasn’t until now that I pulled my finger out to go enjoy vegan cheese (Gary??) aplenty… and just enjoy being able to eat everything on offer! Vegfest is one of Europe’s top vegan festivals, combining vegan food, education and entertainment, without any preaching… meaning you can happily take along your non vegan buddies/partners/crew. With tons and tons…

The stories behind the 2016 photos
I’ve taken so many trips in 2016, that I’ve actually lost count (sorry!). I clocked in 4 new countries, and a good few new cities and towns. This post is dedicated, not to the photos that got the most likes, but those that served as my best 2016 stories and memories… Edinburgh For a capital city, I always feel like my home town doesn’t have the same volume of cool new architecture that some bigger places have to offer. The structures around the newer parliament buildings are still up for debate, but I always think they look pretty cool. I also wrote my first post about the city this year, highlighting some…

Trust your gut whilst travelling
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, to date,…

10 things solo female travellers should know
I’ve done a fair bit of solo travelling, though I still remember getting on the plane the very first time and totally shitting 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…

7 Places that gave my Instagram account wanderlust
I confess, I’m an Instagram whore. I’m proud of my travels, and secretly love to make everyone a little envious (I’m a terrible terrible gloating human being). Here are some of my top spots for getting those perfect ‘wanderlust’ shots… (P.S .. go check out my shameless photo whoring at IG: sarahscotland) Huacachina Desert, sand dunes and sunset for miles. Huacachina is a tiny village in Peru, built around a small oasis surrounded by huge dunes. Climbing the dunes feels like you’re scaling a mountain, sand slipping under foot; but the sunset snaps at the top are completely worth the effort. Lopez Mendes Living in Asia, I thought I’d be pushed…
