I have been dying to write about this adventure since we planned it only 1 and a half weeks ago. Me and my good friend wanted to do something to celebrate completing our first exam at university, so we looked about going to Scotland for a few days, which was when someone mentioned "you should climb that mountain, Ben Nevis". Naturally we both thought this was a brilliant idea and got to work looking up how we could make it happen.

I'll be VERY honest with you. . and please don't hold it against me. I am definitely not a "Zen" kind of guy. I don't do yoga. I don't meditate. And I don't read the writings of monks and of ancient philosophers. There is no "ying" pulling at my "yang". I don't see dead people. .

Introduction You probably wouldn't consider Singapore the sort of place to go on a backpacking trip. It is a city of many modern technologies and in your head, isn't full of the excursions you come to associate with backpacking. This is a misconception that was created by the fact that Singapore is one of the easiest countries to travel to. But it is quite possible to plan a backpacking trip to Singapore so let's discuss in detail what you need to know before you go.

I had always hoped that life would be easy for me. In fact, most people think it is since my family is well off. But the truth is, even with access to all of their wealth, it does not make me happy. Being the heiress to a large conglomerate comes with its own sort of responsibilities which have left me feeling tired of the life I lead. More than anything, I want to experience what it is like to not have their wealth, their access to the world. And so, as a result of this desire, I set out on a journey on my own, with nothing but four thousand dollars and my car.

Before setting off on my bicycle tour around the world, I knew I wanted to go travelling. I didn’t really think about the method, I imagined I would just pack a backpack and catch a flight somewhere. The rest would figure itself out along the way. I had done small trips before my grand idea; six weeks in Kenya & Tanzania, three weeks in Thailand and city-hopping in Europe. Despite the amazing memories, I did remember the 13-hour bus rides along bumpy roads, whizzing past small towns & villages to get to the cities or the next tourist destination.

Almost everyone can agree that dating apps are superficial, but what happens when that superficial feeling becomes something real?

"I won't lie, I was a bit skeptical just by watching the trailer at first. I could tell it would be very Paris, put another way, very cliché."

Machu Pichu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World (1), is the top priority to see in Latin America. Two Inca ruins in Peru are on the World Natural and Cultural Heritage List.

The day we wake up, is the day we realise our souls have been guiding our journey with such grace and art that it takes a few breaths to sink it in. Whispering to us our entire lives, waiting for us to be ready to listen, becoming louder as we do. Preparing us to embrace who we are and live in alignment with It. My body is the canvas my soul chose to create the roadmap that led me to her. To me. One and the same.

When you think of the Northern Territory, Australia… Do you think of red dirt, crocodiles, and flies? If you answered yes to the above, I can’t blame you. I thought the same for the first half of my career in travel before I had the opportunity to explore the hidden jewels of outback Australia.

“No Photography” the lady at the desk advises. I look down at my phone then over at the cluttered, dusty entrance and debate returning to the warming autumnal sunshine where my dad and dog are enjoying the view of the calm harbour from the café next door.

I have been feeling bored lately. And I have discovered that sitting around all day isn’t easy. Even the television seems to have been taken hostage by a virus, but this one is made up of political mumbo-jumbo that is as unpleasant as long nails raking across a chalkboard. Because I live in in Las Vegas, however, I have options. So, today, I will choose to take a drive downtown. As many of us have discovered experiencing the pandemic from our couches has been a touch unnerving these days, and there are times that one must roll the dice so-to-speak. So, I mask up, make sure I bring hand sanitizer and a little cash, and head to one of the places I enjoy best. First, let me tell you, I am head over heels in love with my town. I still awe at the tacky décor and the glow of each light bulb. The sights, the sounds, and the smell…

When I travel, my itinerary generally looks something like: 1. Figure out what the destination is 2. Find the local watering hole

Looking back at the cultures of ancient Egypt, one can’t help but notice the myths and legends surrounding the once great civilization. Egypt is well known for the pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, mummification, and hieroglyphs, but little is known of the accomplishments they made and the complexity of their societies. Their culture made significant advancements in neuroscience, medicine, and architecture. Advancements that many would say were beyond their time. I will attempt to shed light on a couple different viewpoints or claims that have been made in order to find the truth and hopefully put an end to any falsehoods. This paper will serve to delve deeper into Egypt’s history, not only from a mainstream Egyptologist’s perspective, but also from the perspective of multiple independent researchers and historians.

Topless ladies in Rocky Mountain National Park. Dudes with their asses out at the Half Dome. Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?

The London Underground has served Londoners since 1863. Since its opening, up to 2 million people ride the tubes every single day on their daily commute. It is no secret that it has become part of London’s identity and an invaluable part of its people’s daily lives. I personally use the Underground at least 10 times per week for various journeys around the Capital and with the joys of the 16-25 Railcard, it becomes the cheapest method of transport in London by far, even beating the London Bus in price and speed, but I think I will save that for another post.

Lately, I've been taking time each day to count my blessings. Not only do I have an amazing support network of family and friends, but I have been blessed with this opportunity to live and study so far from home – especially during a global pandemic. Each day in London is beautiful in a new way – even when I don't leave my room for more than a half hour walk. Being here and spending so much time reading and writing truly makes me feel happy.

1. Cheapest way to travel from Thailand to Cambodia Train from central Bangkok train station Hua Lamphong to Aranyaprathet, this train journey is roughly 5/6 hours and costs around $1 or 40 Baht. This is bar far the cheapest way I've found to get to Cambodia from Thailand. The train will take you directly to the boarder where you can go and get a visa on arrival. This boarder crossing has a lot of scams to be aware of, however. There will be lovely ladies selling prepared rich dishes and pre-cut mangos for a very low cost walking throughout the journey, so don't worry if you forget to pack snacks or water.

I traveled alone for the first time as a 17-year old. I didn't have a boyfriend waiting at home for me, and I didn't have a contingency plan in case everything went wrong. I guess I would have flown back home, but thankfully, it never came to that.

I can not tell you how excited I was to experience a desert safari in Dubai. All my friends who have been to Dubai are talking about this - it's important to let me know, especially for people who like to explore new sciences. Obviously, my expectations were sky high. I already know what to wear, what photo to take, what to do. But, it all went out the window, the moment I met him in the desert.

While Sri Lanka is commonly known for its golden sandy beaches surrounding the island there is a gem of a creation that is reaped from the hill country of the little island.

As I sit here, drinking yet another cup of coffee, I can’t help but to think about all of the people who have asked about the RV and what it’s like living in it. If it’s easier, cheaper and what the pros and cons are. Who and what do I listen to heading down the road.

Once upon a time I lived in a big house. Actually, I've lived in a few big houses. My wife and I didn't start off living in a big house, we worked our way to one.

This story is based on a vacation long-past, before the virus made travel frightening. It is a map of the unappreciated parts of gritty San Francisco, for those who are willing to look.

Chris and I spent Saturday afternoon painting the walls at the back of our house. The old red brick now brightened up with the Alpine Blue masonry paint which took five weeks to travel from Darwen to Altrincham and finally to us. We're getting lots of jobs done during the lockdown, jobs which might have still been ideas if we weren't restricted to internet shopping and staying at home. I've never seen the cutlery drawers so neat before.

Seeing as how my most recent, and only two posts on driving were either a long list of random advice or a short run collection of brief anecdotes, I figured why not have a mashup of sorts? Without further delay:

If you stay in China long enough, you will undoubtedly develop a serious, and often debilitating, addiction. You will find that not only can you not start your mornings without a quick fix, but also cannot function for most of the day without it. Wandering aimlessly through dark alleyways like a dirty ragamuffin, you seek out the seedy dealers who sit with countless tins of their product, hawking multiple varieties and strengths, depending on your need. For me, it was the Oolong that satisfied my evil desire and stopped my withdrawal pains. For others, only straight green would do. Like so many others before and after, I had become a tea addict.

The thing about the Maldives is that although it may seem like there’s nothing much to do on the islands but lounge on the beach for days on end this is not the case.
