London on a Budget
The cost of living crisis has hit everyone hard (what kind of world are we living in when McDonald's has put the price of cheeseburgers up by 20p?!), and many people now need to factor that into their travel plans. For me, that means I'm trying to go to all the places I want to visit in my own country of Britain. The most recent city break I had was to the capital London. And although travel costs were reduced for me, it is of course still a very expensive city. However, if you're careful, you can have a great time on a budget. I've tried to break some of this down. And even folks from abroad who have made it to the capital but are still concerned about costs may find some of this advice useful.

Top Places I Keep Returning To (2022 Edition)
As travellers we are obsessed with the idea of ‘new’. We visit those new towns or counties, have an amazing time, and refuse to return because there's so much else to do and see out there. Our bucket list gets longer over time even though we keep ticking them off! This… Need… to find new things or places is not bad, in fact, it was the original reason we started travelling in the first place. It makes sense that we’re in a constant search for new experiences but lately, this has got me thinking, there’s so much to be said about returning to the familiar.
Harley LeonPublished 2 years ago in WanderKnow What You Eat: My Take on Food Philosophy
There’s something about good food that holds the potential to influence a person’s mood, albeit for the shortest period of time. But cooking ain’t everyone’s cup of tea, is it? Whereas eating sure is, more so because food is one of the fundamentals of life. Lately, I’ve been wondering and reading up a lot about the latest food trends and that’s when I stumbled upon the various food philosophies. So, what’s a food philosophy? It’s a personal outlook about food or a set of guiding principles about how, what and when you should consume food. Here is a 2-minute read that will give you a glimpse into what I personally think about food and habits.

Ryan TouchPublished 2 years ago in WanderWhat I learned From Travelling This Year
There’s so much to travelling that no books in the world can teach you. And that’s exactly why I quit my nine-to-five job at 35 and followed my heart around the world—to places near and far to sate my wanderlust. I realised home isn’t one single place or person, but many. I’ve been writing loads of articles about the places and people I met. But this one’s a bit different, more like a monologous narrative of my growth as a traveller and a person. I welcomed this new year aboard one of the New Year’s Eve cruises on Sydney Harbour. I had tagged along with my friends from work to blow off some year-end steam and ah…’twas a dream night to cherish an entire lifetime. It was never on my itinerary to get aboard a cruise but there I was, drinking and dancing away like a 23-year old. The Sydney NYE cruises were never on my list, but I had the best time with my colleagues. And that’s the first of the few things I wish to discuss today.
