Escape to Mexico: Part 1- The Curse to be Lifted
Mexico, as moulded by the culture of the West, is often symbolic of one thing in so many of our minds. Escape. Freedom. The throwaway line or plot point in many an American movie. The protagonists trying to escape their fate hope to cross the border, leave for Mexico. My case was different. I was a whole ocean away, in the UK. The decisions that led us to choose Mexico were actually very specific. Like my previous travel adventures in Rhodes, I was embarking on my first holiday with another dear friend who I shall refer to as L.

Surprise Thanksgiving
I don’t know if this is my best trip ever, but it is definitely up there in my top ten list. And while it was a very short trip, I did luckily remember to take a few photos. The trip in question took place last year on Thanksgiving.

The Midnight Madness. Content Warning.
Amidst the quiet hum of the small town of Willow Creek, nestled beneath a canopy of ancient trees, there stood a carnival—an ephemeral spectacle that materialized only under the veil of night. Within its labyrinthine confines, where the scent of cotton candy mingled with the faint whispers of the wind, there lay a sinister secret—a ghost train that traversed the darkness, its passengers destined for a journey beyond the realms of the living.

Italy: My Solo Adventure In Florence
Italy had been on my list forever. It was like that crush you can’t help but daydream about. So, last year in May, I finally decided that it was time to turn those daydreams into reality and I booked my first solo trip to Italy. There were going to be a lot of firsts including this one being my first time to a new country altogether by myself. I had already booked my tickets to Milan while I was on a trip to Wales during Easter. So, that meant that I couldn’t back out now. I wasn’t going to anyway because I was too excited to go there!

Christiania: City Within a City
Nestled in the center of Denmark, surrounded by an old brick wall covered in graffiti, is the free-town of Christiania. I was fascinated with its history- created in the 1970’s when a group of anarchists, artists, and hippies took over an old military base and proclaimed it separate from Denmark. With blatant disregard for Danish marijuana laws and building codes, it remains it's own thing to this day. I had to see Christiania for myself, so I went in the dead of winter, and walked all 85-acres of the walled city within the city. I’ll tell you the ins-and-outs of this little Freetown and the best place to grab some grub.

The Travels Begin
For those of you following my journey, it’s certainly starting to come to fruition. For those that don’t know, I made the decision some months ago to become a ‘not grey’ nomad and hit the road. Although I’ll still be working full-time, I’ll be exploring the beautiful Australian countryside.

Part 4 : Wasps and Jetskis
The next day was one for recovery and chill after having been out all of the previous one. The beach was calling after another delicious and satisfying hotel breakfast. The respite of relaxation and the need to recharge was definitely felt. It went similarly to our first day but with one main triumph and a recommendation to the reader.

Part 3: A Lost City, Cross on a Mountain and the James Bond of Bagpipes
We woke up slightly hungover and certainly dehydrated. Not a great start to a long day out but breakfast did revive us somewhat. Waiting out front for the coach, as seemed a common and welcome theme by now, I was greeted by an affection craving black cat with little white paws and a crooked ear. He jumped gingerly into my lap and his scrawny rear end rose high with every stroke. T dubbed him “Cotton Socks”, which suited him handsomely. He would be there to escort us to the shop upon our return, as any gentlecat might assume was his duty, though wouldn’t be as helpful as he thought considering we had to avoid stepping on him multiple times.
