When I was eight I moved to Nepal in January 2002. I have since been to Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, India, Laos, Greece, Slovenia, Russia, Cyprus, France, Scotland, Morocco and Switzerland. I have driven through many more countries while travelling in Europe.

I love to travel and writing diaries about my travel experiences to inspire people to go travelling themselves. Travelling is such a worthwhile adventure and I would definitely say travel broadens the mind!

I will be blogging about a few of my experiences whilst abroad as I have recently found some old diaries. These are very old and were written from 2004 onwards (I was 11!) therefore the language is very mature.. not! But I hope you will enjoy them and find them humourous (as I have!)

In January 2012 I will be jetting off to the exotic islands of Fiji in the South Pacific, to volunteer as a teacher for three months. I am extremely excited but also quite anxious to be flying on my own but I can't wait! I shall be using this blog to write about my journey and all my adventures when I get there. Through writing about my experiences, I hope to inspire others, especially teenagers to get out there, explore and discover. There's life outside the UK and Europe!
See my blog archives to read more :)




Just a note to say that annoyingly with Blogger you have to begin from the bottom and read up!

I haven't worked out how to change this yet so that the oldest posts are at the top and readers would read in order to read the most recent post at the bottom.

So you don't get confused please visit the blog archive which begins at 2011 and goes down to 2013 so that you can read my blog in order.

Hope this makes sense, thanks :)

Day Two ~ Sunday 15th January

Bula! ~ Hello!

Planned the holiday school today and decided to take face paint, coloured card, tissue paper and glitter. Couldn't sleep at all for the first night, due to the huge amount of mosquitoes and the heat, although my bed is next to the window. My mosquito net is far too small so I got slightly eaten alive. The dorms are very basic. I share with ten other volunteers with two shared showers and toilets. Luckily, we have one solar light but sometimes it doesn't work and the water can be off for a day. Later in the evening, the generator broke and there was no water for showers or washing. The other dorm found a Huntsman spider, the size of a dinner plate ~ thank god it wasn't in ours! Had curry and rice for dinner, yum! The base is in an amazing location by the sea, it has a well and a shared kitchen. We have cooking teams and shared chores ~ mine is compost and recycling! There's two dogs on base, Matty and Junior and they belong to the three in-house families. There are so many adorable kids running round, impossible to remember names!

Matty?
