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 Six ~ Thursday 19th January

A few people have been ill already, luckily not me! Lauren (education leader) was ill with tonsilitus so couldn't come with us to the village. Other people have developed tropical ulcers from mosquitoes bites, after being in the warm sea containing bacteria. Lovely. Can't believe how amazing it is here though, it's exactly like the paradise you see on a postcard. Yellow sand, crystal blue water, blue sky, literally perfection. Our turn to make breakfast today so I got up at 5.45 to make porridge and toast with tomatoes. As soon as I entered the kitchen I saw a mouse scurry into a hole in the wall and Angela felt a rat across her foot!! It was dark so we had to use torches to fry toast. We went back to the village we went to on Tuesday ~ Makavakalevu or something and sat by the sea again, painting shells and playing 'Paraball' with the parachute. We blew up some balloons for them and wrote their names on them, played snakes and ladders and volleyball. Well I sat and watched the volleyball in the shade while the little ones clambered over me. We had leftover dahl baht from yesterday which was warmed up for us, is was delicious and is exactly what is eaten in Nepal. The education leader, Jackie, spent 3 months volunteering in Nepal, Tibet and India and when in Nepal she helped at an orphanage in Pokhara, what a coincidence! We got back and could be lazy, in true Fijian style ~ swimming and lying by the palm trees, we can even buy beer for $3. We were sat relaxing and suddenly the base kids came running up with homemade pea shooters, made with seeds from the trees and began firing them at us! Last night we watched a film on a projector called The Guard.
