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 Three ~ Monday 16th January

Sega na Lega ~ No Worries (this will become a tattoo!)

Another night of not so great sleep and had to get up early to go to summer school in a village on another island, one GVI had not yet been to. It took about ten minutes to get there by boat, then we walked to the village hall to meet the chiefs and say 'bula!' We had to wear our sulus (sarongs) and GVI tops. All the kids came and shook our hands individually and then sang a Fijian song which was really sweet. We then went to the school and started setting up and suddenly loads of kids appeared from nowhere. Me, Emily and Nat were in charge of facepainting and head-bands and the other group did masks and drawing. I have never done so much face-painting on so many sweaty faces! Loads of kids were running around with bunny ears and whiskers.. so cute! We then put some pop music on which I hadn't heard in ages, was weird to hear in such a contrasting location. We had lunch and then had to say goodbye! All the kids cling on and its hard to go. We had to jump off the boat back at base and got soaked, such an unusual way to get to work every day. We had ages when we got back so we made lots of crowns and masks for tomorrow. The cooking team made noodles and veg, delicious!
