I seem to start every blog post I write about Byron Bay by mentioning how I lived in a tent there for five months, so if this is your first time here, hi my name’s Claire and I lived in a tent in Byron Bay for five months. Now that’s out the way, I thought […]
Are you seeking for a way to make your travels cheaper? Interested in cheap – or even free accomodation? Long term tent camping while travelling was my solution to saving money while living in Australia. I sacrificed on amenities like plug sockets and an attached bathroom – but I gained the freedom of being self-sufficient, […]
Byron, Byron, Byron…. Did I ever mention I’m in love with this place? From the nightly drum circle, to the views from the lighthouse, to the atmosphere at the Arts Factory hostel where I lived in a tent for 5 months – Byron Bay has a very special place in my heart. Eateries line the […]
Tucked away from the rest of Vietnam’s tourist trail, up some steep mountains and completely unlike the rest of Vietnam climatically is the beautiful Sapa area.

On the other, it’s suffocatingly touristy, can feel very inauthentic and has some real problems that are arguably worsened by mass tourism. Bali has spectacular sunsets and gorgeous views, but it […]
There’s nowhere quite like New York City. The heralded metropolis has been the subject of movies, songs, tv shows, dreams and conversations all over the globe. The city that never sleeps is famous for about a million reasons, and it really does live up to these expectations. But a complaint that travellers have time and […]
Bath is an iconic city bursting with British culture and history; somewhere that I was lucky to live in for a year. Although it’s beaten to the title of the cheapest city in Britain by pretty much everywhere other than London, it’s a delight to visit – the quaint architecture and complex stories over the […]
China: it’s a country of legend and enigma, brimming with possibly the most dynamic history of any country in the world.
