Paddington station greeted me with chaos and stressed out families. It was 10.30 on a Monday morning, so the commuter rush had finished but in its place remained those traveling, but not starting their relaxation until after their awaited train journeys – and not a minute sooner it seemed. Dogs walked through the station loyally … More Off to Wales
England was a change of pace from Bangkok, with ideal weather for me, contrary to popular opinion – although this week has been very unlike England’s usual weather. One week in and finally my body has figured out what time it is, no longer waking me up before 6am no matter how late I’d gone … More Sunny England
The reality of traveling in Asia came rushing back to me as soon as I arrived. Just stepping off the plane I walked into a wall of heat, with the humidity strong enough to make the air thick and heavy. Once I got to the hostel I quickly discovered the lack of air conditioning in … More Two Days in Bangkok
Well, it’s been a while since I last posted. But I’m travelling again and thought I should also write again, having heard from so many of you that you loved reading about my adventures. So, here we go again, with a brief summary of what’s happened and what’s to come. Whistler was my home for … More Here We Go Again
I’m approaching the three month mark of living in Whistler and having somewhere to call home. I was unsure how I would feel about no longer traveling with no new places to explore every day, a new culture to experience and an abundance of food to test. Instead I find myself with a 15 minute … More A Winter Wonderland to Call Home
I somehow find myself at the end of part 1 of my adventure. Nine months, mostly solo, through Southern Africa, Iceland and parts of South America. I gave up my life in Sydney in order to achieve my dream this year – half of my life savings; a safe, stable job where I was happy … More Nine Months of Traveling Finished Already
My tour of Salar de Uyuni finished up in San Pedro de Atacama, a small desert town in the north of Chile. With the altitude of the salt flats having an adverse effect on my cold I opted to find another doctor and was able to receive more medication which would hopefully help me recover. … More Three Months in South America Wrapped Up in San Pedro de Atacama
I concluded my night bus to Uyuni with a nap on the couch of my new hostel having arrived at 4am. Uyuni turned out to be a very small, simple town. Most tourists go straight from the night bus to their tour of the salt flats, choosing not to stay due to the limited offerings … More Uyuni and the Salt Flats
I had six days in Cochabamba most of which I spent getting to know the hostel quite well as I stayed in bed and occasionally moved to the outdoor lounges for some sun. We did venture out to take the cable car up to the Jesus statue, something that seems to be in every big … More Resting in Cochabamba and Almost Recovering in Sucre
After what was probably the quickest and easiest border crossing I’ve done on this trip we arrived in Copacabana, a town similar to Puno only far more touristy and therefore benefiting from the money that brings in. With beautiful blue sky the town looked even more spectacular, with colourful buildings and houses adding an element … More Crossing Into Bolivia
