The ultimate guide for independent travellers seeking inspiration, advice and adventures beyond their wildest dreams
Well. This is by far the longest time I’ve ever gone between posts. I just… lost my motivation. 2020 started out as a normal year for me, but when my life rapidly changed and so many new restrictions were imposed, the life that I had spent so long creating just seemed to fall apart. Now, […]

Can somebody please take a moment and explain to me how on earth this decade has already been and gone? I can’t believe that it is already 2020!

Yep, it’s that time again! Lord only knows how, but another year has disappeared before my very eyes. 2019 has been an undeniably tumultuous year for me.

Well, its not exactly travel related, but it’s Elle related, so I figured that it was okay to write about my experience with reconstructive plastic surgery on this blog. Basically, this post is going to be a collection of small diary entries from three weeks before my first surgery until I am six weeks post […]

By the time this post goes live, we will already be one week into the new year, and for the first time in a long time, I move forward into this new year with very few definite trips planned, and with the strong likelihood that I will be going on significantly fewer adventures in 2019. […]

Gosh, it seems like just yesterday that I was celebrating the start of a brand new year while drinking alcohol free bubbles and eating far too much cheese on a night shift! I don’t know how, but the years just keep going more and more quickly. 2018 has truly gone in what feels like the […]
