The ultimate guide for independent travellers seeking inspiration, advice and adventures beyond their wildest dreams

Over the years, the majority of my travel has been done solo. When I first started my travelling adventures, I was 19 and thought my iPhone 4 was the height of photography. Grainy selfies and crappy snaps taken by other travellers did me just fine. However, as I started to travel more and as I […]

The last time I sat down and actually wrote down my bucket list, it was 2017! Two years later and I have actually managed to tick off quite a few more of these items, and added even more things to the list, because of course I have! So, here is an updated bucket list with […]

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.
