January 30, 2023 by Claire Filed Under: Personal Leave a Comment

As we start a new year, I once again take time to reflect on the previous 12 months. Here is my review of 2022 when things finally start to return to normal

Hello and welcome to the post where I round up the previous year. It’s always fun to look back at how the year went and 2022 was an exciting year. After not travelling for over 2 years I was finally back on the road and I ended up taking more trips than expected thanks to […]

A Year in Review: A Look Back at 2021

January 5, 2022 by Claire Filed Under: Personal Leave a Comment

As we start a new year, I once again take time to reflect on the previous 12 months. Here is my review of 2021. Another strange year

Well let’s be honest, that was another very strange year we just had! Like last year I was debating whether or not to actually write this post but it’s become an annual thing I like doing. Yes, the year hasn’t been ideal. Far from it in fact! But it’s still enjoyable to look back at […]

Looking for some great travel books? Here are 40 awesome books I read in 2021 during my travels - perfection for travel inspiration

It’s that time of year again when I celebrate my love of reading by sharing the awesome books I’ve read in the last 12 months. Back in 2019 I realised that I was focusing so much on work and the blog that I wasn’t giving myself enough ‘me time’. Books have always been my favourite […]

That Time I Had A Sunny Christmas in Australia

December 17, 2021 by Claire Filed Under: Australia, Oceania, Personal 6 Comments

That time an English girl who used to a cold Christmas travelled to Sydney to experience a sunny Christmas in Australia

It seems like far too long since I did one of my ‘That Time That I…’ stories and with the holidays right around the corner I have the perfect festive story! Growing up in England I never really had a white Christmas but being in a colder country I was used to cold weather, images […]

The story of the time I got a Thai massage while in Bangkok. Thai Massages are hit or miss... here's why mine was a big miss!

Welcome to my new series ‘That Time I…’ where I share fun and/or crazy stories from the road. This week I want to share that time I got a Thai massage in Bangkok. Also known as ‘that time I got beat up by a tiny Thai lady’. I thought I was in for a lovely […]

Life Update: I’m Not OK And That’s OK To Admit

October 24, 2020 by Claire Filed Under: Personal 8 Comments

Life Update: 2020 has kicked my butt and I've not been doing ok as I've made out. But there's nothing wrong with admitting that so this is my confession

If you’re a regular reader of my blog or follow me on social media you will have no doubt noticed I haven’t been around much lately. I’m not a full time blogger so blogging isn’t something I NEED to do regularly. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love it which is why I’ve spent the […]

Why I Want to Return to Korea on a Non Business Trip

August 14, 2020 by Claire Filed Under: Asia, Personal, South Korea 16 Comments

Business trips aren't as great as they first seem. I loved being flown to Korea but I'm desperate to return to Korea on a non business trip so I can enjoy all the wonderful places in Korea

“A husband is a man who wishes he had as much fun when he goes on business trips as his wife thinks he does.” – Ann Landers   For years I’ve heard people say the same thing about business trips. Whether it’s people in real life or characters on TV shows, they all say the […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock these last few months, you have of course heard about the coronavirus that’s been making its way across the globe. While the virus may have started back in December 2019, news of the outbreak didn’t reach the world straight away. In fact, I was in Bali when I […]
