    Other Travellers Stress Me Out!

    June 5, 2013 /

      Do you ever find yourself playing the competition game with other travellers? You know the one I’m talking about. Who has been to most remote place, spent the least on gelato, went on the least amount of sleep, who has eaten the grossest thing? Does this ring a bell? We’re all guilty of it on some level. We get proud of our accomplishments and like to compare notes with others to see who is doing it the ‘right’ way and get pleasure from knowing you’re superior in some way to someone else. It’s douchey and pointless but in a lot of ways it’s also fun. Except it really stresses…

    Five Favourite Things to Do at the Airport

    May 29, 2013 /

      Travellers spend a lot of time at airports and it’s quite easy to get bored during those long stints when you’re waiting for your flight. For some people this is the worst part of the whole trip, the waiting game, but for others it’s a necessary evil. Keep in mind, there’s generally nothing that can be done about waiting at the airport, especially if there’s a delay, so you might as well make the most of your time! Here’s a list of the best things to do when you find yourself in an airport for a few hours, be it because you got there too soon or your flight…

    Yes, a Girl Can Have Fun on the Cheap in Magaluf

    May 26, 2013 /

    Magaluf is an exciting and dynamic vacation spot with fine restaurants, amazing nightclubs and stunning marinas. Of course, all of these things mean that Magaluf can be a very pricey place to visit. Many women may cross Majorca off their destination list if they are a little short on funds, but they shouldn’t, as there are ways to have cheap holidays to Magaluf. Perhaps the most obvious of cheap places to be is the beach. With a towel, some water and a good book, all women can enjoy the sun and atmosphere that Magaluf has to offer while not spending anything at all. The beach is also a great place to…

    When Tour Groups Make Sense

    May 22, 2013 /

      There are very few instances where I will take a tour group ahead of setting out on my own. This isn’t to say tours are necessarily bad or that nobody should ever take one, but more so that they just aren’t for me. I like to walk to the beat of my own drum and see what the world has in store around the routes less travelled – you don’t often get that in a tour group. With this in mind though, there are a lot of instances where a tour group makes a lot of sense for a particular demographic or for a specific type of traveller. Tour…

    Why I Am Sick of Taking Pictures

    May 15, 2013 /

      Photography and travel seem to go hand in hand. Part of the fun of seeing something new is capturing it to remember for later or brag to others, even if you aren’t the first person to show to see it. You have to wonder what it was like for the very first person who took a camera on vacation that was capable of taking quick pictures, knowing that they were going to show their friends and family these amazing things for the first time. Sadly, we are long past that point. I’m guilty of taking a lot of pictures when I go travelling because, uh, there are a lot…
