UNIQUE BRIGHTON | WEEKEND WANDERING

Brighton is a city on the southern coast of England, with a bohemian charm and heaps of character. It's home to two Universities, one pier (the other one burned down) and one incredibly unique, Royal Pavillion.  https://www.instagram.com/p/0CsjpxNbvG/?taken-by=abipageaustin   I lived in Brighton for about 4 years and loved it. I went to Sussex University, which is … Continue reading UNIQUE BRIGHTON | WEEKEND WANDERING

TORONTO | THE BREAK UP VLOG | USA/CANADIAN ROAD TRIP

Happy Valentines Day! In response to my lack of love for this day, here is a video where my friends and I "break up".  Our last two days in Toronto were amazing. They were rainy and we did A LOT of walking, but they were our last two days together as a group on this … Continue reading TORONTO | THE BREAK UP VLOG | USA/CANADIAN ROAD TRIP

TATE MODERN | WEEKEND WANDERING

I've been to the Tate Modern a bunch of times. Once, I even had the joy of almost getting stuck in a stairwell there - it was 5 minutes before closing time. The lifts were super busy. We decided to walk down around 14 flights of stairs and when we got to the bottom, the … Continue reading TATE MODERN | WEEKEND WANDERING

A RAINY WEEKEND | THE LAKE DISTRICT | WEEKEND WANDERING

The Lake District is a gorgeous National Park in Northwestern England, home to (surprise surprise) beautiful lakes, lovely walks and plenty of activities for the whole family. I'd never stayed their before this trip and was very excited to experience all of these things. August is a great time to go to the Lake District, … Continue reading A RAINY WEEKEND | THE LAKE DISTRICT | WEEKEND WANDERING

TATE BRITAIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

I'm definitely one to struggle with wanderlust, but more recently I've made the effort to remind myself that you don't have to go far to find something new. I won't say it's a resolution to do this because they aren't really my thing, instead I'm thinking of it as more of a conscious effort that I … Continue reading TATE BRITAIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

VANCOUVER ISLAND | PLANES AND WHALES | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

That's right. Canadian Road Trip TWENTY SIXTEEN. Sorry to have ever so slightly dropped off the edge of the earth. Sadly I don't have any kind of wilderness survival story that stopped me from writing; I haven't trekked through the Himalayas or canoed down the Amazon. Instead, I got a new job. A job where I … Continue reading VANCOUVER ISLAND | PLANES AND WHALES | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

A DAY IN SEATTLE | RUNNING AROUND IN DRESSING GOWNS | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

MOTIF SEATTLE After a long, dark bus ride involving a super fun stop off at the US border (my fourth of this trip), we made it to Seattle safe and sound where we jumped in a cab for the short journey to our hotel. We stayed at the Motif Seattle, which now has to be … Continue reading A DAY IN SEATTLE | RUNNING AROUND IN DRESSING GOWNS | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

VANCOUVER DAY 1 | + SEATTLE(?!) | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

Looking back it's crazy how much you can fit in during a day whilst traveling. All day at a desk plus a few things after work every now and again is so far from that, I almost can't believe it. This makes it all the more lovely to look back and see how much we managed … Continue reading VANCOUVER DAY 1 | + SEATTLE(?!) | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

KAMLOOPS TO VANCOUVER | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

This was very much an exciting day; our last one on the Rocky Mountaineer, to our penultimate destination of the trip (Vancouver) where we were going to my Great Aunt's house for the first time.    We slept fairly well in Kamloops, but I always find that whenever I have to wake up early it hinders me being … Continue reading KAMLOOPS TO VANCOUVER | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

LAKE LOUISE TO KAMLOOPS | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

Part of the reason I had wanted to do a complete cross country journey, was to travel over the Rocky Mountains. What better way to do it, than by train?   https://www.instagram.com/p/BE4ts7SELXl/?taken-by=travelteatv   We woke up bright and early in our hotel, The Lake Louise Inn, got ourselves up and ready, then simply walked outside … Continue reading LAKE LOUISE TO KAMLOOPS | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
