Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
A very common misconception of the Flame of Liberty, is that it was built in memory of Princess Diana. Whilst she was more than deserving of the sculpture, the flame was actually built in 1986, eleven years before Diana's death. Symbolising enlightenment to the world, it became known as Diana's Flame.Diana's death is still one... Continue Reading →
One of the first things that comes to mind when thinking of Paris, and France really, is the Eiffel Tower. Originally built in 1887, this sculpture was only meant to be temporary as part of the worldwide exhibition. The creator, Gustave Eiffel, had planned to destroy it twenty years after the exhibition ended. However, in... Continue Reading →
Okay so this is a little bit of an odd place to visit and perhaps a bit creepy, but beauty can be found any where, and there was a lot to be found at the Montparnasse Cemetery. I came across this cemetery whilst researching the area after visiting the catacombs. Well known for its abstract... Continue Reading →
For all the book worms out there, this store is a little slice of heaven. So this blog post is a bit of a sneaky one as you're not actually meant to take photos here. I was very quick and discrete when I took mine, so please don't think of me as an annoying tourist... Continue Reading →
200 years in the making and now 855 years old, the Notre Dame has got to be one of Paris's most famous tourist spots. We didn't make it to the top as, as you've guessed, it was way too busy, but I would recommend anyone planning a trip to go up. I went up there... Continue Reading →
Standing outside of St. Anne's Hospital center in Paris, you will find Jeannots Floor. This controversial piece was taken from the farm house of Jeannot L'Bernais, in the south of France. Before it was gifted to the hospital in 2005, it was displayed at various art exhibitions. Both intrusive and intriguing, this was something I... Continue Reading →
For such a stressful morning, things actually ran perfectly smoothly. At 5:15am my sister and I took an Uber for our 6:00am coach. Other than four kids having a screaming match and being wedged in like a sardine, the couch journey was okay. That was until we got to London city and hit a huge... Continue Reading →
For me, strawberry picking marks the end of Summer and the welcome of Autumn. When my sister and I were little, my mum would take us picking every year and we loved it. It's a really nice day out and something every one can enjoy... well unless you don't like strawberries of course. As we... Continue Reading →
Firstly, apologies I have been so slack in my posts. I have been working my behind off for the past nine months. I am currently at home in the UK and working on a farm, all day every day (no exaggeration here). It's relentlessly hard work so my blogging has been put to the side... Continue Reading →
Being from the city, the wild life of Bristol isn't very exciting. It's not that we don't have any, it's just that we don't see much of it. So being in the Australian country (or if you're Aussie, the bush) whenever I found anything, I would have to pick it up and take a photo...... Continue Reading →
Something I never envisioned myself doing before I left the UK, was working on a farm. I've always been interested and lived around that sort of thing but had never really got my hands dirty. I'm pretty much willing to give anything a try, so when the opportunity came to work on a farm, I... Continue Reading →
Whilst road tripping through the centre of Australia, we stopped for camp at the Devils Marbles. Since I decided I wanted to travel to Australia, I've always wanted to see the Marbles but I was never sure on the logistics of how to do it. I looked into doing a tour or getting a coach...

The first thing that comes to mind when I see 'Potato Head', is this guy. An odd name for a beach club but definitely one you'll remember. The Potato Head Lounge is located just off the beach in Seminyak. It is a little tricky to find the first time you go there, as there is... Continue Reading →
Okay so being home isn’t that bad... The autumnal build up to Christmas is my favourite time of year, so it’s nice to be home for it. It’s lovely creeping into winter when being chilly is a novelty that hasn’t worn off yet. Of course the approach to Christmas comes with a lot of shopping,... Continue Reading →
This was my best day in Chiang Mai... Actually this was my best day in Thailand... Perhaps my best day in the whole of SEA. After a week in Pai, we arrived back in Chiang Mai and I was in search of things to see/do. My biggest passion in life is dogs, so when I... Continue Reading →
