His name is Wagner, and he is a wombat. Now, before you think I’ve gone completely mad let me explain. We were staying at…

This year I have been spending more time in the UK, and I have a new-found appreciation for my home country. However, some parts of the UK can be pricey so I asked Becky from MyVoucherCodes to suggest some cool places to visit in the UK on a budget. The weather in the UK has been glorious lately. Temperatures have been well above 20 degrees for the past couple of weeks and fingers crossed it continues like this. With all…
I was back in London again, but this time for a good cause. I was climbing up the O2 arena, the old Millennium Dome to raise money for Canine Partners, an amazing charity which helps to train puppies to become assistance dogs to help people with disabilities. The climb up the O2 was great fun actually, although I was nervous at first, and coming down was steeper than I thought! Before I talk about the climb itself I want to…

When I travel, I almost always stay in hostels. This is partly to save money, and partly to save my sanity. I usually travel alone, so if I stayed in a hotel I would just stay in my room and keep myself to myself – I can go for days without talking to anyone. While sometimes I need the privacy and luxury of a private room, most of the time I still like to meet other travellers, and luckily there…
I met Roman in Antigua Guatemala, when I was there last year. I had asked him to write this article about the Acatenango hike before the fatal eruption of Fuego volcano in Guatemala on June 3rd 2018. I thought long and hard about whether to publish it at all after so many people lost their lives, homes and loved ones. However, tours to do the Acatenango Volcano hike are running again, so hiking Acatenango responsibly and donating some of your…
Another trip to London? I rolled my eyes. Overcrowded and overpriced, London was never my favourite place to visit and had always felt so overrated to me. However, on my recent visit to London, everything changed. I wasn’t stressed out by the traffic or the people, and I didn’t feel ripped off every time I paid for something. Instead, I went to new places in the city, ate amazing food, saw a theatre show, and had a wonderful time. So,…
