Why Staying in a Hostel for the First Time Isn’t Scary (Even If You’re Over 30)

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 […]

How to Travel Australia for Cheap

Uluru - Camping under the stars at Uluru is definitely on my Australia Bucket List
