‘Adventure’

Posted on March 22, 2016December 29, 2019by Emma

Travel adventures are the only kind of surprises I like. When I have a day off, there’s nothing I like to hear more than a friend coming up to me and having this conversation: “Emma, how would you like to go on an adventure?!”“I’d love to! Where are we going?”“It’s a surprise!” Which is exactly […]

Cocoa Beach and Village

Posted on June 23, 2015November 25, 2018by Emma

Leaving Orlando and Universal Studios, we made our way to the coast in preparation for the number one reason we had come to Florida in the first place – NASA! But before I write what will inevitably be a post that takes a whole day to read, here’s what else we got up to around […]

Cadboro Bay

Posted on September 2, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

I seem to have the uncanny ability of being able to sniff out the universities with nature right on their doorstep. Stirling with it’s rolling hills and loch, and now Victoria, with its private gardens (coming soon!), forest and trails to the beach! I have a very bipolar timetable that either leaves me either rushing […]

Birthday Whale Watching

Posted on August 29, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

Unpopular opinion time: I don’t particularly enjoy my birthday. I dislike the attention, the fuss, and yes, even the gifts. Cake is welcome (because who doesn’t like cake?) but in most cases, I want to hide under a blanket for the entirety of the day.  There is, however, one exception to my allergy to presents, […]

Zanzibar

Posted on June 19, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

What better way to recover from a week on the side of Mount Kilimanjaro than relax on the white sands of a tropical island? The post-Kili recovery week spent on Zanzibar was paradise! Unfortunately, paradise took a lot of travel to get to. Almost 600km down to the Tanzanian capital, Dar es Salaam, followed by a […]

The Jurassic Coast: West Bay and Loders

Posted on July 28, 2013November 25, 2018by Emma

Man, have I had a busy week! I’m back from the Lake District where I met up with uni friends which was amazing fun but I want to do everything in chronological order so I don’t forget anything. So, let’s continue with Dorset! I woke up bright and early (for me) in my small yet […]
