Far too often we frame our actions and our thoughts.

That’s what’s led me to creating this page – solely dedicated to the raw diary entries I’ve written when I’ve traveled.

17 June 2019 – Some of the most testing parts of my travels in Paris (venting out aloud)

Written when I was on a bus from Paris to Poitiers, towards my next Workaway.  Have you ever been traveling and thought to yourself ~ "I've had enough. I just want to go home now!" To be honest, I've been relatively happy plodding along through my travels and hopping from country to country, bed to [...]

Portugal wasn't on my itinerary... At least until summer. It's strange how one decision can change everything in your destiny. If I waited for a little longer for my friend to reply, I wouldn't have booked a hostel in Barcelona. If I didn't stay in Barcelona, I wouldn't have met Mr Zen (see my last [...]

After 5 weeks of exploring Colombia’s major cities, I’ve finally left and am on a plane to Lima where I can finally do the Salkantay trek. I’m on Viva Air – it must be a Peruvian airline because they won’t accept anything but US Dollars or peruvian Solas on for snacks and drinks which I [...]

I haven't really been that motivated to write lately. I've noticed that the longer I travel, the smaller my motivation becomes. But right now...at this very moment, I have motivation and inspiration to write. It's times like these that I need to take advantage of documenting what I'm feeling and doing because it's something I [...]

The random thoughts which go through my mind while I’m waiting

25 May 2019 I somehow ended up at a hospital in Brazil again yesterday... Now, before you jump into panick, I just needed to see a doctor to check something ~ it wasn't serious (even though I'm not happy with the diagnosis...it could have been worse).  Fun fact...going to hospitals make me feel uncomfortable - [...]

Hello and goodbye La Paz ~ my poor last-minute decision to see the Uyuni Salt Flats (Part 1)

Before I came to South America, Bolivia wasn't really on my radar. It wasn't until someone I met during my travels showed me pictures of the Salt Flats that I thought: "I must go there!" (yes, I'm guilty of making an itinerary based on social media pics). So far, I've traveled through Brazil, Colombia and [...]
