Mount Kilimanjaro - 8 day Machame Route
In this blog post, I’m going to give you MY experience on the mountain and an in-depth description of each day, trekking the Machame Route. I also have other blog posts on Kilimanjaro - Packing Guide for Kilimanjaro and 10 things I didn’t know before climbing Kilimanjaro. I climbed Kili at the beginning of September 2016 and still to this day, it’s THE best thing I've ever done. I booked the trek through STA Travel and G Adventures - I honestly can't recommend them enough!
5 Best Things to do in Shanghai
Shanghai is the largest city in China with a dense population of nearly 25 million people. With a city this size, the list of things to see and do is endless. I’ve been lucky enough to spend a good amount of time in Shanghai, as in 2017 I worked on a cruise ship that sailed in and out of the city on a weekly basis.
Paradise Islands of Japan
Japan has way more to offer than just bustling cities, culture and incredible food. The country is made up of over 6,000 islands and is surrounded by some of the clearest water in the world. Whilst travelling and working on a cruise ship in 2017, one of our main routes was sailing to three islands in the East China Sea between Taiwan and Japan's mainland. Okinawa, Miyakojima and Ishigaki are all in the Okinawa Prefecture.
The Hidden Gems of Taiwan
Taiwan is one of the highest densely populated countries in the world, which makes you automatically think of stuffy cities and people everywhere. However, I don’t think of Taiwan like that at all. I have been fortunate enough to experience a lot of what the country has to offer, which is wide open spaces, natural untouched scenery and views to die for.
10 Things They Don't Tell You About Cruise Ship Life
Out of all the trips I’ve been on, to everyone I meet, my time working on a cruise ship definitely proves to be the most interesting. 4 years on and I still get asked a lot of questions regarding ship life. Did you like it? Did you miss home? Were you allowed off the ship? I can answer these questions very easily - YES!
A Weekend of Adventure in Wales
Wales is famously known for its rolling hills, beautiful beaches, adventure holidays… rain and sheep!
Growing up, we had numerous family summer holidays in the Brecon Beacons, Barmouth, Tywyn and Snowdonia. Which are some of the most beautiful places in the UK.
