Selecting your gear for the Appalachian Trail is an important part of the pre-trail planning phase. Here is my review on the gear I used for my hike.
There’s plenty of things to see and do in the medieval town of Begur, which perches on the Costa Brava coast, just a few hours north of Barcelona.
There are countless hikes in the Peak District. From gentle ambles around sparkling reservoirs to more strenuous boulder scrambles, there is something to suit just about everyone.
Luxembourg is an underrated little slice of Europe. Explore a city steeped in history, hike beautiful trails and discover a land scattered with castles.
Some days on the Appalachian Trail SUCKED. From the physical, to the emotional, to everything in-between, here’s my experience.
Being a vegan on the Appalachian Trail isn’t as difficult as you’d expect. It just takes a little knowledge, planning and creativity.
I hiked over 1000 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Pennsylvania in 2019. Here, I talk about why I departed earlier than planned.
Planning your Appalachian Trail hike from the UK can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Read on to see what I did to get organised.
There are many beautiful and varied Cheshire walks, where you’ll discover quaint villages, rolling pastures, eerie chasms and enchanted woodlands.
I talk about the process I went through to get a B-2 Visa for the Appalachian Trail. The visa grants you up to 6 months per visit, so it’s ideal for hikers.
I’m going to hike the Appalachian Trail in March 2019. Here, I talk about why and how I plan to hike, plus my inspiration, fears and preparations.
I’m unsure why it has taken me up until my 29th year to visit York, but a few weeks back, I finally got to check it off my bucket list, when myself and Lyndon treated ourselves to a brief trip. From the get-go, I was a huge fan of its quaint, rural feel, buildings steeped…
Despite being adored by virtually everyone I know, who had visited, Barcelona was never high up on my list of places to go. Having lived in a city for the majority of my 20’s, I find I am much more swayed by the call of the wilderness nowadays. Saying that, when my sister, Lucy presented…
I feel like there is a slight divide in opinion within the travel community when it comes to going on tours. Some, for instance, argue that they are a waste of money, overpriced and inflexible, whilst others swear by them, base entire trips around them and don’t want the hassles and responsibilities, which come when planning…
Since returning from my long term travels towards the end of 2016, my aim for 2017 and beyond was to experience (and come to appreciate) a little more of my own turf. This is something a great deal of us neglect to do; we get so caught up in jetting off to distant lands, that…
Elounda is situated on the North-East coast of Crete and is about two hours by bus from Heraklion Airport. Once a simple fishing village, it is now an ideal place to visit if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle, but not overly isolated. One of the first things I noticed whilst…
It is important to note that although Norway in a Nutshell is a tour, with schedules and transport readily organised for you, it is still essentially self-guided. There is no single tour guide leading the way and no food included. You just pick up your booklet of tickets, which cover all of your transport and…
In 2015, I was incredibly fortunate to find myself living on Australia’s third largest island for three and a half months. Without a shadow of a doubt, Kangaroo Island changed my life; the people I met, the lifestyle I led, the scenery that took my breath away, the wildlife I encountered – from the cute to the downright terrifying and the fascinating…
Travelling to a new country can be daunting, confusing and is never 100% straightforward, especially if you intend to stay there for an extended period of time and work. If you go completely unprepared, you may feel bombarded by new information, rules and regulations, which is why it’s good to be in the know about a few…
I could reel off one hundred points why you should get yourself over to the beautiful state of Western Australia. However, this account alone should be reason enough for you to begin planning your next trip. When I found out that I would be in the state slap bang in the middle of whale shark season (between mid March-August),…
For those of you who know me, you’ll be familiar with my dislike of boat journeys by now. The thing is, I love boats and I love the sea, they just don’t like me so much. Just the faintest of motion and I’m distributing my lunch across the ocean. Don’t get me wrong, I never let this…
After returning from Australia, I found myself under the less-than-desirable circumstances of temporarily moving with my parents onto their canal boat, whilst they moved house and I waited to move into my own pad. In terms of space, privacy and connection with the outside world, things soon became very limited and everyday life was turned upside down for us all. To coincide…
My first experience of the Blue Mountains was back in 2014, just 2 weeks into my Australian adventure. It was cold and wet. The warmest item of clothing I had brought with me was a thin hoodie and my best footwear was a pair of old running trainers. I was completely unprepared. Almost 2 years later I returned, armed with…
We spent 5 months working in the little town of Strahan, furiously saving for the next chapter of our travels. When April 2016 rolled around and Targa zoomed past in a cloud of dust, it was finally time to take full advantage of our unusually healthy financial situations and the pure luxury of ample time, two things backpackers are normally scraping the bottom…
If you are a lover of the great outdoors like myself, then Tasmania is most definitely the place for you. The island is home to over 2000km of tracks dedicated to all types of walkers, be you the fair weather type who enjoys a short stroll, or an avid bushwalker who likes to disappear for…
There are heaps of tracks all around Cradle Mountain – Lake St. Clair National Park. They vary in difficulty and length, ensuring that there is something for everyone and with so much to see – waterfalls, lakes, fairy-tale forests, buttongrass plains, mountain ranges and an abundance of wildlife, I would definitely recommend spending a good chunk of time here. We spent a week…
During my stay at Cradle Mountain Hotel, I was very lucky to be introduced to Cradle Country Adventures. Owner of the company, Ray, who was quite possibly the most Australian man I have ever laid eyes on, picked us up one rainy morning along with another couple and drove us to his stables a short…
Mt. Amos makes up part of the Hazards mountain range, dominating the landscape and towering dramatically above Freycinet Lodge, which can be found nestled comfortably at its base. After being kindly invited to spend the weekend at the Lodge, I was super excited to explore its surrounds and the National Park in particular. Unlike the walk to Wineglass Bay…
