Saltwater Swimming Pools, Sydney

Australia really is one of my favourite places on earth. It has always been in my head as somewhere I wanted to go and possibly live someday. 

So when I 'd saved up enough to travel there last February/March I was absolutely ecstatic! I decided to do the typical backpacker route from Melbourne to Cairns but I have also included a few pictures from friends who have inspired me to travel even more of Oz!

The Girl Who Travels: Alexis

The first girl I'm featuring is Alexis, who is from Canada and was also eighteen/nineteen when she was travelling. When I met her she was on a trip where she had lived in Melbourne for a few months, travelled to Tasmania and was on the way up the West Coast of Australia with her friend Deanna who was still in Australia when I reunited with Lex in Canada.

I love how Alexis is so bubbly and up for anything and is the loveliest person, her and Dea were the people I needed when I met them. I hope this comes across in the questions I asked her!

Vacationing in Vienna

Back in November, when my travel blues were setting in hard, I started looking around the internet for cheap flights to literally anywhere. It's easy to find if you just put a little effort in. Check skyscanner, easyjet and Ryanair for the cheapest flights from England to Europe and also flying from London Gatwick makes it a lot cheaper.

The cheapest? Vienna.

So that's where I went.

The Girl Who Travels

She's the one with the messy hair coloured by the sun;

The one who's skin holds her stories in scars and tan lines;

The one who is up for anything, the more extreme the better.

The one who is fresh faced and beautiful;

The one who'd rather be in flip flops than heels;

the one who is strong minded and can hold her own;

The one who can adapt to any situation;

The one who loves life with all its ups and downs.

We are the ones who are stuck between two worlds;

A world we don't know how to navigate properly anymore and a world where we feel the most alive.

We are nomads. We belong to no city. We belong to no one.

As I'm not able to travel as much as I want at the moment I've decided to feature girls I have met travelling and their experience of it in the mean time. Watch this space!

To New Adventures...

I have now been at university for a whole semester, three months to be exact. And with all the changes and having assignments again I just haven't really thought about blogging.

To say I was scared to come down to Falmouth is an understatement. After having a whole year of moving around constantly I didn't know how I'd feel being in one place and having to get back to the real world. I'd have to adapt myself to being around the same people all the time and having to do work again and having to do adult things like budgeting and laundry.

But somehow, I've made it work.
