Travel Blogger w/a Day Job. Loves Festivals, and London. 
Not long till Field Day now – 25 May 2013. I’ve gone through the whole line up – relistened to the artists I love and checked out the few that I’ve never ruddy bloody heard of. It’s been a long, joyful and interesting process. I love doing this as it [...]
I learnt to ski in January 2012 when I went to Vogel Ski Centre in Slovenia. I had a brilliant time and progressed well in the four days we had on the slopes. I felt pretty confident on leaving Slovenia that I’d be a champion skier in no time and [...]
Going abroad for the first time can be a daunting experience. There’s a lot to consider and if you’re planning it for other people the onus is on you to get it right – scary stuff. With any holiday there’s a long list of things to do before you leave, [...]
What would you like to do if money were no object? I want to share two works of inspiration that have really stuck with me over the last fortnight. The first is a video Macca Sherifi, the Travel Editor at gapyear.com, played at his volunteering talk at the TNT Travel [...]
Grünerløkka in Oslo is like Shoreditch in London, or Williamsburg in New York. It’s where all the hipsters, struggling artists and cool kids hang out.

I love the whole GIF craze that’s going on at the moment. They look so dated, but in the same way so cool. The best way to start blogging is to set up a Tumblr account and fill it with funny GIFs in my opinion. Let me know if you [...]
I’ve decided to venture out into the world of video. I’ve got a long way to go, I know this, but you can follow me at VickyFlipFlop on Vimeo. Give me some constructive criticism, I love it. This is my first video (for work), let me know what you think. Just [...]
My Grand Adventure is ready. I’ve spent far too much time on this, but I actually love looking up trips and fantasising about travels abroad so entering this competition from moneysupermarket.com has been a great medicine for me while I try to save money by staying put. Scandinavia is ridiculously [...]
“Some people wouldn’t even do that in a lifetime” – Dad, when I just read this list to him. 2012 has definitely been a crazy one for me when it comes to exploring. I’ve visited 10 countries and 13 cities; lucky me. I’ve also scored a super cool job where [...]
