Travel Blogger w/a Day Job. Loves Festivals, and London. 
When you’re on a student budget you have to be a little more creative when it comes to affording travel. I used to trawl gumtree.com looking for free travel opportunities, or even better, ones that paid. I came across VaughanTown. An English immersion ‘camp’ that drafted in anglophiles to chat [...]
I’ve signed up for the London Triathlon. One minute I’m running at the gym imagining myself crossing the finishing line, literally the next I feel like I’m going to be sick and I ponder breaking my leg in June time to get out of it. I’m locked in to this [...]
Twenty eager faces stared at me in anticipation. The vickyflipfloptravels.com homepage was projected on the classroom wall bigger than I’d ever seen it (damn my balls and boobs post), the sounds of children playing outside was filtering in, but the air wasn’t, and I was sweating with panic.

During my recent trip to Oslo I realised how amazing and brilliant Instagram is. I know I’m late to the game, but after signing up for a Statigram account so I can view my images online, I’m literally in love with it. I did a quick search to find other [...]
My last post was How I Made Money While Travelling, but since my last big trip I’ve learned a bit more about making some cash money on the road. Next time I go, hopefully summer 2013, these are the tips and tricks I’m going to take advantage of… Working in [...]

Late for work, it was that late night that did us in, we need a good 10 hours of sleep here. Anyway, yet again more painting today, getting sick of slapping that white on the walls but I’m trying to enjoy it while it lasts I know I’ll miss the [...]
Back to work on our Workaway project, and more painting. We did six hours of it today as we had an hour off the other day and don’t want Isabel to think we’re skiving off. We finished the painting on the three villas and kept spotting all the mistakes we’d [...]
Today we started painting the white of the three houses. It’s definitely repetitive work, but made better with my iPod blasting in my ears, the sun beating on my back and Waiels by my side. We got covered in white paint as we didn’t really have the flow and while [...]
