Travel Blogger w/a Day Job. Loves Festivals, and London. 
If you’re planning on visiting the Seville Feria for the first time you’re going to need my help. I went in 2010 and had a crazy 24 hours getting to grips with the annual festival. In 2012 it runs from 24-29 April so you haven’t got long to get planning. [...]
This article is for Assignment 7 on the MatadorU course… You’re not going to make your millions being a travel writer – but retiring early to a cottage by the sea is a definite possibility if you submit your articles to the right places. Most websites will want you to [...]
This blog post is for assignment two of the MatadorU course, but don’t let that stop you… I quickly looked behind us and the waiters weren’t following, yet. We sped up our pace over the Charles Bridge and past the buskers and street sellers. We were convinced that everyone was after us. [...]

This picture appeared on my Pinterest today and I realised I recognised it from somewhere. I knew the arrows well – all pointing in different directions haphazardly – I knew the vivid and bright colours and the sunny location and happy feeling the picture gave me. It was from somewhere [...]
We’re doing a good job at hiding our fear here. It was quite possibly my idea to go up there and see Barcelona from the sky, but when I was up the top I was definitely regretting it. I have this strange and selective fear of heights – as discovered [...]
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 [...]
