A long weekend across the pond: my New York City blog post!

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

You may remember me mentioning that I was going to spend the weekend in New York with my Mum as an early 21st birthday treat (my actual birthday is during uni term time so we had to go early). Well, that weekend has been and gone...and it was amazing! So I'd like to dedicate this blog post to filling you in on everything we got up to in the Big Apple! I invite you to live vicariously through me and enjoy a "virtual" long weekend in the city that never sleeps!

The Final Chapter - travel update número ocho!

Hello again and welcome to the eighth and final travel update! 

After six weeks of travelling around Asia, our extended holiday (I'm not even gonna try and call it backpacking anymore...) has finally come to an end! I'm currently on the plane between Jakarta and Dubai and I'm very excited about getting home! 

"No police, no terrorism, no worries" - travel update número siete

Hello again!! 

I'd like to say that I haven't blogged in a while because we've been so busy and having a whale of time, but we've really just been struck down by a rather persistent case of what I'm branding, "the Gili guts"...need I say any more?! 

Right, without further adieu, let's move to the Gili Islands (where the showers are cold salt water and you have to rinse off with a freezing cold bucket of fresh water - brrrrr!). 

An Idiot Abroad - travel update número cinco!

Hello again! (Still need to work on this opening - honestly, if anyone has any ideas, I'm open to all suggestions!) 

I've only just managed to convince myself to get back to the keyboard after three whole days chilling at the hotel - this has definitely turned out to be the most relaxing part of the holiday so far!

Here's what we've been up to since Sunday!

A Balinese beauty - travel blog número cuatro

Hello you! 

So I am now writing from Bali, Indonesia's own slice of paradise. I have to say that Bali is a place that I never really imagined I'd ever get to go. I've always thought of it as some super luxurious place, the setting of many a perfect picture featuring beautiful beaches, palm trees and stunning sunsets. But here I am, and for a whole month too! Feeling rather lucky...
