Saving Money to Move Abroad
One of the biggest questions I’m asked about moving abroad (aside from the big WHY?!), is how did I manage to save money to actually pack it in and head across the pond. Let me tell you, it was the cliché “change your lifestyle” bs. Without taking on a second job, I couldn’t bring in … Continue reading Saving Money to Move Abroad

My relationship with travel.
One of my biggest passions in life is travel. From a young age, I remember fawning over far flung destinations.

Growing up, it all … Continue reading My relationship with travel.

We're quite excited about this holiday as it's the only long holiday we have booked for 2018 and my husband has never been to Asia. My travel to Asia has … Continue reading Travel Planning: Sri Lanka
Becoming an Expat
In 2014, I decided, kind of half-heartedly, that I wanted to see what my options abroad were. I had always felt like home wasn't really home. I wanted to see what else was out there. By this time, I had done some pretty heavy travelling and was keen to carry on with exploring the world. I … Continue reading Becoming an Expat

Weekend Break: Edinburgh

My husband and I got a dog (the love of our life, Reuben) in November. Since we got him, we've not … Continue reading Weekend Break: Edinburgh
