Istanbul is one of my favourite Cities to visit! I first travelled to Istanbul in 2014. This time, I was travelling there with my boyfriend Tom, and we had booked to spend 4 nights there. Istanbul is such a modern, Cosmopolitan City, it was Tom's first time there and he described it as really similar …
Myanmar (pronounced Mee-anmar), was the final country of our travels, and it was such a beautiful country to finish with! When people think of Myanmar, the question always arises of whether it is a safe country to travel to. We found the country to be safe, and the people very welcoming and friendly. Having never …

However, Nepal has so much more to offer outside of the Himalayas, from tracking Rhinos and tigers on safari, to paragliding over serene lakes! Nepal is an incredible country with friendly locals and so much to …
Madagascar is without a doubt the most difficult country I’ve ever travelled in. The reasons for this include the lack of infrastructure in the country which makes booking hotels, flights or buses a difficult and often frustrating task! The language barrier can also make travel difficult. Malagasy is the main language spoken with French being …
Now that I have finished my 3 months of voluntary work in Madagascar I thought I would write a blog post on the lessons learned during my time there. I hope this will help others who hope to work overseas, and pass on the words of advice I was given before Madagascar! Before Arriving/Planning your …

The two weeks were jam packed and …
