I write this post, curled up in foetal position in my beanie and cons with a scarf wrapped around my legs for warmth, on a bus en route to Perth. I’ve done this journey a fair few times over my four year period of living ‘Douth’ and have always weirdly enjoyed what other people tend […]
I couldn’t help but delve into another travel inspired post for you all today – mostly because I am a got a severe case of the itchy feets and wanderlustin’. Now I understand that my experiences are quite bias in some respects, as I haven’t seen nearly as much of this incredible continent as I […]
My heart seemed to grow, ten fold, in my travels. More love, more gratitude, more connection, more passion, more fire, more joy … It feels damn good. So I’m trying to relish and savour this absolutely phenomenal momentum and full o’ juice sensation. Gratitude time bitches. 1 // Old friends – who have overwhelmed me […]
1 – You’re dying to develop your llama//alpaca differentiation skills. I don’t mean to brag but I can now identify a llama or alpaca, at a distance, in lightening speed. CV get ready – my skills section is gettin’ an update. 2 – You want to restore your faith in humanity and the good in people. […]

Peru, like Bolivia, felt like a big ole bag of uncertainty when we approached this leg of the trip. I sat, in complete overwhelm & maybe even a trickle of fear (possibly influenced also by it being the evening before death road) during our welcome orientation with our new Peruvian guide, terrified of what was […]
This thought struck me whilst in midst of travel induced physical anomalies and needs me to start with somewhat of a confession. Traveling Emily ain’t so pretty & as I type this I’m 99% sure that I have contracted either a jungle disease or have been the victim of a voodoo spell that has caused […]
Holá blessers. This post is being brought to you courtesy of terrible South American wifi, a plush hotel bed and by a writer powered by the BEST chocolate in Bolivia (a little chocolatier in Sucre called ‘Parati’). You are welcome friends. So I’ve just hit the three week mark of my break up inspired, midlife […]
The last time I was single, I was a teenager. I was an eighteen year old who had no idea of who she was, what she wanted, what she was worth, where she was going … but she was lucky enough to find a boy//man who was an amazing person, who helped her to find […]
