I love attending conferences. I really do. I think they’re great places for meeting likeminded individuals and for bouncing ideas off one another (and, of course, having a drink, or two, or three). I went to TBEX (Travel Blog Exchange) at the weekend in Lloret de Mar...

The brain is an amazing thing but it’s also very, very powerful. There’s something I haven’t spoken much about on this blog. It’s not because I’m ashamed or worried (though I’m sure those feelings are in there somewhere), it’s because I don’t know how to bring it up...

“I must write a post, I must write a post.” “What should I write about? Why can’t I think of anything to write about?” This has pretty much been my train of thought over the past week. At the start of the year I was doing so well with my publishing schedule. I was...

There are so many preachy articles out there that tout quitting your job to travel as the only way to live. Like I’ve stated many times before, it’s certainly not the right choice for everyone. This post is part of the ‘quit your job to travel’ series, which...

Freelancing. It’s a bit of an elusive word really, isn’t it? I know before I started freelancing I had no idea what it involved, how the heck people made money from it, or how it would ever be a viable option as a career. These are the things you learn along the way,...
