It has been a while since I last published a travel diary post. The last part of my travel diary was all about South Korea. From there, my journey continued to Hong Kong and China. China is huge so I only managed to see a small part of the country despite spending six weeks there. This was my China itinerary:
You can’t really go to China without seeing its wonder – the Great Wall. Here’s my experience of hiking the Jinshanling Great Wall, a less known section of the Great Wall of China. And how did I see the Great Wall for free?
With the increasing popularity of Instagram, Busan now seems to be widely known for its colourful village full of art. If you would like to see this magical place for yourself, you are in luck because today I am bringing you tips for visiting the Gamcheon Culture Village!
As you might have noticed in my recent posts or on my Instagram, I keep saying how much I loved my trip to Japan. If you have been wondering just what makes the land of the rising sun so special, you can find the answer in this article!
Wondering how it really feels to leave your comfort zone? I have been very positive about my experience so you might be expecting the answer “amazing”. But actually… no, not at first.

It has been a week since I arrived in Thailand – a country I have never been to before, on a continent I had never set foot on. What are my first impressions of Southeast Asia?

Going on a long backpacking trip is quite a big decision, especially if you are travelling solo. No wonder everyone around you has lots of questions and opinions.

I have put together a list of my least favourite things you hear before you go solo travelling.
There is one question I have been asked over and over again in the last year: Why are you leaving London?? Living in London is the dream, I must be out of my mind, giving it all up! Don’t get me wrong, London is wonderful. It might just not be such a perfect place to live in like most people seem to think… Here is the truth about why I left London.
Whether you like it or not, we only have one planet and we are slowly destroying it. If that doesn’t scare you, you aren’t paying attention. I know travelling isn’t the most environment-friendly activity in the world. In fact, flying by plane actually has THE WORST impact on the environment. One more reason to do our best to redeem ourselves, don’t you think? So how exactly do you achieve eco-friendly travel?
I may be a backpacking newbie, but travelling itself is nothing new to me. I suppose I have my parents to thank for showing me the world is big and taking me to places like Italy or Austria since a very young age and waking up this wanderlust in me. Which of my all-time favourite travel destinations do I recommend?
