Staying in a hostel for the night, when I live in the same city? … yep, guilty. But with good reason.
So to a couple of weeks ago, where I had a party to attend out in the northern regions of zone 5. As I live in zone 6, you may not think this an issue, […]
Are you a Top Bunk W*nker?
Excuse the profanity, I wouldn’t normally use such a crude opening line to a post, but having just returned from the cinema and having seen the new Inbetweeners movie trailer, my backpacking instincts tell me that ‘Top Bunk W*anker’ is a phase you’re going to have to get used to […]
Well that was different, and not entirely what I was expecting, or prepared for. First off I was expecting snow, of which there was none, and secondly I was expecting a few like minded people, but they were few and far between. In fact other backpackers and hostel dorm mates were generally in short supply, […]
Say what you see. This post is simply going to investigate those tough and awkward situations that often rear their fugly heads when sharing a hostel dorm room with a bunch of strangers. Hostel life hey, never a dull moment.

Uh oh, here comes trouble. Well you’ve all probably spoken to Becki either on twitter or at a London blogger meet-up, she’s a erm … social butterfly haha. I jest, all round top chick and a great mate, she’s none to shabby at a quiz either. Sadly for us Londoners its not long now until Becki’s off […]
Fresh from a wee (see what i did there, wee … scotland … never mind) trip around Australia, Emma from emmastraveltales.com was nice enough to pen a few answers to my usual bunch of interview questions about travel inspiration and futures plans. To be fair she did owe me after an eventful night in Covent […]
So thats the Ireland roadtrip all done with. 9 Amazing days and a lot of miles covered within that time, but every one totally worth it. There were a few places we planned to visit that we never quite made it to, Westport for example we had to skip, but it looks amazing so maybe we’ll […]
Day 6-9 Mini Summary:
Day 6 – Drive from Galway to Limerick via the cliffs of Moher – It was a fairly straight forward coastal drive in the sunshine. The cliffs were well sign posted, but there were lots of big ass coaches on the road also, ferry tourists from Dublin and other such places. To […]
