Exploring Atlanta’s Martin Luther King Jr. district

June 26, 2020

It was the … More Charleston & The edge of America

April 29, 2020

The first place I really got a chance to explore in the US was Savannah.

What should I pack for Camp America?

April 22, 2020

If you’ve never been to an American summer camp deciding what to take can be a bit of a guessing game. The kids themselves usually take everything they own, and I mean everything, they have their huge luggage shipped to camp. Unfortunately, when you’re trying to cram three months worth of stuff into a 22k … More What should I pack for Camp America?

Festival Do’s and Don’ts

February 26, 2020

I remember the first time I went to a festival I had just turned 16, I was incredibly excited but also incredibly naive. I didn’t really know what to expect other than fun, freedom, seeing my favourite bands and partying with my friends for 5 days.
