How many of us have dreamed of being sat in our airplane seat, anxiously looking for the man or woman of our dreams to waltz down the aisle and tell you they'll be sitting next to you for the next five hours? You'll laugh, you'll bond and you'll realize that you've both fallen deeply in love during the flight, which will, obviously result in the two of yo[...]

Finding my feet through all the hustle and bustle, the hypnotizing sound of the Arabic language singing in my ears, the smell of cardamom filling my nose from the streets. The sun laying on my skin like velvet. I remember why it was so easy to for me to fall in love with the Middle East the first time. 4 years living in Saudi Arabia and travelling [...]

I must confess, on many a sun-filled day Iâ€™ve sat alone in hotel rooms, skimming mindlessly through stations, desperately in search of Animal Planet. AC on, curtains closed and Pringles crumbs scattered carelessly about the bedâ€¦ probably. This is the side of travel that people donâ€™t talk about, donâ€™t blog about; the days that arenâ€™t spent living yo[...]

As much as my generation may have been defamed for being so obsessed with the social-media, and being termed everything from twit to ditz to social-media whores, it would be imprudent to overlook the plethora of benefits this very same social media offers, other than instant gratification of course! Another ingratiating vice which my generation has provid[...]

We all know that feeling of post-travel blues. You return home, full of stories and adventures, and after the initial joy of reunitingÂ with your family and friends, it all wears off, and you are once again dreaming of hitting the road, seeking new unknown places. Iâ€™ve been guilty of this feeling every time I have come back from a trip, but this time I de[...]

Have you ever found yourself voluntarily missing a call because you were too busy scrolling down Instagram? Well, I am ashamed to admit I have. More than once, actually. This social network has been one of my hobbies lately. I ended my RoundTheWorld trip a few months ago, and the come-back home has not been easy. I miss living out of a backpack, meeting new [...]

On May 17, 2014 (my 24th birthday) I woke up early in Barbados. I stepped out from under the mosquito net hanging above my hostâ€™s bed and embraced the morning sun shining through the French patio doors. I had my whole day planned (sort of): a surf lesson at Zedâ€™s Surfing School at 10am; a short drive to St. Lawrence Gap to check out the beach, the res[...]

Hands up if you're a Fandroid?!? I knew it wasn't just me! While I loved my iPhone 3GS back in the day, for the last 3 years I've been more than happy with my Android phone which does everything an iPhone does and cost me almost a third of what the latest iPhone does. I'm currently the proud owner of a LG Nexus 5 but also have a soft spot for Samsung phones.[...]

"It's been a month since my last flight...Â Hi, my name's Frankie and I'm a recovering travel addict." I woke up this morning and realised something scary. I don't have my next trip booked. I don't have any plans to leave the country where I now live. And I don't know where my next journey will take me or if I'll even go abroad again this year. It [...]

I recently stumbled upon a video in my Facebook newsfeed, and my friend's tagline 'I hope I don't come off like this' going with it, drew in my attention. In the video a girl, who has just returned from another exotic destination, visits her friend's home and meets two of his friends. While they question her about why she travels and how she's even able to a[...]
