Today was the day! After two months of planning, it was time to begin our adventure! Having rattled our way to Heathrow T4 on the Tube, we made the most of my BA Bronze status to skip the check in queue and drop our bags. We flew with Malaysian Airlines this time, owing to them…

Following on shortly after exploring Yosemite and San Francisco, I was heading back to the USA. This time however was a work trip and couldn’t have been much further from California. I was heading to Boston, home of the American Revolution (at least that is what they claim) and I was heading there for a…

The plan for day 2 was simple, visit Alcatraz. Which worked out well because it was due to rain. One of the benefits of our hostel was that breakfast was included, meaning I could eat cinnamon and raisin bagels to my stomach’s content. Once full, we headed down to the harbour to catch our boat out…

Coming straight from Yosemite National Park, San Francisco was an urban maze waiting to be explored. Whilst in San Francisco, we were hostelling (to help save $$) which worked out quite well. Our exploration began by walking to the Bay front from the hostel so we could hire bikes for a day of exploring. Now,…

Standing on the balcony welcoming the day, I couldn’t help but feel excited for today’s adventure. Today we were tackling a hike up to the top of the iconic Yosemite Falls, a hike described as strenuous at the…

Now, I’ll start this by making you aware that whilst I like a hike, I am by no means accomplished when it comes to exploring nature. Why am I telling you this? Well, it explains why we stuck to well marked single day trails when exploring Yosemite. Were I to get the chance to visit…

For a trip based around work meetings, this was going to be an exciting time abroad! Despite having visited Helsinki multiple times before, I had never been further north and so venturing up into Lapland was thrilling. As you’ll come to see, flying is one of my greatest pleasures. I will happily hop onto a…
