This is my third year in review blogpost. I really enjoy doing these little round-ups, it’s fair to say this year had its challenges.

I thought I knew what grief felt like. When I was 9 I lost my Grandad (Dad’s dad), 2 weeks after that I lost my Nan (mum’s step-mum) and then 3 months after that my parents split up. I was very close to my Grandad, in my mind he was perfect and I think about him all the time. I always wonder how different my life would be if he was still around.

This is my second year in review blogpost. It’s a really nice way of reviewing the year, and remembering the stuff I’ve got up to.

Bullet pointed notes of an amazing week sailing around Desolation Sound in BC, Canada

It’s bonkers to think how quickly your life can change. On Saturday 15th June, I was in the bike park with Adam and Tom. 3 turns in and I go over the handlebars on my bike. Press to read more.

So it’s official I’m taking a 3 month from tech. Well, not the tech world completely as I’ll be doing lots of codebar work during this time. But the day-to-day work life of coding I’m taking a break from.

I’ve never done a year review before, however this year so much has happened that I wanted to write it all down so I can look back and smile.

One of the reasons I decided to stay in Split for 7 weeks was because I knew it gave me easy access to many beautiful places around Croatia. Both islands and mainland! From Split you can get to Hvar, Broč or Vis islands very easily. As well as getting to beautiful little towns like Primošten, Trigor or Sibenik AND places like Krka waterfalls and Plitvice lakes.

I’ve always been someone who wouldn’t think twice about doing something on their own. But travelling brought a whole new dimension to doing things alone.

I’ve been remote working for 2 years now, and it took me a while to realise what software makes that process easier and what ones don’t. Without certain software working remote would be impossible. In this post I’ll run you through what I use.

Whistler is known all around the world for its world class skiing and snowboarding. It is the largest ski resort in North America, but what happens when the snow starts to melt?

As a follow up to my remote working post I thought I’d write a post discussing a few things I think companies and teams can do to improve the experience for remote workers.

When I tell people I travel and work full-time the first thing I get asked is how do I make sure that I actually do work? In this post I’m going to explain a few little things I do to keep myself motivated.

I’ve been pretty quiet over the last few months, I went back to London for 3.5 months and being in London is always super busy. My sister had a baby too so I was going back to Southampton to see them and get lots of cuddles, and in the new year I moved onto my next location. All this meant that this lil blog had to take a back seat :( but I’m back with a post about something that is very close to my heart. FOOD!!!

After 2 years of travelling light I’ve learnt a thing or two, in this post I’m going to focus on a few travel hacks I’ve learnt along the way.

This post isn’t going to be like my normal ones, this one is more of a diary entry so I don’t forget what happened in Miami. I also needed to write it down so that once everything had died down I could reflect on what happened properly.

If you’re an adult and someone says to you "Why are you visiting Disney World, isn’t it for children?", punch them in the face. Nah I’m joking don’t punch them in the face, send them this article instead about how Disney World it totally for adults too.

So Adam and I have been on the road for a year now and I feel like I need to write down some of my experiences and thoughts. I particularly want to talk about some parts of travelling that people never talk about.

One of the hardest parts of travelling is finding the perfect work and life balance. When you’re moving country every 1/2 months it can be extremely difficult. You want to explore the new and exciting place you’re in, but also you need to work.

I have been in the mountain for 3 months now and I can safely say I love it. Having always lived in cities I did wonder how I would find being in a fairly small place where you walk down the one main street and always see the same faces. But with views like this, what is there not to love.

Ever since I visited London at the age of 8 I adored it. You will always be exploring and finding new places but I fell out of love with it.

When I initially set out to write this post I wanted to write about all the reasons why you should visit Istanbul ASAP. However after some thought I realised that that was not the direction I wanted this post to go in. Instead, I have decided to write about all the incredible things about one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited as you may only be seeing negative stories in the news.

One of the hardest things I’ve found about travelling is fitting in exercise. I feel better after exercising, it clears my mind. It’s me time and that’s what I missed.

During our time in Berlin there was one place we wanted to visit but never got round to it, Dresden. A small city 120 miles south of Berlin.

One of my favourite things about Berlin is its history. Yes Berlin has many museums, and is very well known for it’s clubbing reputation. But one of the things that intrigues me the most are the abandoned parts you’ll find hidden around the city.

I have been in Berlin for 7 weeks, it has gone ridiculously quick and I have loved almost every moment. I remember someone saying before I left the UK that I would learn more about UK culture once I’d gone. I didn’t quiet fully understand what they meant at the time, but now I do.

That’s how all nomad blogs should start right?
