Most of you know I love a good sunset. I could honestly sit and watch one every night and be completely amazed each and every time at how the colours fill the sky. There have been less than 5 times that I have seen a sunset that has left me in complete awe, feeling a unique sensation running through my body; a feeling of complete appreciation and gratitude. A feeling of being completely present in the moment.
This right here was one of those moments. I sat here as the sky became more and more colourful and watched closely as the river lit up from the reflections. The houses turning a warm shade of pink as the sun began to drop. I sat in good company, together mesmerised at the incredible sight before our eyes. Together we appreciated being alive.

Although your plans may not have gone the way you wanted, that doesn’t mean that you still can’t enjoy the little things around you. I didn’t plan on coming here, but now that I’m here I’m trying to take advantage of what this place has to offer, and I hope you can do the same 🌍
P.s. Shoot at a lower angle to make your legs look taller. Anyone who knows me knows I’m only 5”2 😋

The is quite possibly my favourite thing about Bali, besides the waterfalls, oh and the food, the people, the 50c beer, yeah I could go on. But in all seriousness, you can find so many swimming pools that are perfectly located in the middle of the rice fields, surrounded by palm trees and no sound other than the birds chirping. These infinity pools are so peaceful and the best part? You can eat dessert in this exact spot! I sat here eating my chocolate soufflé and in that moment, everything was perfect.

As you’ll probably know, Singapore is one of the most expensive cities in the world and if you are travelling on a budget you may be skeptical about visiting. I know I was.
Many people I know are already itching to get back out and explore the world again. I imagine things will be different now. I imagine many people will be scared to travel or those who do want to go may have limited funds to do so.
I made it my mission to go to Singapore on a real budget and see how many things I could get away with doing without splashing the cash and I was pleasantly surprised. I wanted to prove to people that travelling doesn’t have to be expensive. I have written a blog post (linked in my bio) to show you how to visit Singapore with only S$30 a day!
This blog is perfect for anyone who is on a budget and wants to go explore this amazing city! This street is called Haji Lane and is completely free to visit! I’ve included more information in my blog 😍

Front row SEAt for a precious sunset 🥰
The 4000 Islands in the south of Laos were the perfect spot to watch the sunset, every single night without fail. The colours lit up the whole sky and reflected on the water creating a giant bubble bursting of colour! I live for good sunsets and I would happily re-Live this moment again.

I’m 26! ⭐️ Actually I realised that I was 26 on the 26th and that coincidence will never happen again 😱 I’m back from travelling earlier than expected but the sun is still shining, my skin is still glowing and I have a beer in hand so I can’t really complain.

Anyone who has had a #quarantinebirthday over the last few months will know how strange it is not being able to hug your loved ones, but I felt extremely loved nonetheless. A big thank you to everyone who messaged me and a special thank you to everyone here who came to sing to me (from a distance!).

It’s my first time spending Kings Day in the correct country and there’s no one in sight 😫 I am slightly gutted as I have always wanted to join in with the Dutch madness and love any excuse for a fancy dress. The Dutch are known for crazy traditions and this is one of them. For the King’s birthday, the entire country gets dressed up in orange clothing and accessories and party all day. Unfortunately Rona cancelled the festivities so the ‘subtle’ orange bow will have to do this year. The worst part: I was one of only two people wearing orange today 😂

I want to share a ⭐️HAPPY STORY⭐️with you in order to spread some positivity amidst the current chaos.
*
*
This is grandma elephant and although completely blind, she is the alpha of the pack. The purple marks on her skin is a medicine that is rubbed on her daily to help cure the wounds she has endeavoured from a lifetime of suffering. She was previously owned by people who treated her badly, allowed people to ride her, abuse her, but fortunately she was saved by this incredible Elephant Sanctuary, and she is happy now. She is retiring in a safe place that feeds her lots of watermelon and cucumber. She prefers the watermelon 😜
*
*
Despite the hard times, she didn’t give up and now she is living the life that she deserves. She takes daily mud baths and meets lots of elephant lovers who help her find her food by putting it on the tip of her trunk.

For anyone feeling stressed or anxious right now about what’s to come, I highly recommend taking 30mins-1hour each day to practice yoga. Every time I feel incredibly stressed and I take myself to a class, or do it at home, I allow myself to feel completely safe for an entire hour. I allow myself to express my emotions and deal with them in a positive way.
*
*
When in uncomfortable and difficult situations, our fight or flight hormones kick in. The natural human response is to get out of the situation as quick as possible. Yin Yoga focuses on holding deep stretches for a long period of time. The idea is to learn how to breathe through the pain, to learn how to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.
*
*
I have not had time over the last few days because I have been running around like a looney and I can feel the impact it has had on my mind and body.
*
*
Today I’m sharing a picture from a few weeks ago when I got into the sea at night, walking into the unknown. Walking into the dark waters with no idea what was beneath me yet trusting that everything would be okay. That’s the feeling we should all be looking for right now.
*
*
Whatever it is that makes you feel safe, find it, and do it, daily. Watching the sunset makes me happy and if that means making sure I’m sat by my window every night waiting to watch it, then so be it.

It hasn’t felt right posting on my feed over the last few days with all the drama going on around the world. At first we all thought it was something that wouldn’t affect us, yet it has had a huge impact and even on the travel industry. I’m currently sat in Bangkok trying to figure out what to do next and reminiscing over the last 4 months of incredible adventures. I still can’t get over the colour of this waterfall from our visit to Laos!
*
*
I hope you are all safe and managing to cope with the chaos as much as possible. I’m pretty stressed tbh as I’ve had a rough couple of days but hopefully things will sort themselves out soon.

Coronavirus is really stirring things up isn’t it! Mum & dad are on complete lock down at home in the Canaries, only one person is allowed to leave the house at a time. Flights are being cancelled, people are panic buying. I read something the other day which said, “for Coronavirus not to spread, other people need to also be able to wash their hands!”. Now isn’t a time to be selfish but to also think about those around you.
*
*
And well who knows where I’m going to end up getting stuck. I have to leave Bali in order to renew my visa and that couldn’t be expiring at a worse time to be honest. I may end up in involuntary quarantine next week but for now I’m just going to enjoy the fact that I can be in a beautiful part of the world ☀️

Climbing up to the top of the John-Suwan viewpoint was a short 15 minutes, but pretty tough. Of course I had my flip flops on so I had to scramble my way up, at some points on my hands and knees. The view from the top was worth the trek however.
*
*
The island of Koh Tao really surprised me with its beauty. It turns out there is a lot of bad press around it due to recent murders and random deaths of various tourists but I’ll be honest, I hadn’t heard anything about it until I actually arrived. I’m glad I didn’t have the faintest clue as I got to see the island with an open mind and heart, and I loved it.
*
*
It was funny when @millierickwardd & @piercestokes told me about the murders, whispering as quietly as possible so the mafia wouldn’t know that they knew 😂 An old man walked into the sea mid-story and we all froze, just in case! They’ll probably remove this tag to avoid exposure haha!!
*
*
In all seriousness, Koh Tao is a divers paradise with an incredibly colourful underwater world. If you don’t like snorkelling or diving, there are plenty of beaches and viewpoints to explore. I have written a blog post on the best things to do on the island, how much things cost, where to stay and the easiest way to get there. Check out the link in my bio to give it a read.

Let’s take a walk on the wild side 😋
*
*
This moment is one of my favourites to date. I spent the afternoon at an elephant sanctuary that have rescued 4 elephants from abusive situations and are giving them a safe place to retire.
*
*
This elephant is the “grandma” of the herd. She is blind, yet has established herself as the ‘alpha’ elephant - what a boss. She has a tumor on the side of her left leg, but isn’t currently in any pain.
*
*
Getting this close to an elephant is an incredibly humbling experience. These giants are so strong, yet so gentle. Walking alongside grandma elephant and giving her some cut grass has been a highlight of my year so far, if not my life.

Kuang si Falls were an absolute treat to visit. I have never seen a waterfall this blue before (it really is this blue!) and there are multiple falls to swim in. The water was freezing cold and I chickened out jumping from the tree. It turns out I walked straight past a sign that said 'No jumping - water is too shallow' so I guess fate happened that day.
*
*
Laos really took me by surprise. I have always wanted to go as I have some weird obsession with waterfalls and pretty landscapes but I didn't realise how impressed I'd be with the country as a whole. The people are amazing, the streets are clean, the transport systems are modern and comfortable (the roads not so much! 😂) and the views are insane. I learned to speak some basic Lao while there and my new favourite word is 'Kopchai Lai Lai' meaning thank you. Everytime I pull a sentence together I can't help but smile 🙈
