Over the past two years, while we’ve been back in the UK, we’ve flirted with dozens of different possibilities about what the next step may be for us. We’ve eyed up working as a chalet couple in Italy, camp counselling in the US, teaching English in China or even trying to find work on the [...]  Unlike most people, I had far more control over my spending at 18 than I do now at 24. Back then my waitressing wage didn’t stretch too far and I was determined to put every possible penny away for my travels. Now at 24 I find myself with more disposable income, yet also more spending [...] This is the 9th in the series of ‘5o steps around the world series‘ Sometime around February I’d been browsing a charity shop when a dress caught my eye.

It would mean more responsibility, more money, more promotion opportunities and more stability. All of this in the field in which I [...] At the end of April Alan and I are going on a much needed holiday. While we’ve been away separately since we returned from Thailand, we haven’t been abroad together in over a year and we’re feeling the draw of the sun, sand and sea. So we settled on Cyprus as a destination which was [...] The Statue of Liberty I hadn’t particularly been looking forward to going to New York last weekend. Not that I didn’t want to go, simply as it’s somewhere I have been twice before, I might have chosen somewhere different for a weekend away. However, seeing as the excuse (rather flimsy as it was) was to [...] I haven’t yet had the chance to write about my trip to New York.
