  • Introducing Sustainable Fashion Brand: Organic Basics

    If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen I’ve recently been wearing some of Organic Basics stuff. Sustainable fashion has been in the spotlight recently – and for good reason. People are starting to uncover the true facts of the fast fashion industry, and are realising just how detrimental it is to the environment. […]

  • Comfort meets Sustainability at Reflections Eco Reserve | Where to stay in Wilderness, South Africa

    Arriving at Reflections Eco Reserve Pulling up in the darkness, we weren’t sure Google Maps had led us to the right place. A winding dirt track led us through the reserve; dimly lit, we hadn’t topped 40 km/ph in case adventurous tortoises wandered onto the road. But in front of us was a post with […]

  • Vegan Options in Peterborough, UK | Best Vegan Restaurants & Menus

    With veganism firmly on the rise in the UK, I thought it was about time I share my favourite places offering vegan options in Peterborough. I often share my take on vegan restaurants when I’m abroad (Warsaw, Prague and Italy are winners in my book) so why not write about the options on offer in […]

  • How to go to Glastonbury Festival if you don’t get a ticket – A guide to working and volunteering at Glastonbury

    Oh Glasto. One of the biggest and the best (in my opinion) music festival in the world. In my opinion (and if you’re reading this post you’ll probably agree with me), there’s not better way to spend a long weekend than in a field, on a farm, surrounded by other festival-goes, drinking a can of […]

  • OrganiCup Review: 3 months using a Menstrual Cup

    It took me a good few months to gear myself up to use the Organicup. The whole sticking-a-silicon-cup-up-your-vagina thing made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I thought menstrual cups were for hippies and couldn’t understand why I would ever want to change from tampons, which I had used since my second ever period when I […]

  • Eating Vegan In Italy Guide

    Eating Vegan in Italy… a seemingly impossible task… I recently returned from a long weekend in Trento, in the region of Trentino in the Northwest of Italy. Before visiting, I was a little apprehensive. This was only my second time visiting Italy since deciding to go vegan in 2016 – and I’ll admit, the last […]

  • 6 Reasons to Visit Bucharest + Travel Guide

    I arrived in Bucharest with no expectations and departed feeling blown away by this city. Romania’s capital had never really been on my wander-list, but without good reason. I was indifferent about travelling to this country, perhaps because I knew so little about it. But You guys know I’m into sustainable travel. Bucharest is a […]

  • 11 Must-Visit Photo Spots in Bucharest, Romania

    Bucharest is a gorgeous city, full of history and beautiful architecture – and therefore loads of amazing photo spots! I realised after being in the city for only a matter of minutes that I would need to keep my camera fully charged for the duration of my trip. Luckily I’d packed spare batteries and an […]

  • My love-hate relationship with cheap flights

    I’ve mentioned a few times on this blog that I love cheap flights. However, I don’t know whether that’s strictly true anymore. A couple of years ago I managed to get a return flight to Menorca (a Spanish Baleaeric Island in the Mediterranean) for just £20. I had an amazing six days in the sun […]

  • Plastic Free Travel Tips: 5 Easy Swaps You Should Have Already Made

    The Attenborough effect is something of a phenomenon at the moment. After Blue Planet 2, where Sir David Attenborough showed us so explicitly just how much harm plastic does to our environment, people seem to be picking up that it really is time to break away from ease and normality, instead opting for more sustainable […]
