Bangkok, ThailandSome people collect stamps and postcards, I collect pictures of beautiful starbucks outlets around the world. Sound about right? Perhaps this is my starbucks addiction taken to a new level, but when I passed the Starbucks outlet in The 49 Terrace, Bangkok, I just had to pop in for a quick coffee stop… MakeContinue reading #2039 | Stunning Starbucks Showoff: Thong Lor, Bangkok
Tioman, MalaysiaHey guys, So, over one of the weekends in September I finally fulfilled one of my bucket list items and got my PADI Open Water Divers License.

Isle of Skye, ScotlandHalloooo everyone! Back again with yet another travel post to end off the extremely transnational week I’ve had – because why stop when you’re on a roll right?

I prefer my day to day life regulated, with reliable transport, data, and stimulation: addicted to the grid, I am 100% a city girl. But occasionally I get cajoled into trying new things, and so my firstContinue reading #2029 | Upstate New York: Roadtripping to Catskills
New York, AmericaOh, New York. This Spring marked my third time in New York, the city of my dreams.

What is with my new obsession with pink and parkas? It’s like I went back ten years to my high school sense of fashion, which was basically all pink everything, and all the time. I got this parka off a random online site, at some ridiculously low price, and have been wearing it to death.Continue reading #2026 | Jurassic Parka
Gold Coast, AustraliaMy first brush with Gold Coast was at the tender age of ten; I remember the beach, the koala sanctuary, and the new pen pal i made at the hotel’s breakfast buffet table, who never replied any of my letters. Ah! Bittersweet memories, that. Fast forward fourteen years and I felt my heartContinue reading #2022 | Absolute favourite things to do in Gold Coast
Sydney, Australia Airbnb/jemmaYet another one to add to my list of interesting slash unique Airbnb finds.

The great thing about globalisation, IContinue reading #2019| Jemma for Airbnb: Sydney Warehouse Livin
