I'm in love. How beautiful are these landscapes where it's winter up in the mountains but autumn amongst the trees? Where the air is so fresh but not too cold and all you can hear is the leaves rustling from just a slight wind. I've never seen anything quite like it... This was possibly my …
A Change in Season with the Lone Elk
I've just come back from a short drive around a few of mine and Jonny's favourite local spots in the national park. Today is definitely one of the first days where you can feel the shift between seasons in your bones. The leaves are starting to toast into beautiful yellow and auburn tones but there's …
Here’s to an unforgettable summer

The ultimate Canadian bucket list
Thought I'd accumulate a Canadian bucket list seeing as I'll be living there for for a while.

Not only do they make you feel like you've got your shit together in your day-to-day life, …
First time travelling solo

A letter to 2017
I haven't written since August, no blogpost, no articles, no features. Even writing this feels slightly alien, maybe with every word it'll become more familiar. I'm not particularly sure why, I wrote so much prior to summer but somewhere in-between juggling a full time masters and a full time internship writing started becoming a chore, …
