HAPPY BIRTHDAY @kowpowwww! The fam misses you! Keep doing what you're doing, the world needs your music and your sourdough bread. And if it all goes to shit, I'm always only a plane ride away. 💖
When I went on my first solo backpacking trip, I saw a painting of Edith by Egon Schiele in a museum in St Petersburg. His brush strokes and colours blew my mind and I made a mental note to visit Vienna to learn more about this man. 3 years later, I finally made it to the Leopold Museum where they were commemorating the 100th year of his death (a bunch of really talented people died in 1918, Gustav Klimt too). . A whole floor was dedicated to his life and his work so I spent my Sunday afternoon getting lost in his world. There are a couple of Gustav's paintings here as well. ;) . . . . . . . #art #egonreloaded #vienna #austria #slowtravel #nomad
Day dreaming about beach clubs and the sea in #Mexico when I should be writing about something techy for work. . . . . . . #seaside #beachtown #beach #digitalnomad #travelblogger #travel
Going through my photos and finding gems from the summer. Missing my little weirdo.
Slowly blending into my surroundings while scrambling down a mountain before the sun sets completely. Happy to have squeezed in a hike before summer completely disappeared. Can you spot the moon? 🌜 . . . . . . #Switzerland #remoteworklife #rookiehiker #mountains #autumn🍁 #slowtravel #explore
Who would've thought my second dive experience would happen in Mexico with the lovely @gypsea_lu??? Certainly not 18 year old me. . . . . . . #scubadivinggirls #mexico #playadelcarmen #ocean #blue #diving #travel #remoteworklife
I forgot how cold and rainy London can get. Take me back to the Caribbean please. . . . . . #mexico #yucatan #island #sea #clouds #slowtravel #solofemaletraveller #nofilterneeded
I got up at 6.35am to be picked up by the Oxxo (convenient store) 2 minutes from my building. I was in awe at how brilliant the Mayans were and was lucky enough to see this wonder with my own eyes. . Gutted to leave Mexico so soon. . . . . . #mexico #digitalnomad #slowtravel #remoteworklife #nofilter #7wondersoftheworld #clouds #explore #BMTambassador
I had the strangest time in Tulum. After hearing people rave about it, I thought I'd go and see this place for myself, alone. It's stunning and lazing by the beach was incredible... . But I also spent two out of my three nights sketched out and paranoid because of the men I encountered and the little Spanish I spoke. . This is me, recovering from a paranoid night after two men followed me as I headed downtown to get dinner. Despite it all, I decided to extend my stay by a day to head to the ruins and boy, was it worth it. My last day turned out beautifully and I walked away with a glorious tan, a great meal and a new friend. . To be honest, I probably won't return to this place alone. If you're a solo female traveller, be prepared to pay for a lot of taxi rides to get to your destination safe. . . . . . #solofemaletraveller #digitalnomad #remotework #slowtravel #mexico #beachtown #seaside #yucatan #travel #explore #befuckingbrave
