💕 I think I was just born with a heart that aches for adventure.
😉 Can anyone else relate?
...
💦 Luckily, I’ve been able to get my fix even in lockdown, even on a tiny island in the English Channel!
...
🌓 Cave explorings and cliff top clambers, sea swimmings and wildlife spottings, sunset snappings and full moon howlings...

🌱 Another day, another adventure, another Jersey

I honestly never appreciated how much there was to do in the tiny island where I was brought up.... until this 2020 lockdown business!
And I’ve never felt more grateful for this small rock in the English Channel either!
To have spent the last 4 months here has been the perfect time to travel back to my roots.
...
Have you been (re)discovering more where you live too?

Looking to the future... It’s been a tough one so far, old 2020. But sometimes we need to learn some hard lessons. Hoping this year can teach us to be a little kinder, and a little more considerate, both to each other and our beautiful planet.

Would you consider travelling this summer (or Aussie / NZ winter) if regulations allow?
...
Yes - internationally
Yes - domestically
No

Would love to know how you’re feeling and what the travel vibes are out there.
Let me know with your comment below...

Caught in the action...Samoa 2019!
Just y’know some casual swimming in a Pacific Ocean Trench.
It’s basically a natural salty rainforest pool.
Pretty cool.
...
Look ‘rona, if you ruin everything and I never get to travel again, safe to say I had an absolute blast while I could!
...
Disclaimer. Do not actually think corona will stop future travel. ... Will it?
It won’t.
Sure?
Umm yeah.

There’s just something about the beach. ... Perh

There’s just something about the beach. ...
Perhaps it’s because I grew up on a small island where the sea was never more than 10 minutes away.
...
Or because I spent a year living under a palm tree on an island off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. ...
Or because the apartment I lived in when I was in Queensland, Australia had a view of whales and dolphins cruising by.
...
But whatever the reason, the beach is my happy place, the space where I feel most relaxed, which just screams HOLIDAY to me.
...
Thankfully I can still access the coast now in lockdown. And although it doesn’t look anything near as blissful as Malaysia’s Perhentian Islands (where this snap was taken exactly a year ago) I’m still pretty damn grateful to be near it.
...
There’s many reasons I loved my time in Malaysia (hello delicious vegetarian Indian food), but the stunning islands of this country definitely rank pretty high on the list! If you’re a scuba diver, they are a must!
...
Anyway, just doing some post-covid travel daydreaming here!
What sort of landscape screams HOLIDAY day dream to you? Mountains, city, desert or the coast too?

The moods of lockdown.
It’s a rollercoaster ride.
Trying to bring a bit of #travelnottravel into my life to balance things out.
Not sure it’s worked! Anyone else feeling as up and down as me? ...

Hard to believe I was hiking through the incredible desert landscapes of Morocco just 2 weeks ago without a care in the world!
...
How things can change in an instant.
And how often we find we aren’t grateful for what we had, until it‘s gone. ...
I’m sure that, like me, you are still reeling from the hectic day by day chaos that unfolds around us but, in the midst of it all, hopefully we can find the resilience to be grateful for the things we still have.
...
I hope for you and all your families that means good health and comfort right now.
...
Freedom and travel will be ours to enjoy again in future, but right now it’s time to stay home and stay safe.
Our future travels depend on it!
...
Tell me, where are you all hunkering down?

No denying, things are pretty scary out there in t

No denying, things are pretty scary out there in the travel world at the minute, which is why I was glad to get to the coast in Morocco, take some time to stop, feel the sand between my toes, stare at the watery horizon, relax in the sun and have some time to think.
…
An amazing budget travel destination for those looking for some winter sun coupled with cultural curiosity, Agadir and the surrounding surfy beach towns are ideal when it comes to catching a few rays for less, and are just a few hours flight from many European countries including the UK.
…
Which is why, when Morocco started closing its borders, I was thankfully in the right place to make the right decision, before I didn’t have a choice anymore. And that decision was to the return to the UK, to be with my friends and family at this unpredictable time.
…
After so many months of planning, preparing and pledging for the most epic trip, no one is more disappointed to face this reality than me. Yet disappointment is also a chance to practice the truisms we claim to live by, especially those about having the bravery to change the things within our control and having the wisdom to accept the things that aren’t.
…
There’s also an important lesson about the privilege we have as travellers here, respecting that privilege and enjoying it responsibly. So until we’re in a place where that’s once again a reality, and I can once again return to the glorious warmth and wonder of Morocco (which I hope will be soon soon soon), it’s time to practice what I preach.
…
Here’s hoping you are all staying well and safe out there too and that we can all get back to enjoying the freedom again we have been so lucky to live.
