Bucket List

Bucket lists. What are they, why do we make them?

“Intern”-ational Travellers

I’d apologise for the pun in the title but I’d be lying. It has now been four weeks abroad, and safe to say that as much as I love Mumbai, I miss home. But thank goodness for the others I’m on this trip with, because we have managed to create a sense of home here,…Continue Reading “Intern”-ational Travellers

Life in Saigon

The human mind is incredible in its ability to adapt.
