How to Start a Travel Blog. Lauren in The Media. Where I’ve Been. Writing How Not to Travel the World. 11 Things I Did Wrong When Writing My Travel Memoir. July 22, 2015. My journey through the intimidating world of publishing has been just as unconventional as my life. My experience was a rollercoaster ride of euphoria and terror, and I can’t believe I’m now less than three weeks away from being a published author. First up: everything I did wrong! Timing, Timing, Timing. If I could do it again, I’...

Two Days on Inle Lake: The Good, the Bad, the Big Fat Cheroot
http://whatsdavedoing.com/two-days-inle-lake-good-bad-cheroot
CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. Two Days on Inle Lake: The Good, the Bad and the Big Fat Cheroot. March 24, 2015. At least a dozen backpackers had got out of our bus from Bagan a few days earlier, but none had joined us on the van ride to Inle Lake. A three day trek was the preferred method, but with Lauren still fighting bouts of mono, we’d opted for the motorised option instead. We set out looking for. Like, say, the walk back into town. Angling to make the most out of our limited ti...

Equilibrio Festival • El Salvador: Under The Sun • Alex in Wanderland
http://www.alexinwanderland.com/2015/05/17/future-clear-equilibrio-festival-part-i
Equilibrio Festival El Salvador: Under The Sun. Festivals, it seems, have become somewhat of a passion of mine. I’ve made my way now to several around the world Burning Man. In the Nevada desert, Tomorrowland. In a Belgian neverland, Sunjam. On the shores of Honduras, Mardi Gras. In the heart of New Orleans, and Batabano in the streets of Grand Cayman, to name a few. But never have I felt so much a part of something as I did at Equilibrio. As the name of the festival suggests, at its core, Equilibrio is ...

http://www.alexinwanderland.com/2015/05/08/el-cuco-el-salvador
Beachfront Bliss: Kicking Back in El Cuco. And then came Equilibrio. First, I want to tell you about the beach town of El Cuco. When I first arrived, Equilibrio seemed like a distant future — it was just us, the sand, and the surf. Alex in Wanderland regular Zoe. Arrived not long after me, and with our offers to help met with smiling shrugs that everything was under control, we had plenty of time to explore all that El Cuco has to offer. As far as travelers are concerned, El Cuco. Zoe and I split one of ...

Listening to John
http://whatsdavedoing.com/listening-john
CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. January 3, 2015. And so this is Christmas. And what have we done? A new one just begun. I’ve always loved John Lennon’s anti-war ode to the holiday season. It’s a sign Christmas is coming, with all that entails, and the lyrics get me thinking about what’s happened in the last twelve months and what lies ahead. It’s been coming for a while, but here at the start of 2015, I find myself at a bit of a crossroads. Here’s why. Not a permanent base, but a somet...

Let's Go! Volcano Boarding in León • Alex in Wanderland
http://www.alexinwanderland.com/2015/05/05/volcano-boarding-in-nicaragua
Volcano Boarding in León. Long before I ever booked a flight to Nicaragua, there was one activity I knew I’d be signing up for: volcano boarding. Like partying at Sunday Funday in San Juan del Sur. Volcano boarding in León is just one of those things backpackers go, do, and get the t-shirt for — literally. Though you could book the excursion anywhere around town, I went with the original — Bigfoot Hostel. I was up for a. Exercise, I said. It was an incredibly hot day and the black volcanic rock we were c...

Photo of the Week 204: Island Style. Photos of the Week. Is it just me or it does it feel like it’s been ages? Due to some behind-the-scenes technical difficulties (apologies to those who have tried to check in and found the site down! I’m a little behind on posting this week.

Why Taiwan is Still My Favourite Country
http://www.neverendingfootsteps.com/2015/07/09/why-taiwan-is-still-my-favourite-country
How to Start a Travel Blog. Lauren in The Media. Where I’ve Been. Why Taiwan is Still My Favourite Country. July 9, 2015. The first steps I ever took in Asia were in Taiwan. And, within 24 hours of arriving, I had already declared it my favourite country. Even now, almost four years on, I still get hit by that wave of euphoria whenever I step foot on my favourite continent. But even now, I’ve never felt it as strongly as that first day in Taiwan. And then I was nervous. What if Taiwan was. Here’s w...

Tulum and the Best Beach Ever
http://www.neverendingfootsteps.com/2015/07/24/tulum-and-the-best-beach-ever
How to Start a Travel Blog. Lauren in The Media. Where I’ve Been. Tulum and the Best Beach Ever. July 24, 2015. Whenever I visit a new beach, I can’t help but compare it to some of the incredible ones I’ve had the fortune of visiting so far. As much as I battle to retain my childlike excitement when checking out somewhere new, a small part of me is always a little disappointed if it doesn’t live up to expectations. And for Tulum, my expectations were sky high. A shared minivan) just a few moments later.
