My Travel Story

I am a 26 year old girl living in the North-East of Scotland and for the past few years I have been feeling the urge to change and up lift my world, step out of my comfort zone and travel around the world and experience new cultures.

I have recently been hit with the biggest wakeup call in my life....it has shaken me up to rethink, what am I doing with me life? Why am I not doing anything about my dreams and aspirations?

As much as I love my friends, family, work and surroundings I have been here for too long, I am not in my perfect job or even my dream job, it’s just somewhere to get me into the working world and earn money. So what am I doing wasting time being here when I could be out experiencing the world, earn money somewhere I have never been too and have the best time of my life.


I am held back, like many other people, by finances. While I know some who could save for 2 months and go away for the year while I would have to save for the whole year for less time travelling. This is why I come to here, the platform where there are people out there to help folks like me.

I will be throughout my travelling experience be writing a journey diary, somewhere where I will write down all my highs, lows, laughter, love and everything in-between of what I will get up to. The places you will hear about will be in Thailand – Trekking the hills of Chiang Mai, Bangkok, volunteering with the Thai Community on Koh Samui, Koh Tao Island then off to Sydney, Australia to live in a hostel and independently work and travel to wherever life takes me.



This is my time to spread my wings, become the person everyone thinks I am and follow my dreams. You are never too old to do what you want. This is my life and I am now ready to live it.

 

Thank you and much love to you all
