Today’s post was written by Femke Gow. Namibia, Africa, is located on the south-west coast and stretches across a vast landscape of natural beauty. The Etosha National Park is found within Namibia’s borders and is home to a number of elephants who stroll around the shrubs and grassy plains located here. These animals have gradually […]

(Above: How I felt with my journey all planned out!) Less than a week ago I was in Poland, about to depart for Russia, when I made the spur of the moment decision to take some time out from this planned adventure to go on a spontaneous one. This may sound crazy to some people, […]
All this week I’ll be running a competition on RunawayJane.com with two prizes up for grabs courtesy of Christine Gilbert from AlmostFearless.com. Christine is giving away 2 of her new ebooks – 1 copy of the Visa Book (US Citizen Version), and 1 copy of Crash Course In Getting A Job In A Cruise Ship. […]
Today’s post was written by Femke Gow. If you’re looking for diversity, BC Canada is without a doubt the place to be. I have come to believe that there is not a single activity that can’t be done somewhere in the British Columbia; from surfing to backcountry skiing, to afternoon tea in a floral display […]

Although this is a massively sweeping statement, these islands are visually nothing short of God’s creations. The most popular destination for tourists is the […]
This may sound like a harsh question or point to make, but after experiencing a screaming baby for the entire 4 hours of my trip down from Edinburgh to London, followed by 2 screaming toddlers sitting 3 rows behind me on the following journey from London to Paris (all by train), I feel I am justified for at least […]

I embarked on my largest and most adventure-filled trip to date on Saturday. The first part of which will see me travelling from Edinburgh to Beijing without taking a single flight. After months of talking about it, a few unexpected jaunts through Europe in the mean time, and much umming and ahhing about whether I […]
