Home for Christmas

I’ve spent Christmas away from home in the past as part of my travels, and although an interesting experience, I must admit I’m happy to be home this year for the festivities. It’s at times like these that you have time to reflect on what’s important to you most. I’m not a religious person in [...]

How to pick the right type of travel insurance for your trip

With the new year coming up, I always notice people around this time of year either heading out on their Gap Year/career break, or making travel related resolutions to head out on that trip of a lifetime they’ve always been dreaming of. Sometimes in the excitement of planning or thinking about your upcoming trip it [...]

Frustrations of a travel blogger

The internet moves fast, but big business it seems moves slow (at least that’s how it feels to me sometimes.) We just have to look at something like the music industry to see how big corporations, and major record companies go dragging their feet at any change of format when it comes to how people [...]

The story of how I became a full-time travel blogger

When I think about how much travel I have done this past year, I have to pinch myself sometimes. Not about the fact that I have been travelling so much, but that all of my travels since I started this blog have been paid for through money I have earned from Runaway Jane. I don’t say this to boast. [...]

Where do you call home?

Today feels very good. I decided to change my flight to come back to Madrid two days early. It cost me an extra 80 Euros, but to be honest, I couldn’t be happier. Sometimes it’s worth spending more for a bit of happiness. I really liked Bucharest a lot. In fact, I found Eastern Europe [...]

How to deal with heartbreak as you travel

Relationships form and end so quickly while you are travelling that you could easily go through more relationships in one summer abroad than you may have had in your entire life. When you put a bunch of young, good looking, care free backpackers together in one place you are bound to have sparks fly. Then, [...]

On-Peak Season Vs Off-Peak Season

Travelling during the on peak and off peak seasons can leave differentiating results when you’re a traveller. It doesn’t matter what continent or country you are travelling in, if you’re there during peak time your experience can be very different to being there during the off peak seasons. Both have high and low points, and it’s good [...]

Where did your travel bug come from?

All my adult life I have been bitten by the travel bug. In fact, technically it started 4 months before I was even legally an adult. I have it pinned down to one exact date and location – May 23rd, 2006. Melbourne Airport. That was the date and place I arrived into after departing on a flight half way around the world, on [...]
