Travel Update: New Departure Date and Trip Planning Panic

How to Plan for Long Term Travel | The Wayfarer Diaries

Initially, I had intended to leave England to travel the world in March 2013. My contract at my current job ends on February 28th, so I decided I would work until then and set off a couple of weeks later. Since then though, things have changed. At the beginning of November I went for a drink after work and ended…

Happy 2013! My Big Travel Resolution

A New Year always feels like an opportunity. The last days of December are slow, tired and overfull, good for nothing but sleeping and leftovers; whilst January dawns fresh, crisp and clear, a month of beginnings, resolutions and promise. I feel the urge to clean, cleanse and clear; to purge extraneous and unnecessary clutter from my life and begin again….

Christmas Gifts for Travellers – Design lovers

A lot about travel is unglamorous – the bugs, the hostels, the lack of shampoo. Part of the fun is letting go of material possessions, living with only what you can carry on your back and learning to re-prioritise experiences, places and people over the obsession with accumulating ‘stuff’ that dominates the consciousness of many Western cultures.

On Friday I will turn 25. I am greeting this event with fairly mixed emotions; on the plus side, I will no longer have to worry about the currently quite terrifying unemployment statistics for under 25’s. On the other hand my Young Persons rail card expiring is a bit of a downer. I’ve found 24 to be a bit of…

Why Wild Camping Rocks in Scotland

A couple of weeks ago, Sutty turned 30. And he could not have been less excited about it. Now I know that it’s a bit of a landmark, generally an age which causes introspection and life re-evaluation and a certain amount of ‘oh holy shit’ realisation that you are, in fact, an adult; but it’s still a birthday. We take…

The Best Pig Sandwich in Scotland

  The Scottish are good at meat. They are good at cooking it, and they love to eat it – this is after all a country that offers minced meat and offal stuffed inside a sheep’s stomach at breakfast. This Friday’s post, then, is dedicated to the best meaty meal I could find. Strolling around Edinburgh on Monday lunchtime, Sutty…
