Before I left Australia my mum told me about this place called Ubud where musicians and writers hang out to be inspired, create and relax. Away from the party culture of tourists and muppets travelling to Bali. As usual mother's know best and she wasn't wrong. Ubud is an incredible place to visit, buzzing with …
I lived in a van for a month and it was a strange feeling being homeless but at home. I was exactly where I wanted to be, minimalistic living and in nature. Here is the first video of the experience, just click the highlighted writing and enjoy the first part. Atomic Sunflowers - Van Life
What we do in life echoes in eternity. I rushed back to my little cabin to find the window smashed and curtains dancing in the midnight air and florescent light. I immediately sprung into action, frantically opening the lock and ripping the door open to find my possessions scattered across the room. A quick search …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucA0iT7LwhU I'm sitting here in Canggu, Bali. It's 31°c with a cool breeze and nature is breathing around me. I can hear construction in the distance, scooters going faster than they should and chickens crowing. I'm at a place called The Farm, yes the farm. It makes me giggle because I grew up on a …
The days are long but the years fly by - Haley Lauren. 2015 is coming to an end. I turned 25 years old this year (full adult). Yet I still feel like I'm lost and unsure of my direction in life. There are still so many things my younger self promised to do but never …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTwzpSoxL7M We visited Blarney Castle on the 7th to kiss the Blarney Stone, which gives you the "gift of the gab" or silvertongue. I was reluctant to do it because I don't think it is a very good trait to have as a person but then I reasoned with myself because I may never be …

We were very tired because we had stayed up late last night talking to our new roommate Gerard and Damien who were from …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv6YLn0LI3M We brought in the New Year at the Hoggamany Festival in Edinburgh. It was amazing, we did a tour of the highlands with a Scottish man called Scott! I'm not even kidding.. He told tales of the history while talking over Scottish music. The countryside of Scotland is absolutely beautiful and I saw snow …
28/12/13 We are starting our Scotland tour tomorrow with Scott and I am so excited to see snow. This week in London hasn't been productive after Christmas. We had a huge feast with Ericka as part of the hostel deal and drank with our new friend/roommate Xavier who was an absolute charmer and I revealed …
