The island of Jamaica radiates an infectious vibrancy, in the most chilled way possible. Every time I return to Jamaica, I have thought about what makes up this oxymoronic ambiance, and I’ve yet to put a finger on it. There is something that hangs in the air of the Jam...

In 1542, Spanish Colonialists named a group of islands located in South East Asia ‘Las Filipinas’, honouring Prince Philip—this country is now called the Philippines. With more than 7000 islands, island hopping is the most reasonable way to explore the...

Felicity Aston is the kind of person you could chat with all day – I almost did. She is warm-hearted, extremely bright, and utterly fascinating. She is a woman that has had brushes with polar bears and has trekked through the Peruvian jungle; Felicity Aston is a role m...

London is great; we can all agree on that. Yet, it’s the sort of complicated love that demands you get away from the object of your affection every once in a while. A week on a sun-scorched beach would be ideal; however, for those of us who haven’t been blessed with en...

During last weekend’s whirlwind tour through three of Belgium’s main cities, I was reminded of how much each day really has to offer when your mind is fine-tuned to focus on one thing at a time. It is so simple in theory, but in practise can be a surprisingly foreign c...

            Russia: the land of domed churches, bright buildings, and a history that includes a queen buying drinks for an entire city (check my facts, it actually happened and believe me, no one seemed to mind). It’s near the top of anyone’s travel bucket list even if...
