The Hardest Thing About Travelling
Planning your dream trip is exciting. Where will you go? What will you see? How long will you stay in each place? Who might you meet? What modes of transport will you use?

Why We Travel
A couple of months ago, we were having a chat about our world tour with one of our couch surfing hosts in Turin and when I mentioned we'd only been on the road for two months, he laughed and said “Wow, only two months?! But that's a lot already!” That's when it hit me. For the most of us occidental folks, we've never been on the road for two months because, well, we're way too comfy on our sofas scrolling through Facebook and Instagram being envious of all those people who are doing something meaningful with their life.

All Down Rhyl From Here
The day of the Katherine Ryan’s performance in Rhyl arrived. But as we were about to find out, the Katherine Ryan gig side of the day becomes secondary after you’ve spent hours in Rhyl. Thankfully that wasn’t the only place we went that day. There were sights to see pre-Katherine.

The Autobiography of a Nobody Pt. 3
Neither Jane nor I had ever stayed in a four-star hotel before. Our standards for accommodation have always been lower than most. We see a place to stay as just that. As long as it has a clean bed, then we are normally content. After all, we are only often there to sleep anyway.

Wildflowers That You Shouldn't Eat. Top Story - April 2018.
Just because a plant is beautiful doesn't mean you should put it in your mouth. You might think that's obvious but the worst life hacks you should never try include eating whole containers of nutmeg, drinking Purell, and consuming morning glory seeds just because they can get you drunk or high. People need to be warned about everything! Also, there's no such thing as "obvious."

Stratford-upon-Avon
Introduction Being the birthplace of one of the most famous playwrights of all time, Stratford-upon-Avon has become an extremely popular destination for tourists. I've visited the town many times, and whenever I've been there, it's always been very busy. I've seen a lot of tour groups traveling about, especially Chinese and American groups. The last time I was there, I saw some students taking pictures of the Shakespeare statues near the river Avon. The market town is famous for historic buildings, nice shopping areas, and scenic views that could take your fancy.
