New Ventures

Hey everyone 🙂 I haven't posted on here in quite a while, so I think it goes without saying this blog is more or less inactive now. Travel writing is fun, but ultimately my passion lies in journalism and telling the stories of others. I started a new blog a few months ago called What's …

Eats: Romanian Edition

I’ll give Romanian food a 10 because that’s how many pounds I gained when I went there. Romania’s food is heavy in just about every way you can imagine and a single portion could fill you for a day. The cuisine is so classically eastern European it almost feels like a farce. Think ham and …

Eats: Edinburgh Old Town Edition

If I could eat at these places every day, I would.

Ideas?

Apologies for the lack of posts in the past little while. The last couple of weeks have been a bit difficult and I've been finding it hard to focus on anything creative. Inspiration finally hit today, but I'm not sure what to write about! If anyone has any requests for things they'd like to read …

Officially Grammin’

This is a really fast post to let people know I *finally* started an Instagram account for The Genie Pants!

This is a tacky post from someone who is inspired by life again

I started a new job last week as a Tour Consultant. This means that I get to help people plan trips and make the most of their time in the UK. I also do the dirty work, coordinating everything and praying I don’t accidentally book someone on a tour they didn’t want to do (or …

Eats: Ghanaian Edition

Ghanaian food was so far off my radar that I didn't even think of it as something to try. Silly me.

Jumping in again

I've been lazy. My intended three-week hiatus has turn into nearly 1.5 months! It was fun, but it's time to start this up again. I'm considering making the following changes to the site, so don't be surprised if this strange little space of mine looks different in the coming days or weeks: Switching posts to …

Tiny Hiatus!

I know all 20 of you are on the edges of your seats each week for my posts, but there is going to be a bit of a lag over the next couple of weeks because I'm taking off to Ghana!!! Sometimes I've actually gotta travel in order to make these travel memories, ya know? …
