Now this is my kind of prompt! As a serial wanderluster, I have many dream vacations, usually consisting of many destinations in one trip. I’ve already travelled Western Europe and ventured across Canada, but there’s still SO MUCH MORE to see. I like to see a lot in a short space of time. As aContinue Reading “Blogtober Day 24: Dream Vacation Destinations”
For Blgotober today I need to start or continue a blog series. I was going to continue my Bake Along with Bake Off series but I don’t have time to actually bake anything this morning so that idea’s out. Instead I’m going to finally write something else for my Wandering Bean series. I really shouldContinue Reading “Blogtober day 20: Getting the Train Across Canada”
Since I was little I always knew I wanted to see the world. I have old bucket lists featuring things like “go to every country in the world” and “travel all the continents”. My bucket list has scaled back a bit as I’ve got older, but I do still want to see as much ofContinue Reading “solo travel – why it’s one of the best things you can do”
My whole life I’ve said I’ll see the world. As a youngster I was determined not to get stuck in the 9-5 lifestyle, I wanted to do something exciting with my life.

Some of the reasons why are down to bad luck, and others are purely down to personal taste. I’m not saying don’t goContinue Reading “the wandering bean – why I didn’t like Milan”
Where you stay can have a huge impact when you go travelling, especially when you go alone. It’s not a decision to be taken lightly.

Even after I thought I knew, it turned outContinue Reading “the wandering bean – where to stay when travelling solo”
After a long walk along the seafront in Barcelona I was starting to feel like I could get used to the whole solo travelling thing. I even plucked up the courage to take myself out for dinner and finally eat some proper food. That was the night before I was due to travel to Marseille,Continue Reading “the wandering bean – when travel plans change”
After a 2.5 hour train ride my second stop was Barcelona. The train ride was awesome – European trains are SO MUCH nicer than British trains. There’s so much space, they’re clean, and the leave ON TIME. Though I did have to go through airport-like security to get to the platform, which was an unfamiliarContinue Reading “the wandering bean – two days in Barcelona”
Madrid was the first stop on my grand European adventure. When I got there I wasn’t exactly sure what I was doing or where I was going, but I did know I wanted to see the city and make the most of my time there. As I was a first time solo traveller with aContinue Reading “the wandering bean – one day in Madrid”
