Hong Kong – Caitlin Jean Russell

I’ve visited Dublin twice – once with my family and once with my best friend. The city is so beautiful – I find it to be much like Glasgow: green, full of friendly people, and best of all full of pubs. The famous Temple Bar is not to be missed – the atmosphere is electric, … More Dublin, Ireland

Hong Kong Airlines

April 6, 2017

My single experience using Hong Kong Airlines was in July 2015 travelling from Shanghai to Hong Kong.

The sheer size of China, however, means that trips from one city to another can take several … More Hong Kong Airlines

Luang Prabang, Laos

December 1, 2016

The atmosphere was so different to anywhere we had visited so far – quiet, relaxed, and the people, locals or otherwise, were incredibly welcoming and warm. Luang Prabang is suitable to the size of Laos and absolutely minuscule in terms of land mass. It was beyond refreshing after several weeks of big cities swarming with … More Luang Prabang, Laos

Travelling with acrophobia

November 22, 2016

It’s so strange to talk about my fear of heights because it’s so hard to articulate both what I experience when the fear sets in and my ways of coping – or not – with it. In the last eighteen months or so this phobia has been heightened by my ever increasing decision to venture … More Travelling with acrophobia
