Feeding Your Wanderlust Before Travel
I am a third culture kid who just loves moving and traveling to new countries and cultures. With raising our expat family abroad, it does not allow me to just jet off every time wanderlust strikes hard. However there are many ways I help feed that wanderlust before we book our next trip. For me the exploration, dreaming, and planning before you pack your bags can be just as satisfying. With raising a family I love to have our life focused around travel and cultures around the world even when we are at home. Travel is life!
Here are my top five tips for feeding your wanderlust before travel:
Cookie Class at Coffee @ Camden
Last month we surprised my sons with a special Saturday activity, a children’s cookie class at Coffee @ Camden in Bath. You might remember my blog post from Coffee @ Camden on my day date there last year. The owner, Sara, specializes in amazing and delicious cupcakes which are perfect for birthdays, weddings, holidays, or those ‘just because’ moments. While we were not having cupcakes on this day, my sweet tooth was not disappointed. Continue reading

My Conversation with a Monk in Cambodia

A place in time when you cannot believe you are doing what you are doing, that you are where you are in that moment, and everything just hits you with a sense of awe and wonder. I had one of those moments back in 2006 when I was visiting Siem Reap, Cambodia with my mum. Continue reading
My Five Dream Careers with Jillian Lorraine
Hello, hello, hello! My name is Jillian Denning and I blog over at Jillian Lorraine.
I always feel vaguely uncomfortable with the getting-to-know-you section of these kind of posts, so let’s just get the awkward out of the way and share some weird photos of me, shall we?
Throwback #4: Stonehenge
Time for our next Travel Throwback and today I share with you a photograph taken about thirty miles from where I live now, almost thirty years ago. How wonderful to see that in all the mobility and travels in the last thirty one years I can return to the same areas from my past. For a third culture kid like myself, that is as closest to having a ‘home’ as I can find. I look forward to going back to Stonehenge soon to see it with my husband and sons this time. Tis a shame you cannot get as close to it as you once could but will be awesome to see such an amazing historical structure outside of our current home in Bath, England.
