“To enjoy the magnificence of a mountain, you have to look upwards in most cases. To enjoy Mount Huangshan, however, you’ve got to look downward.” Quote by an ancient Chinese writer. Awful queues and magnificent views is how I would describe my visit to the Yellow Mountains. In my final month of living in Shanghai, […]

Terrifying skywalks, misty mountains and a gigantic cave awaited me. I was on a cable car, heading up a mountain I knew very little about.

Castleton, Cavedale and the Peak District National Park

Posted on 6th May 20182nd December 2018by Anna

“Can vegans get fat?” I am asked. Oh yes, yes they can. I love cake. I love chocolate and all things to do with dessert. When I first went vegan, dessert at restaurants and cafes was hard to find. Not anymore! Gone are the days when sorbet was the only option on the dessert menu. […]

Paradise on Earth: Plitviče Lakes

Posted on 27th February 201824th March 2018by Anna

The sunlight glistened on each individual water droplet. The water was falling over the edge into turquoise-blue lakes creating the most spectacular waterfalls I believe I have ever seen. Plitvice truly was Paradise on earth. Almost from the moment you arrive at Plitvice your eyes are spoiled for choice. After buying your ticket you walk […]

An eventful trip to the Shanghai Swimming Centre

Posted on 10th February 201825th July 2018by Anna

My first visit to a Chinese swimming pool Prologue At the start of my time in China when I managed to do very simple things like buying a train ticket or ask for a carrier bag at the supermarket (the first is a lot trickier than the second), I felt very proud of myself.  In […]

Posted on 4th February 201829th July 2018by Anna

Alex and I were walking up a mountain. This was the only day of the trip to Wales I had asked Alex to plan. We greeted a group who were descending down the mountain, climbing gear draped over their shoulders, when I asked how to pronounce the name of the mountain. The mountain I had […]
