Solo female traveller from Scotland
2016 has been as unpredictable and chaotic as I could ever have imagined. In the same year I thought my entire life was falling apart around me, thinking I had picked the wrong course and altogether wanting to give up and go live in a cave somewhere; I also conquered Africa's highest mountain, spent a …
Yesterday I travelled South, slightly, to visit my Uncle, Aunt and their newest additions to the family; two goats. One of the first things I noticed about these two is how much they depend on and love each other; the pair played happily in their paddock and were never too far away from each other. They …
It's 12am, it's pitch black, all you can hear is the sound of your own heart beat and someone being sick a few steps in front of you. It's cold, it's windy and all you have is a head torch to guide your way. It's summit night on Kilimanjaro and it's about to be the …

The site had gained an audience, the children came to watch us build and some even wanted to help. They had also brought a tiny little kitten with them which was just adorable. We were making more sand chains but because I was on a slight slope I kept managing to batter my legs with …
The first thing I did in the morning was look across to the the mountains opposite us. The clouds were tucked in-between them, just under their peaks, hugging the sides like fluffy white glaciers. It was a beautiful start to my day. We had a free afternoon after our morning's work on the building site …
