On Travelling Alone

May 8, 2013 By Megan 23 Comments

View of Budapest

People always advise young girls from travelling alone. Though their concern is usually for safety reasons, I’ve always avoided travelling alone because I thought I would get lonely. After all, aren’t the beautiful places in the world better enjoyed with the people you love? Then, last summer, a last-minute trip to Europe for a family wedding meant I ended up making plans to … [Read more...]

Roamancing South Africa – I Touched a Cheetah!

When in Africa, one must go on a safari. In fact, along with shark cage diving, seeing lions on a safari was at the top of my list for things to do in South Africa. Perhaps it had something to do with multiple viewings of The Lion King when I was a child, but I couldn't wait to see lions out in the wild. When I had thought about going on a safari before, I had always … [Read more...]

Read Part 1 here: Roamancing South Africa – Shark Cage Diving The next day, we had yet another wonderful animal encounter, albeit a much lower adrenaline one than swimming with sharks.
