Leaning into the travelling hippy vibe

When I notice a full moon I make a mental note of where I am, I think back to where I was on the last one, and I think forward to where I might be on the next one. It takes all of 1 minute to do but it’s a nice moment of reflection. The world moves in cycles, and so do we. Noticing the little cycles specific to you are a personal, private affair, but observing the huge cycle of the moon seems like one that should be shared. So I plan on doing my personal piece of reflection on noticing a full moon in this space!

Expect a short:

1. this is where I am now;
2. this is where I was on the last one;
3. and this is where I think I might be on the next one.

It might lead to some interesting reflections, or just show how little forward planning I’m doing on this trip when my future prediction is completely wrong!

Is this a food blog too?

This is a travel blog sure, but what’s travelling without eating a lot of amazing food? So this is the space for all things food related. I’m imaginging descriptions of certain meals so vivid you can taste them; recipes for said meals; and descriptions of my own creations and other strange foods I’ve turned to for sustenance as I remember I’m travelling on a budget.

If you have any food recommendations, of delicacies I absolutely have to try in certain countries, please DM me: meg.co7 (instagram)!

Won’t you get lonely travelling alone?

The great misunderstanding of what travelling alone means! As I’ve happily explained to several people recently, travelling alone doesn’t mean I’m going to be alone. In fact, I’ll probably be with people most of the time. The people I meet will form as important part of my memories of this trip as the sights I see. I truly love meeting new people, hearing about their lives and getting to know them. I’d like to record these experiences, sharing people’s lives along with my other travel experiences (with permission of course!).

Expect some Humans of New York style pieces here.

Did you know I studied biology?

Although I graduated from my biology degree in 2020 and have been studying law since, I still have an interest in biology. So I’m of course going to include some biology posts in this blog. Expect a deep dive into common plants I’ve noticed in certain areas, or beautiful birds I’ve seen, or just some general observational ramblings.
