Olympiaregion Seefeld: The Most Beautiful Place in Austria
I’ve titled this blog post, ‘Olympiaregion Seefeld: The Most Beautiful Place in Austria’. Bold words, I know, especially since, well, it’s not like I’ve explored every single inch of Austria and can say this for sure.

Book Review: Miss-Adventures by Amy Baker (plus GIVEAWAY)
There’s a moment in Amy Baker’s Miss-Adventures: A Tale of Ignoring Life Advice While Backpacking Around South America that made me realise I was going to fall in love with this book straightaway.
