What do you do to relax? 🌟 Hammocks and doing sweet FA is a great way to relax after a gross night bus journey where I met some really nice people :) 🌟 A few more days of this, cycling and waterfalls before bus-ing it to Cambodia 🇰🇭

HAPPY WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY. This is a V important day of the year, second to my birthday. Whoever thought dedicating an entire day to speak about mental health needs a knighthood. I SALUTE YOU SIR/MISS. 1. I’d like to take this Insta opportunity to say I hope you, friend, reader, curious person who’s landed on my page or probably just my Mum, is feeling okay today. And whatever it is that you’re feeling, is okay. Even if you’re feeling low.. anxious.. scared.. downright shit. Talk about it and if you can’t talk about it, write about it. We’re humans, and humans have a range of emotions and thoughts. I still get embarrassed by what I feel - it’ll take time, but that’s ok. 2. I wanted to use today to reflect about my time in SE Asia and how I’ve been feeling. I arrived in Thailand, 31 July 2018, and honestly? It’s been a pretty hectic, emotional weird time for me. You know what? I haven’t LOVED every minute of being here. I’ve fallen in ❤️ with Laos because I’m spending as much time exploring all of the parts of the country that still seem untouched and raw, but it’s been tough! 2 months in Thailand showed me a lot of beautiful things. Beaches, shows, I partied HARD and danced harder, made new friends and ate great food but not everything was fab. I feel like there’s this taboo if you backpack: you can’t NOT love a place - does anyone ever get that? You feel guilty about not loving somewhere because you’ve put the time/money investing in it and it’s just not all it’s cracked up to be? For me, it was my experience in Thailand. I only started loving it when I explored places not so known. I was subconsciously getting bored with the same route, attractions and the lack of challenge. Instead I was surrounding myself with people disinterested in exploring a culture but really ONLY there to get f*cked and be f*cked. Whilst I like those two a LOT (who doesn’t) it actually started to get on my tits-not in a good way-and I was comparing myself to everyone. I was in Thailand to DISCOVER, EXPLORE, IMMERSE - not just party, feel used and unattractive and I was gutted. Slowly, slowly, I’m getting to know what I like, what makes me tick and what I deserve. 🌍 #wmhd

Blown away. This place and its views are nuts. You need to scramble up rocks to get to the top here - and it’s pretty steep - but I think it was worth it .. right? EDIT: I also swallowed and choked on two flies which is kinda weird and impressive at the same time. #laos

Finally I understand what the words #nofilter genuinely means. IS THIS SH*T FOR REAL? Ps. @natgeoadventure hire me

Never apologise for being a powerful, f***ing woman .. even if sometimes you don’t always feel like one 🌍
