PHIL
PHIL’S #travelsundaystory Men with Bulimia I met Phil on my first day of travelling the world, starting in Colombia.

7 things I’ve realised about travelling. Travelling is the most awesome thing. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it can be quite difficult, especially when you get used to a group of people you’re travelling with, so much so that when you end up moving onto different places you feel even more alone than when you…

I hope you’re doing good up there and enjoying watching me and my adventures, laughing at the rain falling through my bedroom ceiling in the mountain, watching the hikes and adventures I’m participating in with the friends I’m making and enjoying the writing. I thought of you today, and…
