I Haven't been Everywhere But It's On My List
Maja, the Travelling Gypsy
The blog is back due to popular demand (yes my momma made me do it).
I’m slightly older, but no wiser, and this time the pressures and constraints of society mean that unless I finally fulfill my dream of marrying a Russian mafioso who will finance my endless world travel, the likelihood of me taking another year off is minimal.
This does not stop me, however, from taking as many mini gypsy breaks as my holiday ration and bank account will let me, and why not share some of my most exciting adventures with my extensive fan base? (And yes by that I mean my mother.)
Recent Travels
Netflix and chilling
One of the things that I did as a result of the early lockdown panic was that I started religiously following the news; News at 10, Newsnight, random corona updates, etc. I knew almost as much as my mother about what was going on, and from the looks of it at the time...

Bullied into a corona blog
So I’m not sure how this is going to pan out, or why I’m even doing this at all. To be honest, I would love to say that I’ve been inspired because of the large amount of free time that I have to finally get a chance to do something I love. In theory that is totally...
Tel Aviv
So our last two and a half days in Israel were to be spent relaxing in Tel Aviv. We were going to do some touristy and cultural stuff, but mainly we were there to do what Tel Avivans do best; brunch, drink and lie on the beach. We were staying at the marina, 20...
Road trip north towards the Lebanese border
So we had visited East Israel and we had visited West Israel. It was now time to branch out longitudinally and head North. We had booked a great-looking tour to cover Caesarea, Haifa, Rosh Hanikra and Acre (basically half the coast) all in one day. We had heard...
