Volunteering with the pandas
After checking out of my accomodation in Wulinguan I got a DiDi over to the Zhangjiajie Railway to catch a high speed train to Chengdu. Once I arrived I checked into my hotel/apartment and then went for a bit of an explore to find some dinner. I then just went to try...
Zhangjiajie National Park
The hotel I am staying at (Zhangjiajie Ziyan Ningxian) had prebooked my tickets for me. The park entry ticket as well as unlimited bus/cable car/elevator pass. That made it all such an easy process. When I checked in the woman also pulled out the map and drew all over...
Yangshuo to Wulingyuan
On Thursday morning I went down to see the hotel woman and find out what the mugwort thing she was making me was. Turns out it was Qingtuan. A green rice ball made with mugwort juice and filled with crushed nuts and sweet red bean paste. It was really nice. She had...
Vegan Eats: China Part 1
So this post is covering my first week in China. I arrived in Guangzhou before heading out to Yangshuo. It hasn't been as difficult to eat here as many people expected it to be, but I think when you're not someone who has spent pretty much their entire life looking...
Yangshuo & Xingping

A weekend in London

Nottingham
After stopping by and visiting Cal and fam, I decided to break up my trip back down to London and booked a stay in Nottingham for a few nights. Obviously my choice of visiting the area was inspired by Robin Hood tales. I just wanted somewhere cheaper than London to...
24 Hours
I checked out of Liverpool and got on a train to Leeds, and then onto New Pudsey. Callum had perfect timing pulling up just as I walked up from the station. That's right it was time for 24 hours with the Smith-McCredie Fam! I am so glad that we managed to fit this...
Liverpool Time
When I checked into my hotel in Liverpool I found myself in an amazing old room. It was huge, the bathroom was separate and massive however, there was no shower. The booking I made said there was a shower so I went down to reception and she provided me with a new key...
VEGAN EATS: UK EDITION PART 4
Part 4 of the UK vegan eats series. This episode is Scotland-centric. Being back here for a second time is certainly seeing me eat at more places. I find that I eat a lot of burgers in the UK, and also more pizza then I usually would. Eating out in the UK is something...
