I love photography, I think most bloggers do. I really love photography where I get to play with light. As a travel blogger, most of my shots are taken in the daytime, so I can really show the beauty of a place, so I very rarely get to play with the my Olympus Pen or my Canon DSLR cameras at night time.

Coping with redundancy #2: Making money whilst unemployed

I was earning a very respectable amount from Inside Laura's Head BUT this amount varied each month and I needed more certainty to feel comfortable buying a house, so I got a full time job. This job was 37.5 hours a week, which I … [Read more...]
5 things I’ve learned from travelling solo
I've talked a fair bit about the trials and tribulations of travelling solo on Inside Laura's Head but I've never done a post talking about what I've learned during my many solo trips. Since meeting J, it's clear my solo trips will be less frequent as I want to explore with him mostly, but I know there'll still be the odd one, and I'll keep learning valuable lessons.
