AN INTRO TO ME

Hi, I’m Sam!

6ft 5, bodybuilder, Nobel Prize-winning author and an Olympic gold medalist. Just kidding! Although…I did win the gold medal for the egg and spoon race at the age of 8, which I still proudly include on my CV to this day.

Well..not really, but can you imagine?

To properly introduce myself…I’m Sam, a UK-born travel-obsessed individual who has travelled to over 20+ countries around the world and counting. My goal is to keep exploring the globe one destination at a time.

Give me an off-beaten place to visit or the most ridiculous hike, and I’m all there for it! Although I must admit, I’m also the conventional type with frequent city breaks and history dives. I try to do what I can, travelling all I can while battling through the 9-5!

My passion for travel

WHERE IT CAME FROM

Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a knack for exploring. I remember fondly going on family holidays around Europe and while sitting around the pool, I’d pester my family to see the location attractions rather than sticking to the hotel complex. I was absolutely feral!

Moving swiftly from the comfort of a family getaway, I decided on go on my own travels, cutting to my first independent trip to Paris at 21. This brought out my inner passion for travel, sparking me to continue exploring Europe on city breaks throughout the next few years.

The travel bug never really stopped as I kept visiting place after place. In August 2023, I took a once-in-a-lifetime interrailing trip. Well I say that, ill probably be doing it again! Anyhow, I visited 7 countries over a month around Europe, from seeing the beautiful landscapes of Switzerland to cave exploring in Slovenia.

My interrailing country list;

Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland

What now

THE PRESENT DAY & BLOG

Fast forward to today, I’ve continued where I left of my with previous ventures, roaming around Europe’s most beautiful destinations and then taking a long-awaited trip to Asia. I visited Singapore, Indonesia and finally Malaysia. My travels have definitely impacted my outlook on life and the value I put on the importance of seeing the wider world.
