Stranded On A Mountainside
My partner, daughter ( who was about twelve at the time), and I were on the road after spending Christmas in the USA in a winter wonderland. We planned to head off to Death Valley as we had never been there in the winter months. We thought it might be more pleasant temperature-wise than on previous trips when the sun beat down on us mercilessly and totally sapped us of energy every time we left the comfort of our car. We have experienced these fierce temperatures here in Australia during our travels and personally, I don’t enjoy scorching in the searing sun. However, if you want to see our amazing world you have to suffer discomfort sometimes.

My Hero, the Stranger
Everyone told me I was crazy for wanting to travel through Central America by myself as a small young girl from the middle of nowhere of rural eastern Washington. I had just gotten through a bad breakup that extended through the whole summer. I almost wanted to do it to escape the constant phone calls and disparagement of my ex more than any other reason since I always eventually answered to tell him to leave me alone. Therefore, travelling internationally to avoid having a working phone sounded great, no matter how scared I was.

Newcastle upon Tyne: My Hero Hometown
I've been trying my hand at travel writing recently, noting that, no matter how much I love to travel to faraway places and how much I love those places, my favourite place in the world will always be my hometown. So I thought I'd write a "travel blog" as such about said town. To cement my appreciation. But it occurred to me, when I was deciding what to write about, that I'm not really entirely sure of what it is that I love about my hometown. The reason for this, probably, is that I don't fit the stereotype of a "Geordie" ie. a Newcastle resident. I don't even really have the accent, which is instantly recognisable all over the UK. I think a sense of common identity with other residents is usually what attaches people to the place they come from. But I think, for me, it's something different, and I'm going to attempt to figure out why over the next few paragraphs. I mean, I hope that this will also advertise the city to potential travellers, but I have no idea where I'm going with this.
