Hostel ☠️ horror ☠️ stories ..⁣ ⁣ With Halloween creeping around the corner, I’ve been thinking about my craziest & scariest situations while travelling & staying in hostels.⁣ ⁣ Don’t get me wrong, I love hostels & think it’s a great way to meet people BUT.. I’ve encountered a few less than ideal situations while staying in them. From critters 🐀 to arrests 👮🏻‍♂️, I think it’s safe to say I’ve just about seen it all! ⁣ ⁣ Read about my experiences on my blog. Link in bio 👊🏽 Feeling thankful 🍂 #CanadianThanksgiving Summers in Canada are too short 💦 What’s one thing that isn’t fun about backpacking? ⁣ ⁣ BUDGET AIRLINES 😒⁣ ⁣ During my last backpacking trip I ended up on quite a few budget flights to save money while getting to and from different islands 🐚⁣ ⁣ Between cancelled flights & other mishaps, I’ve come to discover the WORST airlines out there! ⁣ ⁣ Link in bio for the 4 budget airlines to avoid & 1 surprisingly good one 😮☝🏽 Don’t get me wrong, solo travel is great but I’ve also had so many amazing times travelling with friends 🌟⁣ ⁣ When my best friend flew across the world 🌎 to visit me in Australia I had the best time showing her around & then travelling a bit together! ⁣ ⁣ One of my favourite memories from her visit was just hanging out at the beach & catching up after not seeing each other for nearly a year. ⁣ ⁣ Do you prefer travelling alone or with friends? And what’s your favourite memory you’ve shared on a trip with friends? Leave a comment below! 👇🏽⁣ ⁣ Oh and happy belated birthday to the gal who spent a full day on multiple planes to see me 💕 Ready to go chase some more waterfalls 💦 HOW TO: find paid internships abroad 📝⁣ ⁣ Interning abroad is such a good way to travel and live in another country, while still building up your resume & breaking into your field 👊🏽⁣ ⁣ Here are some ways you can find PAID💰internships abroad! ⁣ ⁣ 🌟TIMING ⏰- apply to jobs before you leave home so you aren’t scrambling when you’re in an unfamiliar place ⁣ 🌟CONFIDENCE 😎- own your skills & be confident in interviews even if you don’t know everything! Practice makes perfect⁣ 🌟WORK YOUR WAY UP 📈- you may have to start with an unpaid position for a few months until you have experience to get work that’s paid but don’t worry, it won’t take long! ⁣ ⁣ Want to know more?

But hey, there’s no shame in that! ⁣ ⁣ My worst airport cry was when I left Australia last year. I could barely direct myself to the gate because the tears were flowing 😪 but not a single person took any notice - hence why airports are a prime crying location.⁣ ⁣ Leave your airport crying stories in the comments below & I’ll hit you with a few more as well (there have been many lol) 😅⁣ ⁣ Check out my latest blog post: A sad girl’s guide to crying in airports for how to embrace your emotions while travelling & the best tips for discreet crying on the plane or at the airport! ⁣ ⁣ Link in bio ✌🏽 Little me, big world 🙆🏼‍♀️🌎⁣ ⁣ Anyone else ever feel overwhelmed by how much they’ve yet to see on this beautiful planet, or is that just me?
