California is lucky enough to be home to not one but TWO gravity defying attractions; The Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz and Confusion Hill of Mendocino County.Although I live closer to The Mystery Spot, I grew up defying gravity on the side of “Old Highway 101” at Confusion Hill.

A Grand Ball and a Soccer Ball | My Summer 2016 Plans
I recently passed the three year anniversary since I made my initial pond-hop to England (and started this blog!) and it feels like a lifetime ago. Returning to the UK has been on my mind pretty much since the day I left it so I am thrilled to announce that I will be crossing the Atlantic […]
California’s Gold
As a child, sitting in the car for eight hours on a road trip up Highway 101 was a pretty normal thing. My family made this pilgrimage annually to visit my grandparents that live in the last town before the Oregon state line, so I got pretty familiar with all the different cities and rest […]

My Pledge To Help
I write this under unusual circumstances and a heavy heart. I would like to preface this by saying I would normally never ask anything of you as a reader. Your loyalty to visiting my blog and reading it means the world to me, but sometimes our thoughts need to be turned into actions and this […]
World Watching Hits Its Second Anniversary!
I recently hit my two year anniversary of World Watching, so first off, cheers! *clinks champagne flutes* And second, where has the time gone?! It feels like ages ago that I took off for London, the trip that triggered this snowballing feeling of wanderlust and has taken over my life. That shy girl who was […]
The Big Five | My Safari Stay
When on a safari, there are the notorious “Big Five” you hope to see: leopard, lion, buffalo, elephant and rhino. Why only five? These animals got their high rankings from being the most difficult to hunt on foot (back when that was legal). Unfortunately the rhinos succeeded in staying camouflaged in the brush so we were […]
The Elephant Experience | David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
This past Saturday held the event I had been looking forward to most since the planning of this trip began…meeting baby elephants! The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was founded in 1977 and is now one of the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehab programs in the world. They take in both elephants and rhinos who’s […]
My Kenya Carry On
Now that I have entered the two week countdown until departure, I’m starting to think about packing. And not just my big suitcase packed with way more clothes than necessary, but my carry on–my source of entertainment for the 20 hour plane journey. That’s a lot of pressure to make sure it’s good stuff, and compact so […]
A New Year, A New Look, and A New Trip!
As you can see, I have changed up the look of my blog a little bit, unless you are just now joining in on my adventures…then, welcome! I just figured this place needed a bit of housekeeping before I announced that I would be returning to writing here starting in May when I go to […]
