"we have a suspect travelling under the social influence in a lavender field" ... *Picks up a fedora on the ground* 😂 loving this message from NZ.

@earthsunwildair I think it's because a lot of those posts recommend bringing a book... which then becomes an art! Coz I have never mastered the ability to gracefully eat and read at the same time! 😆 But whatever helps to get over the stigma that eating alone is weird!

Lockdown is getting to me! 🙈 Had a lovely chat with this fella... First face to face conversation I've had in a while! #lockdown #sololiving #whythelongface

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

@TravelwithCo Backpack as much as possible, just for the ease of being able to use your hands! 🤓

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

@ChristineLozada Thank you! Quite proud of those. The fact that they aren't all perfectly straight and aligned with each other... Less proud of that! 😂

My coping mechanism for lockdown 2.0 has been to create a Wall of Travel - canvas collage of my favourite travel memories! Although if I'm being quite frank I think it's making the travel blue even worse! 😅 #travel #travelmemories #travelblues

Saw a friend share this list of Lonely Planet books for 2020. 🤣

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

@earthsunwildair It was a powerful witness statement!

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

Thinking back on the wildlife I was spotting last week in Scotland! This fella was munching away outside the @InveroranHotel. It feels like a world away already! #westhighlandway

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

West Highland Way did not disappoint! 3 days of hiking, 68km, 3 highland cows (those things are MASSIVE) and some lovely hotels on the way! Scotland wilderness at its best! Blog to post to follow! #westhighlandway #Scotland

Hello old friend! Time to explore another corner of the world again! 💚

HOW TO GO IN 2021

This time of year usually calls for trend forecasting and selecting "up-and-coming" destinations for the year ahead.

This year is different.

We've come up with our first "how to go" list, with 5 foundations to shape the future of travel and our tours.

(1/6)

@Dreams_Abroad @touchtheworld6 @AdamRogers2030 @MatthewHirtes @top10traveler @mattsnextsteps @endless_roaming @XeniaKaepernick Love it! Planning in the days of Google is definitely a different beast to the days of paper maps. I tend to "pin" locations on Google maps when I'm researching / when I see something inspiring. It creates a visual trail that I can then use to plan out my route in more detail!

5 days till I'm in Scotland to hike part of the West Highland Way! (Provided no further restrictions...) Cannot wait for a break and some fresh air. Might even go chase some waterfalls?! #hiking #Scotland #westhighlandway

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

@ThemTrips Ah! I was working up at the Reserva Santa Elena for a couple weeks and would pass by there on the bus every day! I thought I recognised that field! 😅

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

Also me in the kitchen when I'm cookin!

[Olivia 🌴 Bean Exploring @bean_exploring]

Too true. As much I have been enjoying furnishing this new flat, I can't help but think: "this is going to be a pain to sell when I want to travel / move next!" 😬
