But failure doesn’t always have to be final. 

I might not be exactly where I was hoping to be yet but I’m still doing something that the me from 7 years ago could have never imagined was possible. So that’s got to mean something! 

And while my social media is all sunshine, rainbows and holidays, I’ve been having one of the most demanding years of my personal life to date, dealing with things I never imagined in a million years I’d be dealing with. 

But one thing this crazy year has taught me is that you can’t take life for granted, and while I love to travel, simply living for the next holiday is no real way to spend a life. 

So while I won’t be giving up Classy Travel Guides any time soon, my goal is to start sharing more of the in-betweeny bits - not only the struggles and the behind-the-scenes of being a travel creator, but also the little ways I’m trying to romanticise real life again.
