Hey, I’m Sam!

A 28 year old from the Scottish Highlands with a great passion for photography, exploring the world and good coffee – all while sticking to a shoestring budget and navigating the daily rollercoaster of Type 1 Diabetes.

My aim here is to create a practical travel resource with useful information to help inspire, plan and achieve your own travel goals. I’m also here to prove that backpacking with Type 1 Diabetes is not only possible but absolutely encouraged!

So stick around for travel tips, itineraries, inspiration and more!
