DROUGHTLANDER IS FINALLY OVER 🏴 ⚔️ ✨ ••••• Woohoo, my favourite programme @Outander_Starz is back on TV. So to celebrate, I’m going to post a wee Outlander series of some of my favourite film locations in Scotland! •••• Let’s start with Clava Cairns. Not technically a film location, but as it’s so close to Inverness many fans visit here as it looks like Craigh Na Dun! 😍 ••••• Last year I did a little Outlander pilgrimage (if you will) and went to over 60 of the filming locations there. But, I haven’t shared any of the photos on here yet 🙈 oops. ••••• But, If you’d like to see more, check out my NEW blog post with 90+ film locations you can visit around the world from all 5 seasons! 😝 ••••• 📸: just me and my tripod - yes I struggled to flick my dress myself in the pouring down rain 🤣) ••••• #outlander #outlanderseason5 #clavacairns #craighnadun #outlanderobsessed #droughtlanderisover #visitscotland #historicscotland #culloden #lovescotland #thisisscotland

✨🙏🏻 108 MANE / MANDALA TOP 🌙🕉 ••••• As part of my recent travels to India I made another trip to the North East! It’s one of the most underrated parts of the country and I absolutely love it (although it does come with challenges) 😂 ••••• One of my favourite states is Arunachal Pradesh, one of the least visited states in India. It’s untouched with limited information about it, making it a real adventure into the unknown 🙌🏻 West Kameng is home to Monpa tribes, villages, Buddhist monasteries and endless mountains ✨ ••••• One of the newest attractions that opened up there in 2018 is 108 Mandala top! An initiative set up by families in the area to each donate a Buddhist stupa on the hill. At 10,000 feet I could really feel the altitude of the Himalayas and it was one of the coolest places I visited there so I now have a whole blog post about it 😝 ••••• I can’t wait to show you more of this beautiful part of India. I visited all seven states and I’ll be sharing all my photos and top tips soon 👌🏻 ••••• Tell me: have you heard of Arunachal Pradesh? ✨ ••••• 📸: myself (tripod) ••••• #arunachalpradesh #108mane #mandalatop #tawang #dirang #northeastindia #incredibleindia #indiadiaries #india_gram #instaindia #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #travelcreatives #wearetravelgirls #femaletravelbloggers #buddhism🙏 #indiaphotography

TEA PLANTATIONS IN MUNNAR ✌🏻 (press trip with @indiasomeday) ••••• One of my bucket list items in Munnar was to visit one of the many beautiful tea plantations in this incredible hill station of Kerala! But, when I got here I was disappointed that many of them were super touristy, blocked off and you couldn’t go inside them! 😤 ••••• Although you can visit many of the tea factories in Munnar, you can’t visit the plantations to get some photos which is a shame 😫 ••••• So I was really happy when I found out that @route49adventures had a private tour of Lockhart Tea Plantation with a permit to explore. We took a jeep to go off roading and it was so much fun! I would highly recommend this while you’re in Munnar to beat the crowds! 🙌🏻 my top tips for visiting tea plantations in Munnar is also now on the blog! (Link in stories) ••••• Tell me: have you explored a tea plantation before?? ••••• 📸: myself (tripod) ••••• #munnar #keralatourism #keraladiaries #munnardiaries #incredibleindia #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #girlsthatwander #ladieswhotravel #southindia #girlstravel #solotraveller #lonelyplanetindia #natgeoindia

HELLO FROM FORT KOCHI ✌🏻 (press trip with indiasomeday) ••••• I absolutely loved Fort Kochi in Kerala (although there technically isn’t a fort anymore)! For such a small place it was a powerhouse of history. The Portuguese settled here in 1501 when a famous sailor called Vasco da Gama wanted to trade for spices! After that the Dutch took over the trade route and then following that the British Raj. ••••• Now, following all those settlements and independence, there’s a perfect synergy of Christian churches, Hindu temples, colonial buildings, Indian markets, a fantastic art scene and hospitable people! ••••• While I was here I had the honour of watching a Kathakali Dance too. This performance is inspired by the Hindu epic the Ramayan. The training for this form of dance takes 6 years! 😱 Swipe right to see more 👉🏻 ••••• Tell me: do you love places with lots of history and culture ? ••••• 📸: myself (tripod) ••••• #fortkochi #kerala360 #keralagram #kochi #kochidiaries #indiagram #kerala_gram #india_lens #indiadiaries #thisisindia #india_everyday #indiaclicks #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #dametraveler #iamtb #sidewalkerdaily #journeysofgirls #womentravel #streetsofindia #natgeoindia #lonelyplanetindia #doyoutravel #indiaphotography

GOD’S OWN COUNTRY 🙌🏻🐟 🇮🇳 (press trip) ••••• I’m SO excited to firstly be back in India (my second home) and secondly to be in Kerala with @indiasomeday! I’m here for the next 8 days exploring the historic Fort Kochi, the hills of Munnar and the backwaters of Alleppey. This is my 17th state in India so stay tuned on my stories😍 ••••• Of course, how could I visit Fort Kochi (or Cochin to nostalgic locals) without a stop at the famous Chinese fishing nets ?! I took an amazing spice trail walking tour with @gully.tours to check them out and I learned so much history. According to legend, a Chinese fisherman called Zheng He introduced these nets to the fishermen here 500 years ago 😱😱 ••••• Today, the ones on the Fort Kochi side are more of a tourist trap for photos like mine 🤣but hey I don’t mind tipping! If you did want to see the fisherman in action though get a ferry to Vypin Island - it’s 3 rupees, less then 2 km away from Fort Kochi and you get to talk to locals 🙌🏻 ••••• Tell me: have you ever been to Kerala? Would you like too? ••••• 📸: Bal from gully.tours ••••• #keralagram #kerala_360 #kerala_gram #keralagodsowncountry #fortkochi #fortkochibeach #chinesefishingnets #indiasomeday #gullytours #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #wearetravelgirls #incredibleindiaoffical #girlsthatwander #india_gram #india_lens #indiapictures #kerala360 #iamtb #sidewalkerdaily #discoverunder100k

TREVI FOUNTAIN IN ROME 💫✨ ••••• My favourite spot in all of Rome was this very fountain! Although it’s a beautiful photo spot there’s actually quite a lot of interesting facts about it you may not be aware of; 1. There are 1,352 fountains in Rome! 2. The Trevi is one of Rome’s oldest water sources dating back to Ancient Rome 3. There was a competition to design the fountain 4. Nicola Salvi won, but he died before it was finished 5. The money raised to create the fountain was from a lottery game making it less expensive! 6. It’s made from the same material as the Colosseum 7. It collects over €3,000 euros everyday that get donated to charity ••••• Tell me: have you visited the Trevi fountain? Would you like to? ••••• 📸: my mum! ••••• #trevifountain #romeitaly #romeandyou #rome🇮🇹 #romecityworld #rometravel #romecity #topeuropephoto #topitalyphoto #italy_vacations #italytravel #italy_stop #italy_creative_pictures #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #wearetravelgirls #girlsvsglobe #girlsthatwander #womentravel #iamtb #femaletravelbloggers #beautiful_destinations #italian_city #trevi #fontanaditrevi #travelbloggerlife

THE COLOSSEUM IN ROME 💫✨ ••••• It’s always been on my bucket list to visit the Colosseum in Rome. But, I was really enlightened by learning about its gruesome history! Did you know that gladiators that fought here were not really even classed as humans? They were buried with animals as they were seen as that low in rank. ••••• Throughout history over 400,000 people died inside the colosseum plus over 1 million animals! That’s shocking right?! 🤯🤯 it was also built by slaves and was a symbol of capital punishment! ••••• I’m not trying to be negative but I find those facts mind blowing. Of course it’s a wonder of the world, but what makes ME wonder is why it’s such a romantic symbol for some despite its horrible history 🤔 ••••• What’s your opinion on the matter? 🙌🏻 ••••• 📸: my mum! ••••• #colosseum #colosseo #igersroma #ig_roma #instaroma #igersrome #visitrome #framesofitaly #romeandyou #instarome #italy365 #loves_roma #browsingitaly #romanity #ilikeitaly #wheninrome #buongiornoroma #italia365 #exploringitaly #sheisnotlost #summer4igers #wearetravelgirls #dametraveler #sidewalkerdaily #italian_trips #darlingescapes #thetravelwomen #prettylittleitaly #ig_rome
