10 Road Trip Tips from an Ex Delivery Driver

Published on by kylieuk6 Comments

Now here’s something I may not have mentioned on my blog before.  I am a girl, I’m 5ft4 inches tall AND I hold a UK class 2 truck license.  Think the size of a bin lorry (garbage truck), fire engine, a coach with no passengers, anything that’s rigid, up to 4 axels.  I may not have taken up truck driving, but I was a delivery driver for 3 years.  I was on the road, 6 days a week, averaging around 10 hours a day during the week.  I picked up things that made my life on the road easier and now I’m going to share some of my best road trip tips with you!

Travelling on a USA Green Card

Published on by kylieukLeave a comment

I wasn’t too concerned about the differences of travelling on a green card, all I knew was that I HAD to make sure that little bit of plastic came with me, along with my passport, otherwise getting back into America would have been a right pain! This is my first experience travelling with one, please be aware that countries/airlines/airports may be slightly different!

Things to be Thankful For

Published on by kylieuk4 Comments

Recently there just seems to have been so much negativity around.  First there was Brexit, then there was the US election (yep I was lucky enough to live through both, I emigrated between the two events) and I’ll be honest that I’ve not always exactly looked at my life in America in a positive light.  Considering it’s Thanksgiving, what better time to write a post about the small things that I should be thankful for?!

I’m Proud to Call my Parents my ‘Best Friends’

Published on by kylieuk3 Comments

Today, my parents have been married for 30 years.  Yay!  Go them!  I couldn’t have wished for better parents, they are my best friends and my inspiration and I wouldn’t have it any other way.  For nearly 28 years I have lived with them at home.  I see things in the news saying ‘oh it’s sad, children are still living at home at 30’, yes maybe, but part of me never wanted to move out and it’s not because it’s a ‘cushy’ lifestyle.

To My Long Distance Sister

Published on by kylieuk2 Comments

How bad do I feel?  I’m the eldest ‘child’, my parents had my sister so I’d always have a friend in life no matter what.  And now I’m moving 4000 miles away with a whole ocean between us.  I hope we NEVER feel like we are an only child because we won’t get to see each other as often as we may like, no matter how far apart we are we will always be Sisters and I’ll always be on the end of a FaceTime call.  So this post, is for you, my (soon to be *sniff*) long distance Sister, Lisa.

The Importance of Fulfilling a Childhood Dream

Published on by kylieukLeave a comment

I can’t remember exactly how old I was, early high school years maybe, a family friend of ours had just returned from travelling around Australia.  Every time he had rang home, his mum had put a pin on a map, I thought it was awesome.  He then showed me the photos of him climbing up the Sydney Harbour Bridge and that was it, I knew I had to do it too…climb up a bridge, how cool!!!  From that point, I had made it my goal that one day I would visit Australia, 10000 miles away.  It was the first thing on my bucket list and something I was desperate to complete ASAP.
