My name is Iona (like the island) and I am a 20 yr-old living in London. I tend to spend my time drifting off into daydreams about travelling to dark, distant parts of the globe with nothing but a camera and a backpack of junk…
I like to think that I’ve led quite an interesting life so far, albeit difficult at times. My parents divorced after some rather unhappy years for all of us when I was 10, which left me in quite a turbulent and unstable environment. I had to do a lot of emotional and mental growing up quite quickly. This, combined with the pressures placed on me mainly by myself, but also from my family and school, left me in a fragile state which put both my physical and mental health at risk.
I started this blog as an outlet- I’ve always loved writing and travelling, and by putting a bit of myself into each post I can use this as a kind of gentle therapy. Plus, it’s something I really enjoy and that can never be a bad thing, hey?
Feel free to ask me anything- whether you’re looking for advice, info or just a quick chat to swap travel or life times, get in touch!

Thanks for following my blog; I hope you find plenty that’s interesting. I’m returning the favour, because you’ve posted some stunning photos, and you made it to Mongolia, whereas I’ve only read about people travelling there…

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! If you can stomach it, Mongolia is one of the most incredible and varied places- I feel very lucky to have been there before the age of 10!
