A Year of Starry-Eyed Travels

Starry-Eyed Travels is a year old today! To celebrate, I have cake, streamers, balloons – and the chance to take a look back at just a few of the posts from the year.

It has been quite a journey – from its inception a year ago as a personal project, Starry-Eyed Travels is now read by people all over the world and has gained a team of fantastic guest writers. I have charted my own adventures and development from novice backpacker to well-seasoned traveller and hopefully provided stories and photos to inspire you along the way.

It’s Photo Friday, but we’re looking ahead to the weekend! Sticking with our theme of Cities & Culture, but in complete contrast to last week’s image, we’re heading to the heart of South America…

New Year Travel Plans, Pirate-Style

Posted by Katy Stewart on Dec 28, 2011 in Features, News, Views & Reviews | 7 comments

As we bring in the New Year, I will be more than ready to set sail once more on voyages across the seas, so perhaps it is quite apt that I will be dressed as a pirate, a costume I have to get sorted this week! However, I will be land-bound for much of this year as I train to be a teacher, so I’m going to have to plan my travel pretty carefully indeed. Now, planning ahead is not exactly my strong suit, so this is going to be a bit of a challenge. So I’m starting early, whittling down my wishlist to a few realistic destinations and thinking about short trips close to home that will nevertheless provide some unforgettable experiences.
