Who are you?✈️✨
My name is Char and I am London-based travel blogger specialising in affordable luxury, solo travel and a sprinkle of beauty. 📍🇬🇧
I have a 9-5 so this is what you’d call my ‘side-hustle’. Essentially this is my little space on the internet I’ve used to document my travel, my memoirs and my musings, hence the name – Memoirs and Musings.
Why did you start this blog?
I have been in and out the Bloggersphere since the days of LiveJournal and when Tumblr was the originally ‘cool’ blogging platform. Over the years, this industry has changed so much, I do question if I am actually part of it or if I’m on the outskirts looking in. I wouldn’t say I was your ‘typical’ blogger either. I don’t care about getting the perfect flat lay or feeling bad for not posting, I just enjoy writing. If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading.
Where have you been?
At the time of writing (July 2023), I have visited approx over 50 countries across Europe, North and Central America, The Middle East, The Caribbean, Africa and South East Asia.
What travel tips can you give me?
Affordable luxury travel tips for those of us on a budget.
How to travel the world with a 9 to 5. I have visited 12 destinations in 12 months – twice. Read the posts here and here.
Solo travel tips, just book the flight!
What are your favourite beauty products to travel with?
Sheetmasks (I love When Beauty cellulose masks and Dr Jart), coconut oil (It doubles as skincare and haircare) and cuticle oil.
What are you interested in outside travel?
Cancelled plans, white wine, concerts, sheetmasks, Harry Potter (Team Slytherin), The Sims and spa trips.
