Taking the long way around
Episode 49 – Podcast Updated Today
We are coming up to a full year of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast and I can’t believe it.
A year! In a few weeks we will be releasing episode 52 of the weekly show. It has gone so quickly.
Josh and I started it for a laugh, as a way to catch up, and simply out of interest. It is not professional and we don’t have big plans for it. We just want to chat and if anyone finds comfort or entertainment in it, that’s great.
In the latest episode we chat about chaos on the Eurostar, eating vegan food in Disneyland, and the experience of seeing Pulp in concert in 2025.

Land & Monkeys Is a Dream Come True in Paris
I still remember the days when eating vegan in Paris meant cobbling together a picnic from a health food shop.
Those times were fine, and we did what we had to do, but what a different city it is now. And right at the top of the “what a time to be alive” list is Land & Monkeys.

Vegan at Disneyland Paris: Not Just Chips (Anymore)
I recently found myself back inside Disneyland Paris for the first time in more than twenty years.
Yes, two full decades have passed since I last roamed those pastel-paved walkways and heard It’s a Small World on an endless loop. And let me tell you, while the park has changed in a lot of ways, one thing has definitely improved: vegan food.

10 Vegan Cities I’d Visit If I Wasn’t Skint And In Debt
There are few things I love more than planning imaginary trips to places I can’t afford.
You know the vibe. One browser tab open to a budget spreadsheet with minus numbers, another tab open to an article about the best vegan pizza in Naples.
So instead of pretending I’ve been everywhere and know it all, here’s my list of 10 cities around the world I would visit as a vegan… if my bank account didn’t look like a horror film.
Please read below for the full fantasy holiday rundown.
My First Ever Instagram Post Was a Beautiful Disaster
I’ve just realised something both hilarious and heartwarming.
My first ever Instagram post was made all the way back on 27 May, 2013. That means I have been faffing about on the app for nearly 12 years. A dozen years of food pics, community updates, bad choices, and thankfully not too many selfies.
But here is the twist. My blog actually started in December 2010. That is two and a half years of vegan ramblings online before I ever even thought to open the Instagram app. Why did it take me so long?
