About The Well-Travelled Postcard
Welcome! I'm Virginia, a travel blogger and podcaster from the UK, a graduate of MA European Politics and BA European Languages, a serial expat, and travel is an utterly fundamental part of who I am. I hope to inspire you to get out and explore the world, through helping you find opportunities to travel, work, study and live abroad, and by sharing some of the amazing places I’ve encountered so far!

New post! The 8th painting in my series of The Well-Travelled Paintings is from the village of Kioni on the north-east coast of the small island Ithaca, in the Ionian Islands in Greece. 🇬🇷🏝 I took this photo from a yacht during a blissful day sailing around Ithaca, having set off from the larger neighbouring island of Kefalonia, where I was lucky to spend a whole month this spring. ⛵️☀️🌊
New blog post! [Link in bio] 📝🔗 I recently became a charity trustee for the first time, for the charity Raleigh International, who some might remember I volunteered with in rural Nepal for 4 months in 2016. 🇳🇵🌏 I’ve been over the moon about the role, right through the whole application process and into the trustee board meetings themselves! ✨
New blog post! ⚡️ After a writing-hiatus over a fantastically full summer, this post is about setting 'New Year' resolutions in September: How to seize that post-summer energy to help yourself and help change the world 🌍
1 year with Handsome 🥰
Pros at seeking out those hidden, empty beaches that no one else bothers to hike to 😉
1st stop in Kefalonia = major terrace goals. Complete with vino, G&T, saucisson & olives, Condé Nast, Hemingway & Hislop, and binos for dolphin-spotting & snooping on the superyachts... 😜
Seas the day 🌊 🇬🇷
A special bonus episode of The Well-Travelled Podcast is now live! 🎙 I recorded Series 1 of my podcast in 2020, but I also record one-off bonus episodes from my travels as and when I’m away, reminiscent of the postcards that originally inspired this blog and its name. This bonus episode comes live from my month-long trip to the Greek island of Kefalonia 🇬🇷 – my first trip abroad in 8 months due to the pandemic.
In extremely exciting news, the @uniofexeter @exeter_alumni judging panel have chosen me as a joint winner of the Alumni Volunteer Award 2021 for Exceptional Support of Students! 🏆✨ Thank you so much for this great accolade!! 🌟
