Hi, I'm Claire! I'm a full-time travel blogger who focuses on overland journeys (planes, trains and boats are my jam), lesser touristy destinations and I also post about South West England, which is where I live. I split my time between the South West and travel, when I take my work with me on the road. On this channel, expect vlogs from my different trips (including train, bus and boat vlogs), local tips for exploring South West England (I know Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Bristol really well) and travel tips and hacks that I've uncovered after travelling for six years, to over 60 countries - many of them solo. I'm passionate about uncovering people's stories and love finding interesting, thought-provoking angles to destinations around the world - but I also don't take myself too seriously and love injecting a dash of humour into my videos. Do stick around, hit the subscribe button, and drop me a comment! Thanks for stopping by!

I'll never fly again... Ever wondered what it’s like to spend 16 hours on a Silja Line cruise ship across the Baltic Sea? In this video, I board the Silja Symphony, one of the most iconic Tallink Silja ships, for the full Stockholm to Helsinki ferry experience. The Silja Line Stockholm to Helsinki route is often seen as a bucket-list Helsinki to Stockholm cruise, offering duty-free shopping, live entertainment, and dramatic views of the archipelago. But is this overnight journey on a Silja Line ferry worth it in 2025? Join me as I explore everything on board this Tallink cruise—from the cabins and buffets to the bizarre late-night scenes that made this trip feel unexpectedly wild. Whether you’re planning a trip from Helsinki to Stockholm or looking for insights on Tallink cruises, this is the real experience—no gloss, no promo. 🎥 Watch before you book your Helsinki to Stockholm ferry or Tallink Silja adventure.
