Travel, Develop, Explore

As much as I love #christmas I’m not enjoying this grey, wet and cold weather in #london BUT it’s cool as this time next week I’ll be back out in #srilanka looking for some of these awesome dudes 🐘😎🌎👍 #elephant #conservation #travel #educate #explore @flooglebinderuk (at Wasgamuwa National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqr58KhFk-O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r37fkrm0jnfo

A week on Sunday I’ll be running the #royalparks #halfmarathon for Cancer Research @cr_uk - training has been awful and it’s going to be one of the toughest I’ve done but that doesn’t matter - what I can raise with your help is what can make a difference - please donate if you can (link in bio) thank you xx - https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=BradFrankel&pageUrl=1 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bog1Cssgf-O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=go5cjw3fyooq

I’ve always loved being outdoors, whether it’s running, hiking, eating, drinking, working or simply chilling with friends and family with the fresh air and sun on your face. And, to top it off...being by the sea - I can’t explain that feeling of just stepping into the water and looking out - we all have an inherent connection to nature and you can’t beat it #outdoors #sea #camperlife #hiking #running #alfresco #eat #drink #sunset #sunrise #loveit (at Camber Sands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoWjoOpgBXV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qequ3q1vsye2

One of my favourite spots in the world. You don’t need to jump on a plane when you have awesome spots like this right here in the UK #love #wales #beach #surf #coasteering @tyfadventure #food #coffee #pizza @themeadowpembs @dustyknuckle_nz @st_davids_bunk_barns @flooglebinderuk (at Whitesands beach, St David's)

Something very special about this place #love #wales #coast #ocean #camping #campinglife (at Caerfai Beach)

An absolutely epic weekend @fvfestival - apparently the last one but I’ve heard that before, until next time 😜#fieldviewfestival #camping #festival #paddlingpool #fancydress #nextyear #wilderness (at Chippenham, Wiltshire)

Quality weekend - still feeling it, guess that’s what happens as the years pile on 😬😩😜 #broadwaymarket #londonfields @catandmutton @ntbar #hackney #london #summer #vibes #detox 💦😝 (at Netil House)

Quality film #wilderpeople @rooftopfilmclub (at Roof East)

Few beers @roofeast to start the birthday celebrations. Can’t beat a rooftop cinema in London in the summer - shame the Porsche is now a plant pot! #beers #birthday #celebrations #rooftop #love #london (at Roof East)

So, the end of another incredible trip - the same unexpected issues that often occur with travel, the same issues with food, sunburn, personality clashes and turtles not showing up when we want them to! ......... BUT the most important stuff usually goes unnoticed. New friendships made, old fears overcome, new things learnt and old perceptions passed. As students explore new places they explore themselves more than anything - similar backgrounds, similar studies, similar ages, similar interests, the same trip, YET completely different journeys. ......... For 12 days I take on a ‘guardian’ role for 21 students and do everything I can to make sure they’re safe, enjoy themselves, learn and have fun. It sometimes seems impossible to try and keep everyone happy but I do what I can and most of the time this also goes unnoticed but that’s my role and all I want is to see them enjoying the experience. ........ I know this trip will change some of their lives and it’s an incredible feeling to know that I’ve been part of that. ......... Another trip completed and more #Gamechangers created 👍🌎🐢 #bethechange #bcorp #sustainable #travel #educate #explore #develop #inspiration #gamechanger #explore #culture #community #conservation #mentalhealth #personaldevelopment @bcorpuk @bcorporation @flooglebinderuk @dofeuk @dofelondon @sdgs.platform @sdgsinuk @unenvironment @unitednations @sdgaction (at Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos")

It doesn’t get much more local than that #freshofftheboat #greece #explore #eatlocal #sustainable #travel @flooglebinderuk (at Gythion, Greece)

My little pink home for the next week ;) #greece #sustainable #travel #turtle #conservation #educate #develop #explore @flooglebinderuk (at Mavrovoúnion, Lakonia, Greece)

I love running when you get to a new place. Firstly, you’ve usually had a few days where your schedule is off and for those that enjoy training you know how frustrating that can be. You just feel a bit ‘urgh’, probably eaten lots of crap plane food, a few local treats and delicacies 😬, I mean it would be rude not to, right? 😜 - so it’s nice to stretch the legs and get out. But, the best thing about it is that you discover the most awesome spots. Here’s a little village 5km away that is absolutely stunning with a beautiful little port, quaint restaurants, local bars and incredible buildings that make you feel like you’ve stepped back a hundred years. We’ll definitely be back here for a meal or two #travel #explore #local #food #sustainable #culture #community #instagood #instatravel #train #run #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram @amberbence (at Gythion, Greece)
