Thanks to being in the right place at the right time on facebook one morning, I managed to get tickets for myself and Beth to see our hero and national treasure, Sir David Attenborough. I was uncontrollably excited as I was beginning to worry that as my idol had just celebrated his 90th birthday, I…
After having the worst night’s sleep I think I had since the start of our Indian excursions due to waking up feeling an unfamiliar chill in the night (one thing I did not expect to be feeling in India) and being kept awake by the howling, honking fanfare that surrounded my apartment every night, I…
We had a glorious lie in after the best night’s sleep we had had since we reached India. Amy and Charlotte practically dragged us to a pancake house for breakfast ( incredibly Western I know but by this point, we were desperately craving variety). The food was amazing, we had banana pancakes with honey and…
Ok, so after a bit of a break from writing my travel guide for Wales, I am back with a vengeance and ready to provide all you lovely people with part two of the definitive guide to North Wales! So, in part one (Check it out here…https://thejetsetvet.com/what-to-do-when-wandering-wales-now-that-could-be-a-tongue-twister/) I gave you all a run-down of my…

After days of threateningly ominous looking clouds hanging over Jaipur, the rain finally came and we were blessed with a full day of the “wet stuff” we Brits try desperately to avoid. As a result, I was soon to discover my little apartment was in desperate need of plastering as a number of small leaks…
This is potentially a bit of a controversial post and it by no means reflects on my opinion of the entirety of India, but after umming and ahhing about if I should post this, in the end, this is the truth of my experiences while there so I think it needs to be said. So…
I think I should start by pointing out that I am not a coordinated person, nor am I the sort of person who has any vague sense of balance….so naturally when one of my housemates suggested putting a vet ski trip together I was the first to sign up! After months of planning, multiple trips…
On our first day off from working at Help in Suffering we decided to try and see some of the sights of Jaipur. In the early hours of the morning, I had a bit of a funny fainty spell and felt rather sick and dizzy (typical when we were just about to have our day…
