I didn’t get sober to be “healthy”. I got sober because I nearly died — in the sea. At 6am.

Let me tell you about my recent adventure to the Eden Project — and wow, what a trip! If you haven’t been, it’s like stepping into a whole new world of lush greenery and futuristic architecture. This place is as awesome as it sounds, with its massive biomes housing all sorts of exotic plants and environments.
First off, the scale of it is seriously impressive. The Rainforest Biome is a full-on jungle experience, complete with towering trees and a steamy atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re actually in the tropics. And then there’s the Mediterranean Biome, which is like a sun-drenched escape with its olive trees and vibrant flowers.

Here’s the kicker, though — it was scorching hot inside those biomes. I mean, seriously, you step in and it’s like someone cranked up the heat to 11. I was practically melting by the time I got to the end of the Rainforest Biome. So, pro tip: dress light, stay hydrated, and maybe pack a fan if you’re sensitive to heat. But trust me, the experience is totally worth it.

Quit drinking on 23 July 2021 after a two-day bender and swapped bars for border crossings and 12-step meetings. Three sober years, 36 countries, 113 travellers (totally dry), fuelled by street food, jelly babies, and a broken Google Maps app. Wandersober is my journal, my SEO lab, and my mission. Featured in GQ, Mirror, Evening Standard, MarketWatch, and more.
