Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall.
And I’m just getting started.
If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue. Remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
Where's my backpack? 
Great adventures… I look forward to reading more
Hey, good stuff.
Thanks for popping over to say hi. x a
Wow!! I am a new reader here! Looking fwd to read more!
Hi there! I don’t know if you do awards, but I love reading your posts and traveling vicariously through them because I’m stuck in the USA for awhile longer (:
I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award…it’s an award designed to promote blog-readership, and give great bloggers a well-deserved round of internet applause. You can find out more on this award here:

Oh yes, it was just so magical, lovely to meet a fellow Krumlov fan and kindred spirit. xxx Ailsa
Hi Ailsa,
Of all the blogs I read regularly, yours is one of my favourites. I get so much enjoyment out of doing your photo challenges each week.
I know that not everyone is into blog awards, so I hope you don’t mind that I’ve nominated yours for the One Lovely Blog Award: http://jaspasjourney.wordpress.com/2014/09/07/nominations-are-like-buses/

You have a point. And I agree to the “Small World” idea. Let me go with you in you travel… and I will do it here…

Interesting Blog..
Hurrah, get packing! 🙂 Ailsa
Hi Ailsa. Thanks for following Miscellaneous Eclectica. I hope you enjoy it.
Hi Ailsa, I nominated you to share your taste of travel menu, read about it here: http://anewlifewandering.com/2014/12/01/my-ideal-taste-of-travel-menu/
Just playing catch up and saw this a little too late, but I too am a big fan of insalata caprese, yum! 🙂
With your established and no doubt well-honored blog, you probably do not want or need any more award nominations! I was pretty excited to get one myself, however, since my blog is still in its infancy, and I listed your blog as one of my favorites as part of my post. Please feel free to ignore the assignment, and just know how much I love your blog!
Just catching up with comments now, what a lovely surprise to find your nomination, thank you so much! ❤ Ailsa
Most Fridays I wait with bated breath to see what your word will be, Ailsa, so I can build a post about my travels around it. So when I included you in my list of blogs that inspire me, I REALLY meant it. Literally! I’m sure others have already nominated you multiple times for a Very Inspirational Blogger Award in the past, but it never harms to tell someone that we appreciate them! 🙂
Just catching up on comments, what a lovely surprise to come across this, thank you so much! ❤ Ailsa
You’re welcome, Ailsa!
I love love your blog! Definitely following you!
Nice to meet you KD, looking forward to hearing about your adventures. x Ailsa

Hi Carrie, just write from the heart, visit other people’s sites and interact, say hello, comment on their posts and soon enough you will find yourself part of a community of like-minded writers. Most importantly, have fun! Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging.

Es realmente muy complejo en este llena de vida la actividad para escuchar las noticias
en la televisión, por lo tanto, simplemente uso de la web por esa razón, y obtener la información más reciente.

I’m an American living in Cornwall, and I’d just like to report that the gulls are asking you to come back. Really. They love you.
Love to travel, so nice to discover your blog today. 🙂
You can see the world in a totally different way through someone else’s perspective and what better way to show that than through photography. I love it, especially that I don’t get to travel.
