W a n d e r l u s t W e d n e s d a y 🖤 The #Wanderlust is strong today ................ (probably because I’m feeling sorry for myself as it’s a been a looooooong few weeks at work 🚑🙄😂😂😂) Visiting the #SheikhZayedGrandMosque in #AbuDhabi was dreamy AF 💭 I know I often chose to visit South East Asia for many of my travel adventures because it’s cheap, cheerful, a shit load of fun, has a high percentage of glorious beaches and well, who doesn’t love a Bintang Radler overlooking Mount Agung at sunset (throwback to a WILD few days on Nusa Penida)!!!! ............................. But truth be told, it’s the Middle East that holds my heart! ....................................................💭💭💭 From driving the length of Jordan solo to navigating the crazy bazaars of Istanbul (possibly my favourite city in the world) to getting lost in the never ending alleyways of the Moroccan medinas to ladies night in Bahrain to the STUNNING architecture in the United Arab Emirates to the ancient history of Egypt! I love it all ..... the people, the food, the architecture, the culture, the religions. It’s definitely a little bit of me. I have got a long list of places I want to visit in this region once lockdown lifts! So if #COVID could just do one now that would great 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 #TheNomadicMedic #Nomadic #Medic #MedicAbroad #ParamedicsWhoTravel #Paramedic #Ambulance #AmbulanceService #EmergencyServices #NHSProfessionals #WorkLifeBalance #TravelAddict #Blog #Blogger #TravelBlogger #Travel #Traveller #FemaleTraveller #SoloTraveller #Explorer #Wanderlust #TravelAddict #Photography #Photographer #WanderlustWednesday

M e n t a l H e a l t h M a t t e r s •Approx 39% of ambulance staff suffer from PTSD •Approx 91% of ambulance staff have experienced stress or suffered poor mental health I know I definitely have. I have seen new life, death and just about everything in between. I have seen your worst nightmares. Working as a #Paramedic can be tiring, tedious, demanding, stressful and at times the pressures we face can be overwhelming especially during this recent global #Pandemic era. But it’s ok to feel like this. And it’s ok to admit that you are not ok. As part of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek I urge all my #Ambulance family to find something, whether it be a passion, hobby or a goal, that helps you to de-stress. For me that is travelling................................ Travelling is my passion and a new trip or adventure is what I strive for in life and what ultimately restores my happiness and helps the most with balancing my mental health but with all travel plans on hold for the foreseeable future, I have found myself at a bit of a loss lately. With no upcoming trips to look forward to I have found my mental health starting to falter and so I have been using other mechanisms to help deal with the monotony of the new way of life we are currently trying to navigate. Cycling is helping! I only got my own first road bike last year but I now regularly cycle 50KM+ at a time. Not only is cycling a great way to stay active but you also get to explore your local surroundings more! It’s the ultimate form of escapism when things are just getting a bit too much ......................................................................... So my best advice to anyone else who is feeling a bit low at the moment ..... get on ya bike LITERALLY!!! (PS @berylbikes are currently giving #NHS staff a free hours use of their bikes!) 👊🏼🚴🏻‍♀️ #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthAtWork #SelfCareIsntSelfish #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #ItsGoodToTalk #BeKind #BeKindToYourself

H a p p y H u m p D a y 🐪 For those of you who have no clue what day it is anymore, it’s Wednesday ! 😂 The #Wanderlust is strong today ..... 💭 I’m currently dreaming of being back in #Jordan, getting wonderfully lost in the other worldly deserts of #WadiRum 🌵 What a fucking awesome trip that was ! Driving solo (in a car not a camel, obvs 🙄) from the North to the South of the country without getting lost was definitely one of my biggest travel achievements 👊🏼🤙🏼 Instead I am still in bed, making the most of a couple of days off doing sweet FA in between busy ambulance shifts! #TheNomadicMedic #Nomadic #Medic #MedicAbroad #ParamedicsWhoTravel #Paramedic #Ambulance #AmbulanceService #EmergencyServices #NHSProfessionals #WorkLifeBalance #TravelAddict #Blog #Blogger #TravelBlogger #Travel #Traveller #FemaleTraveller #SoloTraveller #Explorer #Wanderlust #TravelAddict #Photography #Photographer #HumpDay #VisitJordan #MyJordanJourney

T e a m G r e e n 💚 Being a #Paramedic during a #Pandemic is no easy feat but thanks to the awesome people I work with it has been made that little bit easier ...................... 🚑 Hi fives to all my ambulance family who have kept me sane over the last few weeks with the banter, the cake (there has been a LOT of cake), the cuppas and the kindness .......................................... 🤙🏼🖐🏼🙌🏼 You are all AWESOME 👊🏼 @amandachainey #TheNomadicMedic #Nomadic #Medic #MedicAbroad #ParamedicsWhoTravel #Paramedic #Ambulance #AmbulanceService #EmergencyServices #NHSProfessionals #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCareIsntSelfish #ItsOkayToNotBeOk #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAtWork #WorldMentalHealthDay #ItsGoodToTalk #BeKindToYourself #StayHomeProtectTheNHSSaveLives #ClapForTheNHS #ClapForOurCarers @swast @swambulancecharity @nhsprofessionals @nhsenglandldn @awesome_movement @bournemouthconnect

M e n t a l H e a l t h M o n d a y 🖤 Just a little reminder to you all to take care of yourselves (especially my ambulance family) as the expectation of being immersed in the pain, sadness and suffering of people on a daily basis and not be affected is about as unrealistic as being immersed in water and not getting wet. There is no shame in taking some time out 🚑✌🏼 #TheNomadicMedic #Nomadic #Medic #MedicAbroad #ParamedicsWhoTravel #Paramedic #Ambulance #AmbulanceService #EmergencyServices #NHSProfessionals #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCareIsntSelfish #ItsOkayToNotBeOk #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAtWork #WorldMentalHealthDay #ItsGoodToTalk #BeKindToYourself

E a r t h D a y ............. 🌍💙 “We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors; we borrow it from our children” There is no doubt that the #Coronovirus has had some devastating effects around the world but there is a silver lining to all of this. Air and water quality has improved. Greenhouse gas emissions have fallen. Pollution levels are dramatically down. Wildlife is repopulating. Tourist hot spots that are so often over crowded are recovering and once again flourishing ..... The world is finally getting a chance to pause and breathe. The world is healing ..... We are seeing a different world. Whilst it shouldn’t have taken a global #Pandemic for humankind to begin to realise just how destructive our impact is on the planet, I sincerely hope that moving forward we all begin to take note that we must do more in order to carefully protect #MotherEarth ! Although it’s a bummer that there is no travel allowed for the foreseeable future, I am super grateful that I’ve had the chance to go to so many amazing places and I know that the world will soon be open for business and looking more lovely than ever ! So until then, I will just sit tight and reminisce about some of my favourite places on this beautiful and incredible planet knowing that my post lockdown adventure is going to be fucking EPIC (cue Padar Island, Indonesia ⬆️) ..........................✌🏼 #TheNomadicMedic #Nomadic #Medic #MedicAbroad #ParamedicsWhoTravel #Paramedic #Ambulance #AmbulanceService #EmergencyServices #NHSProfessionals #WorkLifeBalance #TravelAddict #Blogger #TravelBlogger #Travel #Traveller #FemaleTraveller #SoloTraveller #Explorer #Wanderlust #TravelAddict #Photography #Photographer #EarthDay #EarthDay2020 #EarthDayEveryDay #SaveThePlanet #BeTheChange @bbcearth @bbc_travel @sheisnotlost @travelbloggeres

L O V E 🖤 There is so much #LOVE online right now ..... not just for my incredible #NHS pals around the county but for the country in general! (I’m choosing to ignore the haters out there that want to criticise the Government and the #NHS because let’s face it, could they do any better in a similar situation? Probably not! 🙄) Instead I am focusing on the amazing people doing some truly amazing things (yes I am talking to you @captaintommoore 🙌🏼) and it really is inspiring to see how people are coping in these challenging times of global pandemic and national lockdown! It seems that as the world is getting scarier the internet is well, finally, getting a little bit kinder ! Let’s hope this continues post #Covid19 ...................... 👊🏼 I have also been humbled by the huge amount of LOVE and GENEROSITY that has been shown to the #AmbulanceService over the last few weeks! Each act of kindness, every donation no matter how big or small and all the kind words and #ClapForOurCarers campaigns really do boost the morale of all the #FrontlineWorkers ! Keep up the good work Great Britain .... for once #ProudToBeBritish ................... 🇬🇧 #TheNomadicMedic #Nomadic #Medic #MedicAbroad #ParamedicsWhoTravel #Paramedic #Ambulance #AmbulanceService #EmergencyServices #NHSProfessional #SupportOurNHS #ClapForOurCarers #ClapForOurNHS #StayHomeProtectTheNHSSaveLives #BeKind #TuesdayThoughts #ThoughtsOfTheDay
