A Backpackers Blackberry Breakfast Bruschetta Recipe

I have escaped London to the country and it is amazing! Autumn is probably my favourite time of year to disappear for a few weeks of rambling through fields. Not only are the trees all changing colour giving it a glorious Van Gough feel but the autumn fruits and vegetables …

A Country Beetroot and Egg Breakfast Bruschetta Recipe

Autumn is a great time to escape to the country, especially if you have just done a summer backpacking around Europe.  Maybe you have a great tan with a beer belly to match, or maybe you are worn out from seeing so many museums, churches and piazzas. If so a …

An English Farmers Market Frittata

Wet weather, warm beer, crowded streets and bad food are what most people expect when they head off on an English adventure. The first three may still be true but ‘bad food’ definitely isn’t. England has gone through a culinary revolution since the eighties thanks to likes of Rick Stein, Jamie …

About the Lite Backpacker

Hello, I’m Helen, AKA The Lite Backpacker – an Australian with an English accent (thanks to having one English parent) on the 30 side of my 20s. Like so many Australians, at 18 I packed up my backpack and headed to Europe, flittering from museum to bar for nearly a year. When I came home I thought I had gotten the “travel bug” out of my system as well as putting on an unhealthy amount of “backpacking weight”. Instead, within 6 months I had booked my next trip, with a vow of finding a way to enjoy travel food without the weight gain. Read More about “About Me”…
