You might think the people who do volunteering programmes abroad would be people who actually, you know, care about volunteering. But, sadly, that’s not the case at all. Or, at least, it wasn’t the case for me.

I spent ten weeks volunteering with a charity last autumn, but it wasn't exactly the experience I hoped it would be.

On my travels I spent two weeks with a #MAGA fan, who also happens to be one of my favourite people in the world… and I can’t reconcile the two

I caught up with Connor, Tom and Ben from Choir of Man in Melbourne, to discuss Adelaide Fringe, masculinity and what’s next for the show

Why I chose to take a little break from education

I spoke to Nicole about her children’s book and why it’s important to talk about mental health from a young age

Don't worry, there are still plenty of people out there who believe in equality

After the tent collapsed part-way through their show (it’s Fringe - anything can happen!), I spoke with Yianni, Clare, Kat and Nadia about the other challenges the Fringe presents and why the arts are important

I spoke to Chelsea, Jayden and Kiara about their personal struggles with mental health issues and the advice they’d give those who are also struggling

I chatted with Roman MC about his first Fringe and the advice he’d give to young aspiring performers

I spoke to Dan about the mental health organisation and the services they provide

A slightly baffling mixture of brilliant singing and not-so-brilliant dancing
