Elliot Baxter

Hiya everyone, my name is Elliot and I would love to be your travel editor this year!

Living in London can get stressful, even at the best of times. My favourite way of overcoming this is using any spare weekend I get to leave and explore other parts of the UK. I always do this on a budget whilst still getting to see some beautiful places. My last trip to Stratford– Upon-Avon was incredible and cost less that some people’s nights out!

I also love going on longer trips through Europe. Interrailing and hostelling whilst still ticking off many bucket list items.

I would absolutely love to share my love for travel with the medical school and beyond. Inspiring people to explore the places they saved on their Instagram reels years ago and disconnect from London and its air quality.

I have many ideas for the travel section of the Gazette. I would love a little section, perhaps even just a paragraph, written to encourage the audience to visit someone's hometown. Whether that be Hong Kong or Birmingham. I would also love to make the section budget friendly and transparent. Giving prices of everything mentioned and giving cheaper options where appropriate.

It would also be great to include some day trips from London for those times where life gets busy but we still need a break away. Also discussing different options for travel and their benefits and sharing any travel related news.
