About


Hi, I’m Gemma, the one who wears the Yellow Coat. Do you ever find yourself muddling through life and travel situations, wondering how you ever got there? Here we might not have the answers, but we do have the stories. Whether it’s hiring your first car abroad that breaks down on the side of an alpine valley, travelling for two months with only two t-shirts, navigating the pitfalls of living away from home for the first time or trying to work out if a roof tent will work on a 1 litre VW up! Here we try to break the illusion of social media and embrace the chaotic, messy and unexpected side of being human. This blog is a collection of stories from the last few years of my life, living, learning and growing up as I get ready to face the daunting adult world. Welcome to The Yellow Coat Project, the student life and travel blog you didn’t know you needed.
