I constantly yearn for adventure, yet I'm terrible at it. I always panic. In my mind, I'm not good enough. I look to other people for guidance or really to save me from the situation I've found myself in. I am not very confident and I am a very negative person. I am not the …
What Does 2019 Hold For Me?
2018 was very up and down for me. I had a lot of problems I didn't anticipate come up. I ended up switching jobs unexpectedly, which meant I ended up not travelling as much as I wanted. I have been writing, but I'm nowhere near completing the goals I had set. 2018 ended up being …
Dealing with Neuroticism
I have always been a very neurotic person, even since childhood. I think I'll always be neurotic, it's so ingrown as part of my personality. I never really thought I go places. The world was so big, and so scary! There was no way someone like me could go travelling! As I'm getting older, my …
The Magical Lives of Cats
Phoebe and Einstein are a joy to have in our house, and they get better and better each day. Here's their 18 month update. Phoebe has her own little toys, and god help you if you try to take them from her! She's taken to playing a lot with her little ball with the bell …
Snowmageddon!
I love the aesthetic of snow. It's so beautiful and ethereal to me, and I'd love to visit places in Scandinavia and Iceland where they do snow 'properly' as it seems like a magical dreamland to me. I hate snow in London. Even though the British love to talk and complain about the weather, we're …
My First 20K Walk!
(Okay, so maybe the title is slightly misleading as I have walked 20k before, but not in an event like this before.) On 14th January, my family and I took part in an walking event called the London Winter Walk hosted by Action Challenge. While my aunt and uncle had participated in these events before, …
Things I Learnt in 2017
Things I learnt about myself in 2017... You are braver than you ever imagined. You've been further than you ever dreamed this year, and that in itself is amazing. Get out more. You're young. Travel isn't always easy or happy, and that's okay. Being alone isn't half bad. December might always be hard, but it'll …
An Unpopular Opinion on Stranger Things
On paper, Stranger Things is a show I should love. I love the whole supernatural/alien angle, the government being involved a la Stephen King's Firestarter and I think the kids are fantastic. And I liked the first series. I just didn't love it as much as everyone else. It was enjoyable, but I didn't find …
Today I Am In…
Japan! I'm currently in the air on my way to Osaka. I'm going to be staying with my friends and we have lots of adventures planned, including trips to Kyoto and Nara! I've got blogs already scheduled and I'll see you in two weeks!
My Blog’s First Birthday!
Today it's my blog's first birthday, and what a year it's been! I've done so much this year that I never expected to, and it's been so fun. It's been so great to document my feelings and what I've been doing, almost like an online diary as it's shown me how much I've grown as …
