It’s Time to Talk About Mental Health

I'm not quite sure how to start this post, mainly because it's going to be extremely personal, and also because it's regarding the ~taboo~ subject of mental health. I would like to state now that I am in no way a mental health professional and I never ended up going to see anyone regarding my …

I’ve Decided to Move to Iceland (+ other life updates)

It's been just over a year since my last blog post and a ridiculous number of things have changed since then. As you may or may not know, I went travelling for 6 months. It was a bloody amazing experience and I would highly recommend that everyone should try and travel in some capacity! Even …

I’ve Fallen in Love with Greece

Wow, here we are, nearly at the end of our second week in Greece with three more weeks to go- and I don't want to leave.  I've fallen in love with this beautiful country, and specifically the island of Syros that we've been lucky enough to stay on.  I love the people, the food, the …

A Naples Adventure

After a 7 hour coach journey from Florence, we finally made it into Naples! As the coach slowly crept into the city centre we saw something very unexpected: poverty, and a lot of it. We drove passed, what I can only describe as shanty towns, on the edges of the city. Of course we've seen …

A Tale of Two Mums

Today is International Women's Day and I'm hundreds of miles away from the women who have inspired me my whole life. I'm extremely lucky to be so close with both of my mums, and yes even though Mother's Day is more expensive than Christmas, I wouldn't change a thing.  "Ok, but like, who is your …

My Bucket List

I am so lucky to have experienced lots of different things during my travels, however, it has opened my eyes to the many, many things and places that I have never experienced!

In Fair Verona, Where we Lay our Scene

I fell in love with Italy when I visited Venice on a school art trip about 10 years ago. My love for this beautiful country was reignited on a family holiday about 5 years ago to Lake Como, where we visited the surrounding area, including Verona. Which is why when we planned our Europe trip, …
