Adventures for the wild hearted
So I've been told that I need to learn to celebrate my achievements more, which is probably a good mindset to have as we are our own biggest critics. I've been setting off on a good foot and going in 2018 I've already achieved two important goals / dreams. So firstly... Last year, I began …
What a year it has been, 2017 will forever be etched in my brain as one of the best years of my life. Following it's predecessor that was filled with heartbreak, bereavement, and depression, I took a leap of faith at the end and headed out into the great unknown. By the time January was rolling around …
Today on the 5th of April 2017 is my 25th birthday. I am officially *gulp* a quarter of a century old and time shows no signs of slowing down. This month is also special because I am approaching my 6 month mark on the road traveling across South East Asia (my current location is Cambodia). …
I could go on about how Valentine's day is a social construct, a commodity cashing in on the media represented pressure of displaying affection on this particular day of the year.

The classic “girl falls for boy, boy turns out to be a sociopath/narcissist/alcoholic” story. That old chesnut. I started to question myself and my judge of character and think, "maybe it’s me?" or “perhaps …
During the first month of my trip to Asia, I received some very sad news. A friend of mine from college had passed away. I won’t profess that we were the best of friends, but we got on well. We didn’t speak daily but we stayed in touch and I had fond memories of him. …
So in one week, I’m making my dream come true. I've quit my job, and I've bought a one-way ticket. You would think I would be more excited, rather than a bundle of nerves and not being able to sleep until the early hours most nights even though I feel very tired and as it …
Today I booked my one way ticket to begin my journey around Southeast Asia in exactly one month's time! I am excited and terrified in equal measure, and I've still got a few more things to sort out, as well as a few little side trips to keep me occupied (Amsterdam, Barcelona and Madrid hopefully!) …
