    I get asked all the time about my experience moving abroad, as someone who packed up my life and moved solo to the other side of the world. The next most common questions are: how could you leave all of your family and friends? Why did you do it? And why did you choose to…

    I’ve loved animals ever since I knew what they were. As a child, I had a guinea pig, a rabbit, three cats and a dog. I always imagined myself becoming either a teacher or a veterinary nurse. Once I left secondary school, I started studying to be a teacher, but realised I didn’t enjoy it…

    I’ve always loved to write, ever since I was young. Reading and writing are passions of mine. A few years ago I began to write poetry, and found it to be a great creative outlet for my innermost thoughts and feelings. I thought I should share it on my blog for those who want to…

    We finally managed to get away for our first holiday abroad of the year, and chose to go somewhere not quite as hot as the beachy parts of Europe – Austria and southern Germany. We landed in Munich late night, stayed near the airport, and took off on a train to Salzburg the next morning.…

    I was lucky enough to have two of my best friends come to London as part of their European holidays, so we organised to meet up in London and see some of the sights together. We actually met just over two years ago while I was travelling through Central Europe, so I felt very lucky…

    There’s nothing I love more than exploring a castle. The history, the intrigue, the beautiful architecture and décor, I love it all. I’ve always been a fan of royal families ever since I learned what a princess was, and I love getting to see the kind of life they lived. One of my favourite things…

    We were lucky enough to go on holiday with my mum while she was visiting, which was such a blessing. We decided to travel to the Spanish island of Mallorca. Despite it being November it was still an average temperature of 20 degrees celsius so we still got to enjoy soaking up the sun by…

    I’d heard many good things about Canterbury, and was excited to visit the historic town. From its famous cathedral, to the river flowing through the town, it has all the things that make a lovely English village. We visited in October, and got to enjoy a rare bit of autumn sun. We started our day…

    Paris has always been somewhere I have dreamed of visiting, ever since I was old enough to know of it. To me the city represents romance, beauty, elegance and of course, love. I have heard mixed reviews from people I know who have visited Paris, with some saying it is dirty and overcrowded, and others…

    Monaco The following day we caught a packed train to Monaco, about 25 minutes east of Nice. In summer, the trains can be sweltering and crowded, so I’d recommend bringing a mini fan if you visit in peak season—temperatures regularly hit 30–35°C, and the crowds make it feel hotter. As it’s a different country, it…
