My first experience on the east coast of Canada has been Toronto! I've spent the last three/four days here, doing a mix of touristy things and just getting lost in the city to see what I can stumble upon. The first full day I went to the CN tower, it was around $40 to go …
I did it! I moved to Canada. I'm only three days in but the hard part is over...(I hope). You know the goodbyes will be hard, but you never realise how tough they actually are until you're walking through security at the airport, the first moment of complete solitude, blinded by your own tears. I …
It's been a few weeks since I've had the time and motivation to sit down and write, but I guess that just happens hey. I've been pretty busy working, spending time with friends and family and getting ready for Canada (23 days, can you believe it?!) Amongst all this busyness, restless nights and waking up …
On a sunny Monday afternoon at Heathrow last summer, I found myself gazing out of a plane window feeling like the weight of the world had been lifted off of my shoulders and dropped into the palm of my hands ready to be explored. A moment which usually would be accompanied by a bundle of …
I had a two hour train journey home from work Thursday evening, I'd finished my book, was full of coffee and there was a plug socket right next to me. This meant it was time to write. I've been thinking a lot lately about what it actually means to 'live in the moment'. Naturally, as …

Hey bloggers! I haven't had much time to write this week. I felt annoyed at myself earlier about it because I did have a few blogposts I wanted to tackle - but actually I realised that although I haven't had a particularly productive work/gym/writing week, I did spend it catching up with my sister and …
It's been six months since I graduated. Sometimes I completely forget that university was a thing that I did, but I had a little reminder recently and thought to myself 'boy was that a long ride...' I studied at uni for four years in total; a three year undergraduate degree in Film and Creative Writing …
I seriously encourage everyone and anyone to spend one day a month (at least) brunching and chatting with your favourite babes - it's good for the mind and soul. Two of my besties and I try to do this as often as we can afford. Sometimes that could be a few times a month, other …
London doesn't stop, but I sure need to. While walking around town a few weeks ago with my mum, she turned around and said to me "why are you rushing?!", and actually, I had no clue as to why I charging around at 30mph when I had no where in particular to be. The past …
Travelling is one of the most desired things to do by humanity but it's also one of the most expensive. We have this attitude that it can be done by anyone anywhere, but a lot of the time money is the key reason why someone hasn't traveled or never even been abroad. Here's a list …

I never used to see the point in baths. I had the same outlook on them as Chandler Bing, "So what you just sit there stewing in your own filth?". A shower is efficient, refreshing, easy. A bath takes too long to run, and what if after all of that bubble-fuss the temperature just isn't …
