While London rested for a few more hours until the final day of work for a week was complete, my brother and I awoke and beat the newspapers to the racks outside of the shops. Friday 16th: 4am wake up. Time for Rome. I travelled to London the previous evening, silver rucksack packed; purple suitcase […]
Tomorrow my brother and I are heading to (what have I heard is) the beautiful city of Rome. After months of stalking Instagram accounts, reading tales of bloggers in Rome and excitedly flicking through my Lonely Planet guide, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. Although I am questioning the practicality of my (what I […]
13 Reasons Why, the Netflix original has received a lot, a lot of attention. It tells the story of Hannah, who commits suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes, blaming 13 different people for her tragedy. Reasons to Stay Alive is a deservedly well-respected book where we learn of Matt Haig’s struggles with depression, while he […]
This month has seen me limiting my meat consumption after realising just how much I relied on it. I have enjoyed it so much and it has seemed to already become a welcomed habit. Today I wanted a filling and fulfilling lunch and decided I’d try to create a recipe for some loaded veggie wedges. […]
Today marks a week of a month’s challenge (that will hopefully become a lifetime habit) of restricting my meat consumption. After realising my dependency upon meat spanned for at least 2 meals a day I thought I should probably do something about it. In the last week I’ve loved changing up my meals and the […]
In just over a month I’ll be hopping on a plane with my brother and heading over to somewhere I have ALWAYS wanted to explore: Rome. I’ve been lucky enough to go on two city breaks in the last year- Dublin and Paris. From planning and then going on these trips I’ve learnt a lot […]
Since May marks one of the most important months of my life, I thought I’d make it ten times more thrilling by blogging every single day this month. Will she, won’t she get a degree? Will she, won’t she actually manage this challenge? It was this month last year I started blogging and using revision breaks […]
As I’ve spoken about before, for my mum’s 50th birthday, I made her a book of 50 things for her to do before she turned 51. With less than two months to go, my mum is keeping her cool and trying to find any way possible to legally disown me so she can put her […]
The whole of Paris makes for a sensational view- predictable but true. Whether my view was the dreamy Disney castle or the incredible point where we could see so much of our new favourite place (I had to sneak these views in as they should have made the cut), Paris provided a lot of Instagram […]
Brooke from The Student Traveler recommended I just get lost in Paris (politely so!), and this thought was constantly on my mind when Aaron and I went to Paris last week. At any opportunity we could, we would lose our bearings and just keep walking. No map and no idea. This sometimes meant we would […]
