I'm writing this whilst sat on the most beautiful beach that I have discovered. White sand surrounds me and clear blue water laps at my feet. I'm sat under a palm tree on a little towel with only a few other beach goers joining me in this tiny paradise. All sounds so cliche and idilic… Continue reading My Adventure

Happiness
Happiness is a very personal thing. What works for someone may work terribly for someone else. We all have our own personalised recipe to make happiness for ourselves. However, it can take a little while to find all the ingredients, and those ingredients tend to change over time (Blimey, I always find a way to… Continue reading Happiness
Real Talk
Now before you start reading this is a pretty personal post. It's not meant to be a 'hey poor me' essay, I'm writing this because at least one person out there will be able to relate to it and find comfort in it in one way or another. Or not, you may just think I'm… Continue reading Real Talk
Week 3
3 weeks into my adventure and I am feeling the happiest I have ever felt. Bali is incredible. After 2 weeks in remote Sumatra, I have finally found my peaceful place and fallen in love with travelling. It sounds cliche, I know, but people aren't lying when they say that travelling is the best thing… Continue reading Week 3

As I'm going to be blogging whilst travelling, I want… Continue reading Pre Travel Anxiety
Counting Down
I have been rubbish at blogging recently. My travels plans are hurtling towards me, at what seems like rocket speed, and I have been very busy working, training and organising things. It feels very surreal that I will be going on a massive adventure in just over 3 weeks time! About a week ago I… Continue reading Counting Down
The Rollercoaster Year
I am all for living in the now, but sometimes looking back isn't such a bad thing. Especially when it makes you realise just how far you have come. This time last year I was head over heels in love, had moved out from my parents house and had just set up my own business.… Continue reading The Rollercoaster Year
Keep Learning
We never completely master life. Our paths are full of twists and turns, in fact sometimes it feels like we are going round in circles. The universe is constantly helping us to develop and grow by giving us situations to learn important lessons from, however, if we do not learn what we are supposed to,… Continue reading Keep Learning
