What I learned on my travels

It has to be said that I went into my first solo travels a little bit naive. I am so used to the comforts of home, having everything on tap, everything being so easy all of the time. I never knew it would be such a struggle. So many things I take for advantage, even …

Backpacking in Europe

Tis the backpacking season! I've done the whole uni thing, I've played by the rules, going from school to collage to uni and then into so many different jobs, living in so many different places and life just feels like it's going by so quickly and I want to make the most of things right …

Benefits of using a fitness tracker..

Now I think I'm a little late to be starting to use a fitness tracker, after all they've been on the market for a long time now but they've always been too expensive for me and I thought I might just use it for a month then get bored, but I was proven wrong.. About …

April

First of all I guess I should give my apologies for the long absence? I am a big believer of if you don't feel like doing something you shouldn't force yourself. (with the exceptions of work and other important things of course) I wanted to write some of my thoughts I've been having this April. …

What’s it all about?

"Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never …

Dreaming of Australia

How do I feel about new year resolutions? Well I've never been a big fan of it as I don't like cheesy things like that. My thoughts are that if you want to change something or do something any time of the year or day is fine! If you wake up on a sunny may …

Reflecting over the holidays

So picture this..I’ve moved out of home and have been living independently for a few years now and it’s great. I can eat what I want when I want, make a mess and not get told off, play music whenever I want.. Freedom is here and it’s the life I’ve been waiting for! However the …

Christmas and mental health

So originally this post was going to be about how mental health is neglected and how bad I've felt in the past going to the doctors and my mental health not being recognised as an actual illness. (maybe another post?) But I thought as it's christmas, I don't want to put a downer on your …
