How to Travel Singapore on a Budget

Singapore is known to be an expensive city to visit, especially compared to its far more affordable neighbours throughout Southeast Asia. However, don’t be put off – it is 100% possible to visit Singapore on a budget! Ok, maybe it won’t be a ÂŁ20 per day budget like many other places in Asia, BUT itContinue reading “How to Travel Singapore on a Budget”

Top 10 Things To Do in Singapore

Singapore is a city of contrasts. It’s vast, technologically advanced, and surprisingly multicultural. But it’s also somehow relaxing, slow-paced, and incredibly friendly.  I’m not a natural city person so this laidback vibe was welcomed, especially given the jet lag, 8 hours time difference, and general culture shock. Now I’ll be honest, I hadn’t researched veryContinue reading “Top 10 Things To Do in Singapore”

WE’RE MOVING ABROAD!

The not-so-secret secret is out! After one failed attempt at emigrating in January 2020 and 2.5 years of living in our first little flat together, Joe and I are finally making the move to ASIA in 6 weeks’ time!!

First Time Skiing in the French Alps!

In March this year I took one of the best trips EVER: a ski trip to the French Alps with a group of my best friends! It feels strange to be reminiscing on this trip while it’s the end of summer, but there’s a part of me that misses being bundled up against the cold,Continue reading “First Time Skiing in the French Alps!”

My First Ever Luxury Cruise!

At the beginning of September, I did something I never thought I would be able to do. A type of travel I just never even considered, let alone pictured myself doing one day
 I went on my first ever cruise! Not only was it my first cruise, it was a six-star luxury cruise with SilverseaContinue reading “My First Ever Luxury Cruise!”

Two Weeks in Scotland

At the beginning of July, Joe and I set out on our first proper holiday in almost two years: a two week road trip around bonny Scotland! Although we were fully prepared for it to be raining and cold, it actually turned out to be the most beautiful sunny summer holiday as we were thereContinue reading “Two Weeks in Scotland”

Yorkshire 3 Peaks

A couple of weeks ago I completed the Three Yorkshire Peaks challenge! After a long weekend in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales last summer, my boyfriend, his mum and I all decided that we would take on the challenge together. The challenge is to complete the 24 mile circular route within 12 hours. Well, we managedContinue reading “Yorkshire 3 Peaks”

30 before 30

I’ve heard of this concept for years and never really gave it any thought. I have a bucket list with many many (probably unrealistic) things I want to achieve throughout my life scrawled in various journals (I’ve linked my favourite one here) and ingrained in my mind. But this week I was just scrolling onContinue reading “30 before 30”

How to set Realistic Goals for the New Year

Hey 2021! ***Disclaimer: This post is a little late, as I wasn’t sure that putting pressure on people to set goals for 2021 would be insensitive – after all, many of us have had few successes in 2020 and feel a little sad and anxious about setting ourselves up for more disappointment. However, I personallyContinue reading “How to set Realistic Goals for the New Year”

Reflecting on 2020

Did I really live in China? Like, did that actually happen or did I dream it all up? I think about this on a regular basis, more so the past few days as I realised it has now been 11 months since I first arrived in Guangzhou to start my teacher training. To kickstart aContinue reading “Reflecting on 2020”
