A bit of a different blog post today! Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a bit of a bookworm. I always have a book (or two) on the go and although I’m quite a slow reader it’s something I really like to prioritise in my life. If you’re anything like me — or ifContinueContinue reading “25 books to read in 2025”

My 25 in 2025 list
Last year my sister told me about this idea. I’m not sure if she made it up or if she saw it somewhere else, but the idea was to make a list of 24 things to do in 2024. Now, I’m a list maker. Always have been, always will be. I love a to-do list.ContinueContinue reading “My 25 in 2025 list”
Life as digital nomads in Bangkok
After a wonderful few weeks of travelling around Singapore and Malaysia, we were ready to get back to work and start planning the next lot of adventures around Southeast Asia. I don’t remember ever coming to a decision on Thailand, but Joe and I have both been before (separately) and it just seemed the rightContinueContinue reading “Life as digital nomads in Bangkok”
Our Travel Goal: 50 Before 30
It feels appropriate to write about our big travel goal at the beginning of a new year. 2023 is set to be a pretty epic year of travel and we’re already trying to work out ways of doing as much as possible while balancing our workload, meeting friends and family, and saving for the future.ContinueContinue reading “Our Travel Goal: 50 Before 30”
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!! Whilst holidaying with the family in France in July we decided it was now or never.ContinueContinue reading “WE’RE MOVING ABROAD!”
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 onContinueContinue 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 personallyContinueContinue 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 aContinueContinue reading “Reflecting on 2020”
24 REASONS TO TAKE A GAP YEAR
August has been a bit of a turbulent month for many people. Covid continues to be a threat to everyday life, jobs are uncertain, and young people are now facing the long-term effects of the poor management of the A-level results system. A* grade students were knocked down to D grades. Thousands didn’t get intoContinueContinue reading “24 REASONS TO TAKE A GAP YEAR”
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2020
With all this free time at the moment, I’ve been reading more than I have done in years. At the beginning of the year, one of my goals for 2020 was to read at least 1 book a month, which I thought might be a push given that I was set to move abroad andContinueContinue reading “BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2020”
