The Lost Art of Reading a Book

December 5, 2018June 23, 202014 Comments

Back when I started this blog eight years ago I used to be an avid reader; once completing a goal of 24 books in one year. I miss the days when technology was a luxury and not a constant distraction. Yes, reading articles online can still expand your mind and vocabulary, but we are faced … Continue reading The Lost Art of Reading a Book

London Favourites: From A New Local

January 31, 2017June 24, 202051 Comments

You'd think I'd be prepared when someone asked me what my favourite London spots are. I swear, it's a question that leaves me struggling for words; "Uhh ... I love it all! My favourite thing is just exploring the city!" Though that may be honest, it's a classic BS answer. I am always prepped with an … Continue reading London Favourites: From A New Local

September 28, 2016June 25, 202035 Comments

I've officially been here a month, and there is still so much to learn as an expat in London. So as I discover more lessons, I will add them to the list. You may notice that there are a lot of lessons on budgeting – at the ripe age of 22 I am finally experiencing … Continue reading Things I’ve Learned About London (So Far)

Your crazy scenarios were oh so enjoyable and painstakingly relatable, especially now. This could be an ode to your new chapter of having a … Continue reading Dear Bridget Jones: My First Two Weeks in London

How I Got My UK Tier 5 Working Holiday Visa

This post is about the Tier 5 Visa application process. It won't be super technical, as I am no expert, but it'll give you a … Continue reading How I Got My UK Tier 5 Working Holiday Visa

My Month of Solo Travel in Review

July 26, 2016October 18, 201764 Comments

Before I left, a few people asked me, "What do you hope to gain from this trip?". Honestly, just completing this trip seemed like a big accomplishment (I would have never imagined doing something like this a few years back). I didn't expect some Eat Pray Love sort of self discovery ... but of course I'd take … Continue reading My Month of Solo Travel in Review

Prague: A Fairytale Party City

March 21, 2016March 21, 201636 Comments

I have heard so many great things about Prague but never expected to love it as much as I did. You will be in awe of the fairytale streets and historic landmarks but will have a blast drinking super cheap beer and making friends on nightly pub crawls. Prague is the perfect blend of culture by day … Continue reading Prague: A Fairytale Party City
