With bad news coming in thick and fast from bulletins and news outlets and so much negativity being shared online by social media users, it can be hard to find some positivity on the internet. Then I came across a blogger who wrote a list like this and I was inspired. In times like these,... Continue Reading →
Three years ago, if you'd asked me what I might want to change about myself, I would have been able to give you a whole list. Height, weight, body shape, hair colour, laugh, scars, facial structure. You name it, I was unhappy with everything in some way. If you ask me that same question now,... Continue Reading →
I've been hearing the term 'self care' thrown around a lot lately, for while not actually knowing what it means. It's often associated with online posts about confidence and happiness, mental health and wellbeing. Self Care basically means actions and behaviours that are completed with the intention of improving the person's wellbeing and/or health. They're... Continue Reading →
About a decade ago, I was really ill. The symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis had reached severe levels. My lungs were failing, and I was malnourished and underweight. I was admitted to hospital at least 5 times a year, for 2-3 weeks at a time. I hadn't been admitted much before that and I was scared.... Continue Reading →
My current days are being spent sending job applications and walking Mona the dog. While this might sound like a fairly luxurious life, I'm actually so bored and I'm really eager now to start my career!

The 13 hour flight from Auckland to Los Angeles (after a 3 hour flight to our stopover in Brisbane) wasn't actually as horrendous as it sounds. We were flying with Virgin Australia, who were great - with fairly good food and great TV choices! It's also been years since I've had an in-flight goody bag! Here's some... Continue Reading →
After our lovely and relaxed week in Melbourne, we said goodbye to Australia and flew over to its neighbour, New Zealand. Helping us to explore the north and south islands were the Kiwi Experience. We'd board a big, green bus nearly every day, drive through scenic landscapes, with regular stops in interesting places, until we reach the town where we're staying. Everyone... Continue Reading →
I'm sorry that I've been terrible at blogging recently - I have been quite busy, as you can imagine and now I have so much to catch you up on... We're currently in New Zealand and preparing to leave soon for America! It's safe to say we're tired! We have also had some wifi issues... Continue Reading →
This post comes to you from Brisbane airport - waiting for our flight to Cairns. We're finally in Australia, the country which inspired this whole trip in the first place! I've wanted to come here forever and it feels surreal that I'm now actually here. We flew here from Singapore so the flight was only... Continue Reading →
