Travelling with Depression
As today is World Mental Health Day, I wanted to put the spotlight on what to do when you experience depression whilst travelling. I spent the past year studying in Texas and recently travelled back to the US after just starting new medication. One of the not so nice elements of sertraline is that it […]
Post-Uni Life
Hey y’all. Sorry it’s been a while. The job search is going slow to say the least so I thought I would give an insight to some of the activities that a student could be doing after their exams. It’s seen as the most middle class, elitist, non-studenty sport but golf has become a prominent […]
Everything’s Coming To A Close

American Invasion
In honour (or should I say honor) of Spring Break, and to mark the one year anniversary of our grand roadtrip around the west coast of the US, my good friends came over to visit. I met Devon first, through my study abroad blog I had started before leaving for Arizona, and I’m very glad […]
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
T0 anyone who has travelled home within the past couple of weeks, I salute you. Far from Christmassy, the gale force winds and lashing rain has made any journey that little bit more unpleasant.
