So this week I’ve been quiet because I have just moved back to Leicester, and the process of getting unpacked and settled has taken longer than anticipated. It feels good to be back in Leicester after over a year away from the city I consider my home away from home and aside from a few […]
Stupid young people on the internet
The release of the wildly popular app PokemonGO has sparked a plethora of think pieces since its release in the UK just over a week ago. These think pieces follow the familiar theme that young people are ignorant, apathetic, and more concerned with catching Pokemon than with the plight of Syrian refugees (for example) or […]
What NOT to take on your year abroad
So those of you who, like me, are generally very keen and maybe even a little type A may have started packing if you have a year abroad coming up. If you haven’t, I’m sure you still have plenty of time! So with that in mind, I decided to make my next blog post about […]
A review of ‘All the Way’
It’s the middle of the summer, which means no University to blog about, and my summer job means that I haven’t been doing anything all that interesting apart from work.

America holds the Trump card
I’d feel remiss if I didn’t discuss what the result of the referendum on membership of the European Union means.

What I wish I’d known before my year abroad
Ah, June 2015. It was a very different time for me, and I was working many hours every week at my retail job trying to save up as much as I could before I jetted off for America. If you’ve been a long time reader of my blog, you will remember my posts before my […]
The Jet Lag Chronicles
It’s now been exactly a week since I landed back in England, and I still don’t feel able to do a retrospective post about my year abroad. It would be difficult to put down in words exactly what the people I met and the experiences I’ve had mean to me, and I hope that doesn’t […]
Oh, Canada!
So this week has been a very emotional one, I’ve finally left Arlington and all the friends I have made there to return to my home in England. I am partially excited to return home, partially sad to be leaving the life I had made in the Metroplex behind and there has been almost as […]
