Venice’s beauty, in my opinion, lies in its ability to resist the strong force of modernity and technological advancement. The numerous selfie-stick sellers aside, when you walk through the maze of floating alleyways, it’s as if you have been transported back in time. The absence of glass skyscrapers and a constant drone of traffic is,... Continue Reading →

Myself, my boyfriend and two of our closest friends headed there for 10 days, and we certainly made the most of our trip. In this post, I'm going to share... Continue Reading →
Making the Most of University
Three years sounds like a long time, doesn't it? However, looking back now, the three years I spent at university were the quickest three years of my life. Honestly, they flew by.

A date with Carrie Bradshaw’s one great love: New York City
Part One As the saying goes, anything can happen in a New York minute. And whilst our trip now only feels like it lasted a minute, we did manage to make a lot happen.

Some Thoughts on Social Media
The other day I bumped into an old friend who I hadn’t seen since school. Seeing me, she looked surprised and said ‘you’re here. I thought you were off exploring everywhere’. The only thing that would have given her this impression were my social media accounts. I rarely post on Facebook; I change my profile... Continue Reading →
