Mocha Mondays is a new and semi-regular feature on cafes and how workable they are, for freelancers or students looking for a place to park themselves at while getting work done. It may or may not actually feature mocha. Apologies, guys, the Mocha Monday series that I was so enthused about at the start ofContinue reading #2030 | Matcha Mondays: Cha Cha Matcha
If I said I were the outdoorsy type, I would be lying. One with nature I am not. I prefer my day to day life regulated, with reliable transport, data, and stimulation: addicted to the grid, I am 100% a city girl. But occasionally I get cajoled into trying new things, and so my firstContinue reading #2029 | Upstate New York: Roadtripping to Catskills
New York, AmericaOh, New York. This Spring marked my third time in New York, the city of my dreams. I can’t really explain why I love New York so much even if I tried – so you’ll just have to take my word for it when I say there’s just something about the city… AndContinue reading #2027 | The Broke Student’s Guide to New York
What is with my new obsession with pink and parkas? It’s like I went back ten years to my high school sense of fashion, which was basically all pink everything, and all the time.

Hey guys, So, it’s about time I hit America, eh. My virgin trip to America when I was 18 (solo trip, coming of age present to myself, one month in New York), was really what started it all – this incurable urge to wander. Unfortunately, my travel series only really started in 2014, which isContinue reading #1999 | Let’s go to America! Broke Student’s Guide to Pre Trip Planning
New York, AmericaWhat is it about the big city that has had me head over heels for the last four years? i first flirted with new york four years ago at the tender age of eighteen, a coming-of-age gift to myself, a month alone in the big city. But it was naive to think thatContinue reading #1996 | things you cannot explain
New York, AmericaA general observation I have made while exploring the big city alone is that unless they are by profession photographers (and trust me, I’m living with one so I’d know), Americans cannot take pictures and therefore when you need a photo of yourself taken I suggest you stand and wait until you spotContinue reading #1990 | observations
New York, AmericaSo this is how I did the Met. The day after watching The Phantom of the Opera for the third time – the musical that always wrecks me, the one that gets me in the gut – I downloaded the soundtrack onto my phone and wandered the city with the dulcet tones ofContinue reading #1989 | Dra-met-ic days in the big city
