Stop saying, start doing. It has taken me well over a year to muster together the courage (if you can even call it that?) to sit down and write a blog post that I was a) happy with, and b) confident enough to hit the publish button on. And why is that, I ask myself. […]
Preparing for 2019 ✨
There’s something about preparing for something new, whether that’s a new school year or a new chapter of your life. Although it’s cliché as hell to fall for the whole “new year, new me” spiel, it’s still fun (and rewarding) nonetheless to reflect on the past year and to look ahead to the new one. […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 33
The first post of 2018 – and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write! Here’s a lil life update for all of you… If we were having coffee, I would tell you that my exams start in five weeks’ time. And that terrifies me. It was only this morning that it really hit […]

The British Council’s Study China Programme

If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 32
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m back in Oxford and it’s the start of 3rd week already. Where is the time going?! I’m absolutely loving being back and my room this year is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l so I’m trying to make the most of it. There will be a room tour up on YouTube […]
Starting University after a Gap Year
Over the course of many conversations with sixth form students, I realised that one of the things deterring them from taking a Gap Year was starting university a year late. For a lot of the people I spoke to, many were adamant that they were going to start the year with peers of their own […]
If We Were Having Coffee… + GIVEAWAY! | Vol. 31

I am absolutely amazed by this country and I can’t wait to share all of my posts with you. Hopefully you followed the adventures over on Instagram so you’ve seen a taster 😉 […]
How To Keep Electronics Safe When Travelling
But how do you travel with so many electronics?! This is a question I am frequently asked, not only by my friends, but also by readers and subscribers alike. As a travel blogger and vlogger, there are some electronics that I just have to have with me. Let’s use my Gap Year as an example in […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 30
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’ve just got back from China. As much as I couldn’t wait to escape Hangzhou’s humidity, I’m actually pretty sad to be back home. It ended too quickly and I want to be back already. China was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have had a better […]
