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 […]

2017 in Travel: Where This Year Has Taken Me
Sitting down to write this blog post has made me realise two things. Firstly, this year I have travelled to almost as many countries as I did in 2016 and I wasn’t even in my gap year – how crazy is that?! And secondly, I have been a pretty bad travel blogger. The amount of […]
The British Council’s Study China Programme
BRITISH COUNCIL’S STUDY CHINA Woah… I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finally type up what I think about Study China and let you know what this programme is all about. If you haven’t seen them already, there is a vlog series on my YouTube channel where you can see everything I got up […]
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 […]

Inner Mongolia: Hulun Buir & Heishantou | Travel Diaries
INNER MONGOLIA Boy, oh boy, where do I even begin with our four-day trip to Inner Mongolia’s Hulun Buir grasslands? I thought I’d start off by posting two personal posts detailing what we got up to, in the style of a Travel Diary, and then I’ll type up an Inner Mongolia Travel Guide. Here goes… […]
September Goals 2017
September brings with it the feeling of a fresh start, some kind of new chapter. After blogging about my July Goals, and quickly realising how I sucked at sticking to them, I’m back for another attempt. Let’s plunge into my goals for this month… SEPTEMBER GOALS Personal: 1) Go for a run once a week. […]
July Reflection 2017
So, how did I do with my July Goals? JULY REFLECTION Personal: 1) Go for a run 3x a week (and seriously this time). Okay, I admit it. I’m seriously bad with running and I don’t know why! I went for a total of one run the entire month. It’s so bad but I’m determined to […]
Reflection: Trinity Term & First Year | Uni Diaries
It’s been exactly a month since my first year at the University of Oxford finished. I don’t really know how to feel about it, if I’m perfectly honest. It doesn’t feel like one quarter of my degree is over; it doesn’t feel like first year is over. Trinity Term & First Year Reflection I think […]
