As the year is swiftly coming to an end, I feel like every day, I find myself reflecting on all that has occurred in the last 12 months. I think about things a lot; on one hand, I want to clearly assess what I can…
At the start of last month, a friend accused me of causing her to panic after I hit the blue ‘publish’ button on the first post counting down to the next decade. A DECADE! Yes, the next DECADE. I reflected on the last ten years…
At this point our trip was coming to a close. My sister and I had gotten very comfortable at aunt Jo’s house that we could do things around the house without walking on eggshells or feeling like we were visitors. Vermont was sort of a…
Counting aeroplanes in the sky used to be my favourite pastime. It was simple and required little to no physical strain or movement. There was no gimmick, trick or shiny object involved to top the fun up a notch, yet, somehow, I’d do it without…
It had been four days since we touched down in New York and experienced the dream-like life that was a lot more than we’d expected. Those days went by faster than we wanted them to, and in a jiffy, we were getting into an Uber…

Last week, I published a post where I wrote about the constant fear and anxiety that I felt prior to embarking on my big American trip. It was a post that forced me to be pretty open about the vulnerabilities and limitations that I may…
Let this sit in your mind for a moment: it’s only two months left until the start of a new decade. How bizarre that is! The last time a new decade began, I was only 12 and certainly way too naïve to feel pressured by…
As you already know, I had the chance to travel to New York a few weeks ago for a couple of days. I wrote endless blogposts about my expectations, experiences and my ever-constant desire to do it all over again already. For me, it lived…
I don’t do goodbyes very well, I never have. First of all, goodbyes are hardly ever ‘good’, I mean, sometimes, even saying goodbye to something you don’t like can be scary because heading towards the unknown is just that: scary. Period. When I woke up…
At this point, we had the whole routine down. We’d wake up early enough for the hotel breakfast each morning and head down after brushing our teeth in a hibernated state still. After breakfast, we’d head back up and straight into the bath in turns….
