Two Years in London

By

Well, here we are. I’ve officially been living in London for two years. And I’m officially leaving. It’s been an interesting year, to say the least. I’ve heard other expats say that it takes them around six months to a year to feel at home in a new city. Although I found my feet in…

Goodbye to Number 53, The House That Was a Home

By

Although I’ve been living in London for two years, the city only really began to feel like home when I moved into number 53. I’d been house jumping for the previous year – living with family, friends and randoms. Each time, I couldn’t help but feel that I was encroaching on someone else’s personal space….

What I Regret From My Time Spent Living in Sydney

I’ve been a bit naughty during my last year of living in England’s capital. I’ve travelled to loads of places, around the world and the UK, but haven’t really seen much of London. It’s got me thinking about how we function as human beings – daydreaming about the next adventure, but never really opening up…

Reasons to Love Living in London

By

I made a decision during the first few hours of New Years Day – that being to make more of an effort to live more mindfully. It’s a super wanky word, yet so relevant at the same time. So yes, I’m going all Power of Now on you. What better way to do so than…

By

The Sun Voyager sculpture in Reykjavík.   I was in Iceland on Sunday when I realised that the day marked an anniversary of sorts for me – a year to the day I first sat down and published a post on this blog. (Read it if you want – or maybe do us both a…
