A gorgeous girlies* guide to your 1st solo trip
I’m not quite sure when I decided that I wanted to do a solo trip. I think it’s one of those things that’s always bubbled beneath the surface. Can I? Should I? Shall I? I’ve followed packslight for a while and have made a few new mates in recent years who love a solo venture…
Expectations vs Reality, The Marriage Edition.
IT’S CHRISTMASSSSSSS … … which can only mean one thing: “When are you getting married then?” Tis’ the season where family members venture from far and wide to ask questions that – like low rise jeans – should’ve been left in the noughties. I’ve been in a relationship for 8 years (!!!), so marriage seems…
She back.
Oh don’t mind me just blog writing again after 9 MONTHS! And of course, Tayce is here to provide the perfect meme… In all seriousness, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED in the last 9 months. Since I’ve been gone* I made some monumental career decisions, turned 27, started volunteering at a refugee centre and had a…
New Year, New (opportunities to develop a further understanding of the world while becoming a more self-elevated version of), Me?
Title got you confused? Don’t worry, we’ll come on to that. Firstly, let’s take a moment to thank our lucky stars that “new year, new me” is a thing of the past. It’s 2021 and, though it’s long overdue, we’re all way more on board with the “new year, same me” vibe this year. It…
The ‘M’ Word.
Navigating your twenties is heavily dependent on the ‘M’ word. Nope, not mash potato (unfortunately), but money. Whether it’s travelling, buying a house, having children or doing whatever you want to do, it all comes down to dolla dolla bills yo! So why is it such a taboo topic? Wages and pay rises, bonuses and…
Redundancy – Real Talk
My job role has been made redundant (cheers COVID). When I started this blog, redundancy wasn’t something I imagined writing about. It’s one of those things I thought only happened to adulty-adults – not people in their 20’s who are new to the working world. But all it took was a global pandemic and here…
Introducing… The 30 Before 30 Bucket List.
Ever since I can remember, I wanted to travel to Australia. When I was younger, my grandparents went to Sydney for a family wedding and came back with stories of kangaroos, the outback & Uluru (Ayers Rock). They told tales, shared photographs and kept in close contact with the Pragnells – our family who emigrated…
5 Reasons Why You Should Go on an Australian WHV in Your 20’s.
G’day cobber!Anyone who knows me will agree that I never stop going on about Australia. The country has my heart, what can I say? But being in lockdown has made me realise, more than ever, just how important travel is. So I’m going to attempt to convey in words why everyone should go on a…
The BLM Movement from the Perspective of a Mixed-race Female.
Out of all of my posts so far, this has been the most difficult to write – which is precisely why it needed to be written. As a mixed-race female living in the UK, yesterday was incredibly poignant. I started this honest blog to address EVERYTHING that happens in your 20s. So with #BlackoutTuesday sparking…
The Commuting Chronicles #2.
The Wardrobe Malfunction So I’m throwing it back to some time last year. It was one of those rare weeks in the summer when the sun is consistently hot for 7 days and Brits tend to fall into one of two categories: 1. Those who insist that they’re melting, complain that “it’s a bit too…
