I like to think I'm pretty good at saving. During my undergrad I was putting money aside to travel to Brazil a few times, and I was still saving a decent amount annually. This has really helped for this year, now I'm only studying and not working, and living off family help rather than a [...]

The times I fancy a rant.
Weirdest Food I’ve Tried
Chicken Hearts A delicacy in Brazil, and popular at their barbecue restaurants. I won't say I particularly enjoyed it - the texture wasn't to my liking, but the smokey flavor it was given was pretty good. Snail Only a recent try, something I've avoided until a friend was eating them and offered them I was [...]
Women’s March, Barcelona

But when some people like to hop from one to another, to me that seems to take away the meaningfulness of each relationship. Those people seem to be [...]
Chick Flicks Worth Watching
I saw the new Ghostbusters film the other day. It's attracted a fair bit of attention, not just because it's a beloved franchise reboot, but also because (omigod) the main cast are all women. Which has led to some people saying it ruins the beloved franchise. Yeah yeah, women playing traditionally male roles should never [...]
