  • Travel Tips 101

    Like the rest of the masses who have had their passport stamped in various locations, I’m always super keen to pass on what I’ve learnt from my own experiences. In this post I’m going to focus on tips I think are beneficial to beginners- those who are just getting ready to explore the world. These…

  • Paris, Je t’aime

    The first time travelling without family or a school figure to keep an eye on things is dauntingly exciting. On the morning of New Years Day 2013 I had a cheap coach ticket booked to spend a few days in Paris with a friend. With nothing more than a rucksack and a hangover I set…

  • Poisoned Paradise Polaroids

    A few months ago The Impossible Project released a new range of film for 600 type polaroid cameras (see here). Three choices for the ‘Poisoned Paradise’ theme: colour film with different patterned frames of tiny snakes entwining around exotic flowers. It was love at first sight as I became over excited and ordered the triple pack to test all…

  • A Few of my Favourite Authors..

    A bookworm since I first learnt to read, and an English Literature undergraduate, I thought it was time I wrote a blog post about my favourite thing in the world (besides tea, dogs, travels, and elephants..) I have conducted a list of a few authors whom I admire, and that I have read more than…

  • Bass is Best

    And by bass I mean the guitar. I haven’t picked up the instrument in god knows how long, but I took lessons for 5 years since my 13th birthday when I was given a very green, Irish looking bass that I named Paddy (how original). It was a change from my violin lessons that I had…

  • Life Lessons #1

    Very thoughtful piece from my dear friend, a fab idea- and great advice! I think we all have experienced a time we realise it has helped so much to talk out a problem, and that it makes a problem no less significant but easier to deal with.

  • 10 Cities You MUST Visit

    My favourite kind of travelling is city dwelling, or, to be a “flâneur”; someone who wanders around the streets in order to get a feel of the city and its people. For me, it is time much more better spent than spending all day, every day on a beach. That doesn’t relax me, it makes me…

  • Pros and Cons of Being Tall

    I am a tall girl. Not the tallest, but definitely tall. I am about 5 ft 11, none of my pajamas reach my ankles and just yesterday I managed to get my hair caught in something dangling from the ceiling of an aquarium I was visiting (I managed to escape without anyone noticing). When you picture…

  • Expired Polaroid Film

    Gone are the days when Polaroid was a company that sold instant film and cameras. Since then, a group of previous Polaroid workers started their own company, The Impossible Project, and have been producing their own instant film for Polaroid cameras. They are life savers for instant film artists and amateurs. You are still able…
