I am currently living in my third city abroad, and moving to another next month (eee!) After, I fully intend on returning to the UK and finding one of them stable job things I've heard so much about.

Being an Expat: Expectations vs Reality
Living abroad is an amazing experience and adventure. You develop as a human being, and have amazing stories to tell your future grandkids/anyone who will listen to you brag. But it's not what films and books always describe it to be, or how your family and friends imagine your cool new life. You're still human, [...]
The perks of having lupus
Okay, so it's not great having an incurable, life threatening, life changing disease that can control your life and ambitions, affect your relationships and can make day to day life a struggle.

Comparing Analogue and Digital Photography for Amateurs Like 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 [...]
