I feel really lucky that four months after my diagnosis I was able to begin my masters degree in a foreign country - not everyone gets that pleasure. Often lupus forces people to quit school or university, with hope of maybe returning when things are a little better. I, however, am a stubborn individual, so [...]

A month into my Barcelona adventure
Photo from Dec 2015, but what I walk past every day to uni... Moving country and beginning at university can be quite hectic and time consuming, so my blog has been neglected for a while. But now I am quite settled, I am giving some life to my blog by writing about me, myself and [...]

10 things I have learnt since moving to London
Moving out of your family home, and stepping out into the big wide world is always a daunting, life changing experience. Perhaps even more so when you move to East London, and although they never said anything, your parents are petrified for your life. It's not as scary as it may seem, and I think moving [...]
