As we begin to embark on a new year many of us will take some time to recenter ourselves and think about what it is we want to achieve in 2017. For some that might be the inevitable weight loss or financial security that follows us all into each new year. But for some, there...Read More
Some of you will remember me from my travel posts last year. I spent the early part of 2015 venturing around India and South East Asia with my boyfriend and had the time of my life. Having been home exactly a year this month, I have had time to reflect on my trip and one...Read More
