A Whistle-stop Tour, Part I: The Netherlands

September 8, 2019

So far on this trip I’ve been terrible at updating my blog, but I feel like in a way that’s a good thing. Sitting down and writing takes time and effort, and I’ve been so busy I’ve had very little time to stop recently. And honestly, why would I waste time writing when there’s been … More A Whistle-stop Tour, Part I: The Netherlands

On Monday It Was The Birds

July 4, 2019

The birds at the beach. God they were so beautiful. You’d have loved them I swear. Half the beach that I went to was kept as a nature reserve and honestly, it was so alive. There were all sorts of different things. There were the birds that we’re used to, house sparrows, gulls, but there … More On Monday It Was The Birds

So Long 2018, It’s Been Some Year

December 31, 2018

This year has felt long, it’s felt like the longest year I’ve ever lived. In fact I’ve taken to joking that it’s the never ending year. Obviously I know that time physically cannot actually move slower, but I think that the simple fact that I’ve done so much this year and been through so many … More So Long 2018, It’s Been Some Year

How Going To Conventions Changed My Life

September 23, 2018

I was trying to find another way to word the title for this post, one that was less bold, less dramatic, less cliché. But then I realised that to do so wouldn’t really do the impact that conventions have had on my life justice. To anyone who has never been to a convention this statement … More How Going To Conventions Changed My Life

A Week in Barcelona – Day 7 (And A Bonus Day)

June 30, 2018

On my final day in Barcelona I had to check out at 9am. I was partly annoyed because it meant I had to be up early and I was partly grateful as it meant that I had to be up early. Given that my flight wasn’t until half six that evening I decided to head … More A Week in Barcelona – Day 7 (And A Bonus Day)

A Week In Barcelona – Days 4, 5, & 6

June 29, 2018

I’ve clumped days 4, 5, & 6 into one place as those were the days I was at a convention, so I didn’t actually see much of Barcelona those days. I will write about the convention, however I’ll put that in a separate blog post. On day 4 I had some errands to run before … More A Week In Barcelona – Days 4, 5, & 6

A Week In Barcelona – Day 3

June 28, 2018

Day 3 was another “mini road-trip” day, and possibly my most favourite day of the entire trip. We went all the way out to a little town called Girona and then along to a beach town called Tossa de Mar afterwards. Girona is an absolutely beautiful city, in fact it’s so beautiful that they filmed … More A Week In Barcelona – Day 3

A Week In Barcelona – Day 2

June 22, 2018

Vic & Besalu On my first full day in the city I had agreed to meet my friend after she finished work at lunchtime, so after spending the morning getting ready and managing to navigate the city’s public transport system I ended up in Terrassa. From there we drove up to Vic, as part one … More A Week In Barcelona – Day 2

A Week in Barcelona – Day 1

June 21, 2018

So I think it’s fair to say that Barcelona has stolen my heart just a little (also they have some pretty cool conventions). Almost two months after my last trip to this incredible city and I’m back again and once again I’m staying for 6 days. This trip I wanted to document my adventures, though … More A Week in Barcelona – Day 1

Barcelona, You Were Beautiful

May 6, 2018

After deciding I wanted to do more conventions I started looking for ones in Europe that I could go to. Eventually I found Polaris Con, which was held in Barcelona at the end of April. After booking my ticket I decided that if I was going to travel all the way to Barcelona for a … More Barcelona, You Were Beautiful
