“Apart from the realisation that I’m completely obsessed with Game of Thrones and have an unhealthy imaginary romance going on with Jon Snow, one in which he broodingly serenades me in his dulcet northern tones and protects me from White Walkers by shielding my body against the threat of the cold misty air…I can say … More You Know Nothing, Jon Snow
While I’m lacking in content of substance and swimming in self doubt, don’t shrug me off or cast me aside, for I’m trying to figure things out. I don’t hold the answers to all of my questions and they seem to be piling high, the what if’s and how’s and when’s and where’s, it’s enough … More Don’t write me off
Ever had a day off work and thought, “I know, I’ll go somewhere I’ve never been before”? I have these thoughts all the time (I think it’s the traveller in me), so it was fairly easy to decide on York as the next destination in my ‘Daytrippin’ series. It also helped that I have a … More A taste of culture and heritage in York
There has to be more to life than this; to sit in a cage, in a tank, in a pond, and work for a man with whom you have no bond. To monotonise your weeks, your years and your life for a suffocating slavery of struggle and strife. You work, you come home, you eat … More More Than This
When visiting Madrid, any stay wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Segovia. A short drive from the Spanish capital through the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range, you can inhale the breathtaking views of the snow-capped Penalara, the highest peak in this subsection of Spain’s larger Sistema Central range while enjoying the view of the … More To indulge in Spain is to visit Segovia
So, in a hastily composed blog post that I wanted to publish before my next hostelling encounter, I’ve continued the series that I started over a year ago which aims to document the things I’ve learned about hostels so far on my travelling adventures. There’s no way I claim to be a backpacking or hostelling … More Things I’ve learned about Hostels. Part Three
Now, before we even start, I’m no dating expert and I am definitely not a serial dater; in fact, my dating back catalogue is pretty pathetic and my track record, well, there isn’t really one. And that’s quite worrying, as dating in 2016 is pretty confusing, and hard, especially if you’re just not into … More Let’s have a little chat about dating, shall we?
“And as you write this with unexplainable tears rolling down your cheeks – the droplets of water have no source; there’s no reason for their manifestation; they just are -you wonder if the pain will ever cease” And so it simmers, like a slow-burning pressure cooker waiting to boil and overflow; a series of anxiety-ridden … More Fear and Self-loathing in Depresvegas
A while back I wrote about writers block and how it can surreptitiously hit at any time, knocking you off your creative feet and sucking the wind out of your sails. I mentioned how for me, heading to the ocean seemed to ease the drought, and how for others, trying to retreat to your own … More The Travelling Creative: More Daytrippin’
Travelling blog posts have been a little slow lately; in fact, blog posts of any description have been a little slow. At the moment I’m working full-time and holding down two freelance writing jobs (no complaints there) so finding the time to write is proving very difficult. Not being able to regularly contribute to my … More The Travelling Creative
