It's been a crazy two months living it up on my own tropical island. So many changes and new faces and a new timetable and climate to get accustomed to that I haven't felt the words to write what I've been up to or what I've been feeling. But as it's the new year, and … Continue reading Living on a Sand Island (and why you should visit)

To any of you that have been following my travels over the past few years, you'll know that I've been lucky enough to call London my home for the past two years.
