  • Minimalist Make Up

    I’ve recently been on a decluttering journey. The most recent was my make up. After a year of not going anywhere, I was sure that there were some tubes that would need to go. Make up doesn’t have a very long shelf life but yet it’s so easy to buy multiple shades of items or…

  • Exploring Patzcuaro and Janitzio, Mexico

    Following on from the recount of my time in Mexico (last stop Guadalajara), the next stop on our Mexican adventures was to a pueblo blanco Patzcuaro. On first impressions, I thought this was the inspiration for the Pixar movie Coco from the white and red building facades. It is indeed, not the town that inspired…

  • Many developed countries are in the midst of a vaccine roll out and there has been chatter here and there about a so called vaccine travel passport. In these conversations, people compare it to the yellow fever vaccine passport. It seems bizarre to me that we are comparing this COVID19 vaccine which, let’s face it,…

  • Birds Eye View From The Sydney Tower Eye

    One humble evening in October 2020, I decided to go and get Maccas (or McDonalds) for dinner. Little did I know that this humble evening would lead me to the tallest building in Sydney. Maccas were running their annual monopoly game where eligible purchases means you get ticket stubs where you can potentially win free…

  • Sitting Under White Lights- Return To The Office

    We’ve received that gentle nudge to return back to the office a few days a week. I started my current role after the pandemic started so have only met my desk in recent weeks. It’s a room with glaring white overhead lights and a tinted window that looks out to another building’s wall. If bend…

  • The Story of Hallstat and Mosquitoes

    I had booked a few days to stay in one of the most picturesque places, Hallstat, with the idea that I would be renting a bike and riding around surrounded by the beautiful mountains. I might even have a dip in the lake and spend long days reading in the shade outside or have a…

  • Friendly Friday: Something Different

    The Friendly Friday Challenge is now a fortnightly challenge co-hosted by Amanda from Something to Ponder About and Sandy from The Sandy Chronicles. Different often has a bad undertone to it. It’s almost disapproving. How dare it be something different! That cannot possibly be. It doesn’t fit my understanding of the world and my stereotypes and I am…

  • Nosalgia: Longing For This Flight Moment

    I show my boarding ticket to the flight attendant and they tell me which aisle to go down. They are all smiling and look so well put together with not a hair out of line. I wonder how they always look so good even through night flights. I’m always so excited to be on huge…

  • First taste of Poland: Exploring Wroclaw

    Originally posted on Lingo in Transit: I wasn’t sure what to expect in my first town in Poland. We took the bus from Berlin and arrived by evening (5hr bus ride). You know when you’ve seen so many images of a place you know what is awaiting. This was not like that. First off, the…
