A Month in NZ

After being home in Australia for a month I decided that I had a case of itchy feet, or more so my Aunt and Uncle had a case of the travel bug.  With them heading off to the big apple and me heading over to NZ to look after my cousins it seems the whole family shares a passion for travel.  No wonder we're all so restless when it comes to sitting still!

Love London, But Leave It Too

No one really tells you about the 'in between moments' when you move to a new city.  The moments where your new city isn't quite your home yet the excitement of being there has already worn off; the loneliness, the uncertainty and the little-bit-lost feeling.  At least that is how I remember feeling when I first moved to London.  There were days where I ended up at the end of a random tube line and days where I just stood in the middle of a high street wondering where I was... heck there were even days where I had to go to the nearest shop and ask them where exactly I had ended up.  After a few months though I had memorised the Northern line, become a regular at Costa Coffee and was practically an information guide standing outside of Oxford Circus station.  As soon as all of these things happened my confidence heightened and my pace quickened (hence the extremely fast London walk).

Meandering Around Morocco

If you follow me on any other type of social media you'll probably know by now that I spent the past 10 days in Morocco (if you don't follow me on my other social media sites, get your A into G and follow me now - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).  In regards to Morocco though the sun was shining, culture was blooming and the colours were indeed vivid.

An Icelandic Adventure

A few hours ago I returned, exhausted, from a spectacular visit to Iceland.  Although tired and run-down I can't help but reminisce (I know... already!) about my adventure out to this beautiful country.  With sights of both the moon and the sun at the same time, snow tipped mountain tops and breathtaking views it isn't hard to imagine that this country is indeed one of my favourites so far.  Even without seeing the Northern Lights (the weather was too cloudy on the days where I had the opportunity to go), it really is a stunning little country.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Every time I sit down to type for my blog, I somehow always start my post off by apologising for being so lax with the regularity of posts.  Fortunately, I've realised that I have absolutely zero schedule to run by and therefore I should really stop apologising!  I guess it's just in my nature... anyway...

I snapped some pretty beautiful shots this weekend, some of which I want to share with you guys.  On Saturday I decided to journey on over to Greenwich to check out the markets and of course the Royal Observatory.  Sadly the weather that day was extremely true to England's reputation for an overcast, dull climate.  Therefore the photos weren't exactly amazing.  On the plus side though, I checked out the Astronomy Photographer of the Year exhibition which was by far much more exquisite than the weather itself.  In fact, why am I even relating the two?  Never mind the weather, if you're a Londoner like myself then you should definitely go and check out this free exhibition; the photography is on par with the most amazing sight you've ever seen (actually, it's probably better - but anyway, GO AND SEE IT).

A Wave of a Wand and I'm in Watford...

...Well, not literally speaking but close enough due to the fantastic transportation links between London and Watford.

If you hadn't already heard from the grapevine of other social media sites, I visited a magical little world over the past weekend and it was especially wonderful.  To be able to personally see the studio where the magic began and the young actors and actresses grew up made me feel nostalgic for my childhood.  I too grew up with Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger and I therefore felt somewhat connected to the stories that this tour presented.
