It’s the 15th of February, the sun is beating down upon our skin and sweat is gathering in uncomfortable places. Spencer is sprawled out on the green bean bag and me on the yellow one, George is lying between us craving attention via head strokes. We look and feel as if the life has been… Continue reading 5.9.20 Cambodia Pt.2

15.7.2020 – Isolated in Isolation
I haven’t yet written about the time I spent working in Mad Monkey Siem Reap because I haven’t quite been in the right headspace for that but I will, eventually. I often scroll back through the photos I took during the 6 weeks I was there and become blissfully unaware of my surroundings. I look… Continue reading 15.7.2020 – Isolated in Isolation
Ed
This morning family and friends will be paying tribute to one of the dearest of gentleman, Ed. I first met Ed when I was just 14 and working in The Manor House cafe as a Saturday girl and then during the holidays. He came in every other day and munched on his favourite meals, liver… Continue reading Ed
8.5.2020 Cambodia pt.1 of many
A lot has changed since the last time I ran my fingers along the keys of my laptop and formed paragraphs consisting of the adventures I was having in South East Asia. I was caught up in feeling like I’d become introverted because of the exhaustion that comes hand in hand with unpacking, repacking, moving… Continue reading 8.5.2020 Cambodia pt.1 of many

Exhaustion is a disease of the brain that results in me becoming an introverted paranoid human. Like a dog’s ears pricing up at the sight of a cat the fear of being spoken about is always at the forefront of my mind. It’s like I catch a glimpse of shifty secretive body language and my… Continue reading 9.2.2020

I’m sat in the lobby of the same hostel I stayed in on my last visit to Bangkok a few weeks before. Back then I didn’t have the foundations fully constructed before a huge earthquake struck and shattered my head to pieces. I had an idea that damage was coming and that’s why I was… Continue reading 4.1.2020

As the mini bus headed south on the twisty turny road from Pai to Chiang Mai a subtle smile creeped into the corners of my mouth. I was listening to Ride by Mako Road which reminds me of Max, so maybe that’s why. It had been 2 weeks since we’d in Myanmar and within a… Continue reading 27.12.2019

Thailand is a place I’ve wanted to visit ever since Year 5 when a group of people visited our school to talk about the Boxing Day Tsunami that killed hundreds and thousands of people. I remember sitting in the gymnasium, two rows from the front, listening closely to the god awful natural disaster that had… Continue reading 19.12.2019

Writing on 24th November: Days filled with coffee and nothingness, reading and overthinking, Myanmar perhaps hasn’t been kind to my extroverted self. Whilst I have been able to find some pure and beautiful souls along my way I have just been a little bit bored of pagodas. As someone who has not yet built the… Continue reading 2.12.19

It’s been a week since I departed from the country that defined the past two years of my life. I’m not sure my brain has processed the reality of not working for 8 hours a day 5 days a week with 18 hyper energetic children but, I don’t feel any negativity towards being in a… Continue reading 16.11.19
