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 the last full day of the school term before the little kindergarten beans finish for Chinese New Year and it's been a great one. They're currently recharging their batteries after an energetic morning at the discovery play centre across the road.

However, as I stepped out of the rundown lift in my rundown looking building… Continue reading 3.1.2018

Mood: Tired, full but ever so intrigued. 30.12.17 3pm UK time: I keep forgetting that it's New Years Eve tomorrow. Everyone at the airport is wishing customers a Happy New Year and I have to keep snapping back into UK reality. I should've really thought about packing a party popper or a little hat to… Continue reading 30.12.17 – 31.12.17
