Slightly hazy and suffering a tad from a few too many nights out, I currently find myself holed up in my room in my brand new Exeter University digs. After moving in on Sunday, my room is beginning to look a little more homely (i.e. taken on the form of a bomb site) and I’m [...]

Why is it that, when separated from something/someone/somewhere, we crave the small things that bring us closer to it? Yet, when we’re suddenly brought closer to said thing, a feeling of wanting distance comes over us?
For example, there have been a few Sundays over the course of my trip in which I’ve wanted nothing more [...]

It’s a Friday night, I’m in a hostel with an awesome bar, good music and lots of people and yet I find myself sitting on Facebook. Why you ask? Partly because I can no longer afford to go drinking, but mainly because of my lack of sleep last night. When I first came away, I [...]

I’m struggling to keep my eyes open while writing this entry, thanks to both my noisy noisy dorm mates getting up at stupid o’clock and the fact that I too needed to get out of bed when they did in order to do my laundry. Today is one of those catch up days where I [...]

Having finally found myself in a place for more than one day, I felt a blog was definitely due. The last couple of weeks have flown by. They’ve been a mix of tears, laughter, stupid conversations and even more stupid activities.
Perhaps I should back track a little? I arrived in Rotorua in time for Christmas [...]

So much has happened since my last blog entry that I’m not really sure where to begin with this one. I last left off with birthday celebrations and worries about not ever making it to Sydney….so to make it clear, I arrived there in one piece…or rather half a piece after a killer 48 hour [...]

I once again find myself in an internet cafe in Bangkok and can’t believe it’s been three weeks since I was last here. Time truly does fly…which is just as well as I’ve discovered my flight out of Bangkok has been cancelled and that I’m going to be here for another week or so.
Thanks to [...]

Thought it was definitely about time to get the blogging underway, especially as I’ve been in Thailand for two weeks and done more stuff here in that time than I probably would have in 2 months at home.
The first thing that should probably be noted is that I’m still actally here…my 10 days here has [...]

It’s a strange feeling knowing you have no commitments and no responsibilities. Whilst having no exams, no school and no job seems like a desirable situation, I’ve found it to be surprisingly dull. Now both my trips to Herne Bay (no, I’m not kidding) and Venice are well and truly over, I’m left with a [...]

In the interests of keeping the irrelevant ramblings going, I’ve decided to post another instalment of the embarrassment that is my life.
There are been two shocking events lately that have left me incapable of even attempting to defend my actions (or idiocy). The first was at a friend’s 18th, where a whole mass of us [...]
