THIS is 37. I know, it’s hard to believe😜But alas, it’s true. My 37th cycle round the sun starts today. And you know what, this fiery little Aries is HERE for it 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But first a massive shout-out to the last 365 cycle: four insane months backpacking Southeast Asia with @madeandspotted, growing my blog baby, appearing on the BBC (twice! say what?), a surprise spiritual journey (yes, reiki and crystals included), dabbling in freelance and staring a new job, new blogger friends and the best blogger bestie @thesmilingfoodjournal, skiing for the first time ever, falling back in love with London, many a @psycle spin session (and let’s face it, burrito too), finally letting the past go on its merry way and feeling more grounded than ever. Thank you, 36. For everything ✨🌟💫

So exactly when does a place become home? Is it when you’ve finally learned to navigate the subway without relying on a map? When you’ve found your go-to cafe or pub? Or, like with a language, you start to have all your dreams in that place? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me, it was when I left London, with the world as my oyster, and the option to make anywhere a homebase, that it hit me that London is home 🏡🇬🇧 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Twelve years in, and London and I are still together. That’s longer than loads of my relationships 😜 And though the Central Line is (actual) hell in summer🔥the sun sets at 3.30pm in winter🌚the concept of an “Eat In” meal is absurd🥪you ALWAYS need an umbrella☂️and you can’t smile at strangers on the Tube without being mistaken for a weirdo🥴I still love you, London. Relationships are about compromise after all 😬
Have you see my latest post? I couldn’t resist the plug, link in bio🔌 It’s my first in three weeks! And it’s the perfect guide for three AMAZING days in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which just so happens to include hanging out with some of these beauties🐘😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent an incredible day trekking through the jungle, feeding and bathing a few elephants at an Elephant Rescue Centre in the lush countryside of Northern Thailand. If this isn’t reason enough to visit Chiang Mai, I don’t know what is 😜
✨NEW BLOG✨One of the last direct from my backpacking adventures round the world 🌍 I’m not gonna lie, this one’s got me all sentimental 😭Every time I write one of these posts, I relive that destination through and though. And something about nearing the end of my backpacking content makes me feel like the trip’s ending all over again too 🛬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But enough sop, let’s head to Chiang Mai, Thailand’s gem in the North, where I learned to cook Thai cuisine👩🏻‍🍳bathed a bunch of elephants🐘and enjoyed all things vegan 🌱 Here’s everything you’d want to know to have an epic three days in the city 👯‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in bio, folks ☝🏼
