This is where I share life’s little snapshots—both laugh-out-loud moments and deep reflections. I’m also a wannabe photographer, so, think of it as a series of postcards documenting the adventure and musings on life’s curveballs. Because one thing about me: I’m gonna have to either giggle about it, weave it into a story or both! So grab a coffee, btw I take one sugar! (or wine—in which case, pour me a large one) and don’t leave me hanging!
When you think of British culture, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it tea, the Royal Family, or even fish and chips? Well, it’s something even more iconic for me—the all-singing, all-performing school assembly. Bet you wasn’t expecting that! No, but seriously, back in the day, the whole school would file into […]

Sharing a photo with you today from Gozo. So, fun fact: There are at least 50 beaches in Malta (and Gozo and, and Comino—it’s an archipelago, after all) from sandy ones to rocky ones and dog-friendly ones to those fringed by sprawling countryside. Each is beautiful in its own right. (Now, it almost sounds like

I’ve started rereading Jane Eyre, and this quote stopped me in my tracks: “If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.” I thought, Go on, Helen Burns—how incredibly wise for a 14-year-old girl. She radiates main

Have you had (m)any ‘what was I thinking’ moments this week? Mine started with getting off the bus early to get my steps in. Well, it seemed like a good idea—until I bumped into my ex-boss, who still models in his spare time. I was walking along a busy road, a banger pumping through my
But that means doing the things you love—whether that’s through hobbies, passions, or just living authentically. Either way, you don’t have to force it. I used to think it was me. That I wasn’t interesting enough. Or funny enough. Or something-enough I’d get the late invitations—you know, the ones that ended with ‘if you want’.
I’ve been doing a lot of people-watching lately. Okay, that sounds creepy. Lets go with what the French call flânerie—the art of strolling, people-watching and just soaking up society in a leisurely mindful way. And my goodness it’s exhausting, isn’t it? No, not people-watching—living in a world that tells us we’re only as good as

Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure—Maya Angelou I saw this beautiful quote recently and it has been replaying in my mind ever since: ‘Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure’ Now, isn’t that the truth? You see, I’m

Jordan was the first country I visited that made me cry.No, no—it was in a good way, extremely so. Everyone talks about Petra and the Treasury, but Jordan’s true beauty is in its people. I hadn’t experienced such warmth from strangers before—it was humbling, and I couldn’t hold back the tears on the bus ride

I’ve never been that great at relaxing, especially in crowded places. But somehow, at the beach, it’s different. There’s a soundtrack to beach days: the crash of waves, children’s laughter, and the gentle hum of chatter carried along by the breeze. It all mingles together into this soothing melody. Lying there with my eyes closed,
