From London to Australia, A Journey

October 9, 2013

It’s been weeks, months and years of planning, hoping, wishing and dreaming, but I finally did it. I finally boarded that plane and moved to Australia! And what a crazy journey it’s been. This all began way back in December 2011 when, pretty much just days after arriving in this gloriously sunny country, I’d decided … More From London to Australia, A Journey

Photo Of The Week: Summer Has Arrived

May 27, 2013

This last week was full of sad goodbyes and lots of hectic packing, and then all of a sudden it was time to jump on a plane and fly away to New York City to begin my next big adventure. As you’ll know if you’ve been reading the last couple of posts, I’m spending the … More Photo Of The Week: Summer Has Arrived

Hotel Review – Capri Lynbrook Hotel Inn

September 4, 2011

Okay so let’s start with the fact that this isn’t actually a hotel. It’s a motel, in the middle of nowhere. Then let’s move onto the fact that when we arrived, they’d given away our TWO reserved rooms (each with 2 double beds in – there were 5 of us). So yeah. Not a great … More Hotel Review – Capri Lynbrook Hotel Inn

Summer Camp. Day 1. Arrival Day.

June 18, 2011

So, I have arrived in NYC and I’m so sleepy I can barely even think, so this one’s just gonna be a quick list type update of the things I did today: – Drove to Paddington Station. – Got a train to Heathrow. – Met some people going to the same camp. – Checked in. … More Summer Camp.

Photo Of The Week: Fifth Avenue Apple Store, NYC

May 22, 2011

On my 2nd day in New York City I wandered up 5th Avenue for a spot of shopping on my way to Central Park. Just before I reached the park I saw the most beautiful Apple Store I’ve ever visited (in case you hadn’t already noticed, I’m a huge Apple fan). All shiny and made … More Photo Of The Week: Fifth Avenue Apple Store, NYC

Photo Of The Week: Empire State Building, NYC

May 15, 2011

Towards the end of my time in New York, I thought I’d better take a trip up the Empire State Building, just to see what all the fuss is about. And boy was I in for a shock…it was like nothing I’d ever seen before. I got up to the top (well, not the very … More Photo Of The Week: Empire State Building, NYC

Photo Of The Week: Brooklyn Bridge

May 8, 2011

While I was in New York, I thought it was vital that I walked the entire way across the Brooklyn Bridge, mostly just so that I could say I had, but also so that I could get a view of the city from the outside. It was a spectacular evening, and I reached Brooklyn just … More Photo Of The Week: Brooklyn Bridge

(18) What Is The Meaning Of Life?

March 23, 2011

I just got linked to this video and felt compelled to share it. It’s about life and freedom and what it all means. A powerful film, and one that will definitely be an inspiration to the documentary I’m editing, which is all about the personal items people carry around with them. Both films expose people … More (18) What Is The Meaning Of Life?
