I thought it might be a nice idea to do a monthly update on what's going on blog-wise. Knowing my sporadic nature of blogging it's probably a good idea to set some goals first and then try and attain them. With any luck this year of blogging will be much less all over the place!
So, what's in store for you this coming January? Well, I'm so glad you asked!
1. DOTJPG (The Remaining Cities)
Remember THIS? Well there are still a whole bunch of cities that I still want to share so get ready for that my little travel monsters.
2. City Guides!
I'm no expert but a couple of days in a few gorgeous cities is easy to plan and harder to execute. Following on from actually finishing up the photo series, January will take you on your own journeys across the globe and I'm here to make those tough planning stages a little easier.
Today, I'm taking you through our day out in Kew Gardens. From the beautiful conservatories to why the water-lily pond was less than ideal, here is a no-nonsense guide to visiting this gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage Site if you're sort of into cool plants and definitely into walking around wistfully amongst trees.

All you need to know to plan the perfect interrail trip to get yourself across Europe by train.
3. Vlogs?
Okay, so I can't make promises on this one but oh boy did we take a bunch of video and I think it's about time that we actually share it. Us being me and my trusty travel buddy, George. Look forward to some of that!
I think three focus points is good enough for the start of the year. I hope you stick around for the cool things to come because I sure as hell am so excited to actually do some writing and photographing and editing.
If there's anything in particular you'd like to see then leave a little comment below!
Until next time friends,

As an anxious bean, I get a bit in my head about revelling in and sharing all the good things that go on. Since I’ve had a lot of big joys over the past few years and small joys every day, I thought I'd make this a small series. Let’s start with one REALLY BIG and one not-so-small moment.
It has been exactly two years to the date since my last post here. The big ‘ole panini really turned the whole world upside down and my world was no different. So let’s unpack the pandemic years once and for all.
Mid Autumn Festival approaches, and the time comes for me to shove an ungodly amount of mooncakes into my mouth. But, before we dive into the cosy autumn months, let's take a quick look at this past summer through the lens of food!
The things I once found to be mundane intricacies of living in this city are now endlessly interesting and beautiful to me - so here is an assortment of snaps I took over this past winter, with love from Hong Kong.
We took a couple of pictures with a Canon AE-1 on a recent-ish walk to Hong Kong's Instagram Pier - so here’s a tiny film drop of the handful of pictures we got that day!
We spent an awful lot of time in Chinatown when we lived in London. I suspect it’s because we missed home so much and it was one of the few places that gave us a little sense of what was to come. Here’s to the place that made my hell feel a little less hellish - with love from Chinatown.
We arrived in Copenhagen with 2 and a half-ish days ahead of us to explore the danish capital, here's that roll of film - with love from Copenhagen.
Blogtober Day End // I have literally been sitting at my laptop for about 4 hours trying to write a post for Blogtober today and I think I have reached the conclusion that it is not for me! Let's talk about that.
Blogtober Day 11 // Welcome to Friday! Today we're chatting about the cost and value of a good mani pedi and whether or not putting up with micro-aggressions is worth it.
Blogtober Day 10 // It is no secret that post-grad depression found its way into my life and sapped the joy straight out of me. Today, I thought I'd lighten up the previous days post with some cat-chat and an onslaught of kitty pics.
