• Temporary Home: Camp America

    Summer 2017 was without a doubt the best summer of my life, and it was spent working as a camp counsellor in Greeley, Pennsylvania. This trip really starts back in October 2016 with the application process, which was a lot of paperwork and form filling. From this came the...
  • Temporary Home: Maine

    Prior to living there, I can unashamedly confess that the extent of my knowledge of Maine was Sharpay Evans’ song in High School Musical 2 where she demands ‘turkey imported from Maine’. However following two fun filled summers I can honestly say that Maine will always hold a place...
  • Home Run: the Isle of Wight

    Nestled away in the English channel, the Isle of Wight is often reputed as an OAP’s paradise, or as a permanent re-enactment of the 50s and 60. The Isle of Wight is in fact really a hub of history, music, and eccentricity. Let me convince you that the place...

  • Home Run: Cambridge

    “Where are you from?” “Cambridge” I lie, when anyone from outside of East Anglia asks me. Technically, I grew up in a tiny village north of the city, but Cambridge is still ‘home’. Cambridge is a little urban hotspot for creativity, science, culture and history in the East Anglian countryside...
  • Home Run: Brighton

    Brighton is, hands-down, one of my favourite places in the world. Having lived a 10-minute train journey away from the small city for 17 of the 20 years I’ve existed, I’ve always known it as my closest city and have seen it change and grow throughout the years. It’s...
