August 27, 2019
My second book review. My thoughts on the 16th book I read this year.
Book Review: Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows by Balli Kaur Jaswal
August 24, 2019
Book 1 of 2019, and what a fab start to my year of reading this was. Of course, it was that stand-out title that first pulled me in. How could it not? It’s unusual, isn’t it? No matter how worldly and open-minded you are, you probably haven’t heard the words…
The worst hospital experience of my life: a Vietnamese trip from hell
July 18, 2019
A holiday from our holiday I should have known our trip to Mui Ne was all gonna go wrong when I was throwing up in the toilets of the coffee shop we stopped off at before our 5 hour bus journey. Feeling close to passing out, I genuinely…
A Thai massage with a happy ending
July 18, 2019
On our last evening in Thailand, we decided to finally go for a Thai massage – it wouldn’t be right to leave without having gotten one! JJ went for the full traditional Thai massage, and I went for a foot and leg massage, as anything else would have killed me.
A day I’ll never forget: Elephant Nature Park, Chiang Mai
July 5, 2019
Me & JJ both wanted to visit elephants during our trip, so we wanted to make sure we did so in a completely ethical way. Many places in Thailand still offer elephant riding, something which is absolutely not okay. I’ll admit, I didn’t even know it was wrong until about…
My first time visiting a Buddhist temple
June 16, 2019
Wat Chedi Luang Temple We’d spent the first few days of our time in Chiang Mai chilling out, going for food, drinking in bars, and trying to explore the local area. I say trying because my inability to walk very far is making it very difficult, especially in the high…
I tried out a floatation tank and all I got was this lousy vagina pain
June 6, 2019
I would start by saying soz to any friends or family who think this is TMI. But I don’t care if you’re uncomfortable. I was bloody uncomfortable lying in that tank. I had a very painful experience, and because people don’t wanna talk about stuff like this, a lot of…
Why I quit my job and booked a one-way flight to Thailand. Spoiler: a fear of death and a broken body
June 5, 2019
I’m now 3 days into unemployment, and 3 days away from the start of my adventure to South-East Asia. & I can’t bloody wait. When I met JJ last year, he was just leaving his job, ready to go away to Thailand like he’s always wanted to. Then we met,…
I gave stand-up comedy a go. Stand-up, sat down.
April 7, 2019
Got 5 minutes to spare? Want to see how hilarious I am? Check out my first ever stand-up comedy set here! I’ve always enjoyed watching stand-up comedy, and I love making people laugh (who doesn’t?), but I don’t think I’d ever really considered actually trying it for myself. Until…
