A Black British Girl's Perspective of a Global Village
I've been back for almost a month. Yet I'm still finding it difficult to write about this trip. The trip I had such high expectations of. However I disappointed myself by staying in the capital. Trapping myself in Addis... Not the best place to spend three weeks when there's so much of Ethiopia to see...... Continue Reading →
Her name is Rosa. Like a Rose. She has big hair.. Be careful she doesn't cast a spell on you!... Or you'll love her as much as I do! Rosa happens to be my friend. In fact not just my friend. She's the best one I have at hand. So, yeah. I guess a best friend.... Continue Reading →
How do I make a career out of my passion for travel?... I picked up the latest edition of Robert Kelsey’s What’s Stopping You? at Heathrow airport on my way to Addis Ababa this summer. My eye caught the attention of a sunshine yellow book with a very up front title. It questioned me as I... Continue Reading →
I guess the question I should really ask is 'Is a degree worth fighting for?' A few days a go I would have said yes. Despite a very difficult and challenging first year of my BA Journalism course, I was really looking forward to getting back into my routine of study. In less than two... Continue Reading →
The thoughts first started in Ethiopia (still have to blog about that trip)! Maybe I had too much time on my hands. Time to be thinking about the 'what ifs' and 'wonder whens'. So yeah, basically I started thinking a lot about kids- having own that is... and marriage! And simply all the stuff that... Continue Reading →
I get it all the time! No matter how much I plan a head so I have 101 things to keep me busy when I arrive back home... that blue feeling just weighs me down. Even after a long trip... When I'm longing for the comfort of my bed, cooking my own food (usually when I've... Continue Reading →
A few of the stereotypical assumptions I've had to deal with during my travels... Yes, there are certain travellers that fit certain stereotypes. But as the saying goes- don't judge a book by its cover... you'll be surprised what you find inside it! So that brings me to my first point. I am not your... Continue Reading →
Perhaps I went Spain expecting too much. Thats the only way I can justify an unfulfiling trip- the first half of it that is. The hype of Barcelona had me intrigued. I've been to Madrid and that experience was enough to keep me away from Spain for a long time. However I was sure Barcelona... Continue Reading →
Q) How do you know you've passed the academic year? A) You've either revised so darn much you're confident as you walk out of the exam room, or you simply wait for results day. Well, I did neither, at least not the latter. I'm still trying to workout what made me so confident I had... Continue Reading →
My summer vacation was near and I was itching to get out of London. After a stressful year at university, a painful breakup (best friends are particularly useful during this period) and the British weather looking unpromising, its no wonder I needed to get away- and quick! So I booked a ticket, and found myself... Continue Reading →
