A Black British Girl's Perspective of a Global Village
I'm a strong believer in living for the moment. It's great being spontaneous sometimes. I say sometimes, because as much it's a word attached to my name, there will come a time (most probably when I get married) when I will have to give up my cherished spontaneity. But until then, I'm still very much... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, or even months ago, I read about a graduate who tweeted she was looking for a job. And guess what- she got one. A highly paid one mind you. Today, just a few hours ago, Taryn, my uni mate whatsApped me saying she tweeted that her dream job is to work... Continue Reading →
'cake, cake, cake, cake, cake!'... They say the older you get, the harder it is to shift the unwanted bulge of indulgent eating. So from now on I'm conscious of what I put in my mouth 😉 Having said that, my lovely neighbour Bev treated my to a healthy Italian salad at Princi... and of... 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 →

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 →
