And that’s my Coachella 2013 photo diary – it was beautiful, magical, and everything I wanted it to be.

California Roadtrip in iPhone photos
I loved California. I loved the sunshine, the people, the beauty of the coastline and the character of the little towns we found along the way. We also crossed over in Nevada, and I loved that too – driving across the desert underneath the vastness of the sky with my feet on the dash, nothing but shimmering tarmac ahead, makes…
A Day in Camden
I’ve spent a couple of weekends in London over the last few weeks, but was mainly being a very bad blogger and concentrating on catching up with some of my favourite people rather than taking photos (oops). I did go on a bit of an Instagram spree during a day in Camden with my friend Laura over the Easter bank…
Summers with my Mum, Bamburgh
Because it’s Mother’s Day, I thought I’d write about the first place I travelled to, the place that ignited my love for the beach and the ocean, a place that holds my family in it’s roots and the place my Mum took us to every summer of our childhood.

A Weekend in Newcastle: The Launch of Great Man Theory
Last weekend I headed up to Newcastle for the debut single launch gig of my brother’s band, Great Man Theory.

Solo Female Travel – Don’t be Afraid to Go It Alone
In January, Sarai Sierra, a 33 year old mother from New York, went missing in Istanbul. Last weekend they found her body, covered with a blanket and hidden inside a cavern in the ancient walls. She is believed to have died from a blow to the head, delivered by a blunt object. Her clothes were torn as she attempted to…
Moving Back to Move Forward – Survival Skills for Living at Home
Today marks one year since I packed up my little rented attic room, left my twenty-something lifestyle behind and moved back home to live with my parents. Although I’d planned it a month before, this day came as something of a shock. When I was living away at university, I had no intention of ever properly living at home again….
