I've written about my plan to do 40 before 40 a couple of times before, after deciding in 2016 than I wanted to have been to at least 40 different countries by the time I turn 40 in December 2026. At that point I had 10 years to get there and it felt like forever, and at the time of writing that post in December 2017, just after turning 31, I'd been to 12 countries, leaving me … [Read more...]
ADHD diagnosis-is it worth pursing for me?
For a while, maybe 6 months or so now, I've been realising I have a lot of ADHD traits. Seeing friends being diagnosed and sharing their experiences has made me see just how much I resonate with them, which does explain a lot of things. I always thought I was ultra chaotic, really shit because I have the concentration span of a flea sometimes, and that I just couldn't tell a … [Read more...]
Why I didn’t love Paris

I've been twice as a child (once with my parents when I was 10, once when I was 13 with school) and once with Fiona in November 2022, which I've written about in my how to spend time in Paris if you love photography post, and I just-really don't like Paris. As a child I think the … [Read more...]

(Turns out I am posting it, months later, when I feel ready to share, as my mental health posts always seem to do quite well-talking about this stuff is important!) I wanted to talk … [Read more...]
Spending 72 hours in Budapest, Hungary
Budapest has been on my must visit list for ages and I'd planned to go in May, but when I ended that trip early Budapest got missed off the end. When J came to meet me in Bratislava in September I knew we weren't staying there-I'd already seen the city and didn't feel I needed more time-so we got the train to Budapest and I finally got to explore the beautiful city. We were … [Read more...]
Museum of Sweets and Selfies, Budapest Review
When I was looking at things to do in Budapest I'd been eyeing up the Museum of Sweets and Selfies but ultimately decided it was a fun thing to do with friends, kids or a partner, rather than something for a solo trip. I made a mental note to try and hunt out something similar when I'm in a city with a friend in the future, and then forgot about it. But then I ended up spending … [Read more...]
