It's my blog and I'll write if I want to..
.. I'm going to try to anyway :)​
Welcome to my personal blog.
​
I really enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas and for as long as I can remember, I've been scribbling down stories and random thoughts but have never been brave enough to put them out there in the world *major stage fright*
​
I am currently completing a Freelance Magazine Journalism course which I am absolutely loving.
​
To give myself a challenge, (and also because I love music and the meanings behind songs) - have decided to assign a different song to each day and just go with whatever thoughts come to mind. It might be travel related, memories, random thoughts or just something I've learnt for the day.
​
I'm hoping that by the end of the year, will have gained more confidence, ideas and also to be able to look back and see improvement.
​
Would love feedback, song suggestions and comments so please feel free to join me on this lil journey of mine in 2021 :)

A little bit about me:
​
I love to write and learn new things. Travel is one of my greatest passions and the bucket list keeps on growing.
I have been fortunate in having had the opportunity to travel which I turned into a bit of a work experience for a few years - working as a barmaid in the UK, as a special needs theatre arts program counsellor in Chicago, AU Pairing in Connecticut, Attractions person (no idea what my actual title was, just that I got to be really loud over a microphone) at Six Flags Great America, working in a game reserve in the North West of South Africa - where we would often hear lions and see elephants coming up for a drink in the pool - and finally working at a hotel in South Dakota before coming back home to South Africa. Each of these experiences were incredible and taught me so much.
​
​
Growing up, we would always have all genres of music playing in the house and my parents would tell my sister and I the stories behind different songs, so definitely where my love of music came from.
​
I am a keen (unless its early in the morning) runner and enjoy doing half marathons and in the past few years have completed 3 full distance ones as well. I'm very much a back of the pack kind of girl and am very slow but that's where all the fun is :)
​
I love adventure of any kind, good humour and family and friends are very important to me.
​
I am obsessed with chocolate, sunflowers, reading, my cat and have never met a glass of wine I haven't liked.
