Since Mexico… Read More A Hiatus from Travel (and other stories)
A couple of weeks back I had the absolute best night learning how to Charleston with Daisy Buchanan and Jordan Baker at one of Gatsby’s infamous parties!

A couple of weeks ago the lovely Jas and I met up for a catchup over bottomless bubbles at one of the coolest London venues I’ve ever been too. The Pianoworks is located in Farringdon which was eerily quiet for a Sunday morning being a very business focused area but after queuing up outside waiting… Read More The Pianoworks, Farringdon
Before leaving the UK we were told not to expect too much of Osaka, that Kyoto and Tokyo were the real stars of the country but despite our short visit Osaka really stole my heart more than anywhere else in Japan.
