3 Things to Consider While Organising a Group Trip*
I truly believe that everyone should take a group trip once in their lives. I’m not talking about a couple of families, I’m talking about 10+ people. Maybe you’ll have been lucky and got that over with while at school, but I know that’s not the case for everyone. I feel like I’d enjoy the challenge of organising one, but I also don’t think I have enough friends who would like to travel and certainly our family is way too small.

Three Ways to Creatively Brand Your Craft Business*
As i’ve mentioned a few times, I’m self employed and theoretically run my own business (although I’m not sure how much of a business you can have writing website content, but there we go) so I know just how hard it can be to make yourself stand out, especially if you’re quintessentially British, like myself, and struggle to blow your own trumpet.

Thinking About Starting a New Life Abroad*
There’s a lot of pressure on young people these days. Get the right job, the right partner, the right house. The list seems absolutely never ending. However, for some of us, we want more. We may already have the killer career and all of that, and there’s no knocking it if we have. But for loads of us, we want to see the world instead, or in fact, some of us even want it all.
