So! If anyone is reading this then hey, welcome :) So I have two reasons for starting a blog...


Reason 1: Next year I'm heading off to live in France for 6 months followed by another 6 months in Spain so I wanted a way to be able to keep people updated with what I'm up to.


Reason 2: It's on my Day Zero list and currently I haven't completed many of the challenges I've set myself.


Hopefully I won't be too boring and maybe I'll see you soon!
