Just to eliminate any disappointment right off the bat, I'm afraid this isn't a prequel to 127 hours. I haven't been trapped by a boulder and had to cut my arm off to survive. No, much worse than that. I've spent 100 hours away from social media (just over 4 days to be precise). What [...]
The New Year is a time for a fresh start and new beginnings. Wait, it is, right? New Year is seen as a time to make resolutions and be a better person, but under the surface it invites a lot of self-criticism. More often than not, the idea of "bettering" ourselves is often lost amongst [...]

[Gifted experience] Neighbourhood Liverpool, the home of fancy cocktails, pink neon lights and reaaally good toilet lighting. Or so we thought. NBHD invited me down for their Roll into Monday's (SUSHI!) offer this month, and also their Hard Knock Wednesdays at the end of the last year. It's always been renowned for it's great atmosphere on [...]
So 3 weeks ago I packed up my life and moved to London. It’s been pretty surreal to say the least.
