Leaving Coogee!
On 17th January 2017 by HelenOh my gosh I can’t believe the time has come already to leave Coogee and move back to the city. I have hand-on-heart loved every single second of living here. The house I was in and my room may not be beautiful but I have lived with the best people a girl could ask for
Reflecting on 3 months of travelling
On 14th January 2017 by HelenI cannot believe I have been in Australia for 3 months already. Time is going so so quickly. I’ve changed so much in 3 months it’s crazy. I remember being in floods of tears at Heathrow waving my mum off at security and then nearly vomiting when I saw the plane. I remember being so
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
On 1st January 2017 by HelenWow what a year 2016 was. It was one of the biggest years of my life and I made some massive decisions, the main one being to leave my job and come to the other side of the world. For a lot of people it’s a no brainier but for me it was a huge
We’re Going to the Chapel…
On 27th December 2016 by HelenBoxing Day was slightly unusual in the fact that I attended a wedding. It’s not your usual date for a wedding but it was such a fabulous day! Back in the UK I worked with an Aussy called Louise and we’ve kept in contact since she has returned back to Australia. Her wedding perfectly coincided
Aussy Christmas Day
On 25th December 2016 by HelenWow what can I say? It’s been such a crazy, hectic and great Christmas Day!

My First Summer Birthday!
On 15th December 2016 by HelenI turned 27 this week. That age where you are now counted in the late 20s category, that age where you feel you should probably have your life in some kind of order and that age where you slightly cry inside because you slowly have that realisation that you have nothing sorted or figured out
Lets Talk Gluten
On 11th December 2016 by HelenBefore I left the UK I went to the GP for some blood tests thinking things would be fine, however abnormalities appeared and after being sent from pillar to post and the wrong consultant it was eventually discovered that I am either highly gluten intolerant or coeliac. Why do I say ‘either’? Well when I
Getting in the Christmas Spirit
On 4th December 2016 by HelenI have to admit I haven’t felt so Christmassy here. There’s something about 29 degree weather that zaps the spirit of the season and compared to London Sydney doesn’t really ‘do’ Christmas all that well. HOWEVER I was determined to capture some of the Christmas spirit this city has to offer so both myself and
Byron Bay
On 23rd November 2016 by HelenI could not wait to write this post this week as I travelled to Byron Bay and it has to be one of the most stunning places I have ever seen. After a very uncomfortable 12 hour bus journey from Sydney overnight, my friend Holly and I arrived 7:30am Saturday morning. We went straight for
Finally Getting a Routine!
On 13th November 2016 by HelenThis week has been a bit different. Good news is I got my house at the beach and I am so excited. I move in in 2 weeks. Although it’s only a short 2 month let its perfect for me as it gives me freedom and means I am not tied down to one place
