Musings after Lockdown
And the world awakens. Reawakens. Cautious glances, hesitant footsteps, tentatively venturing beyond the front garden. Shy waves at long unseen faces, scarcely believing the option to do so is even real. Reemerging from shuttered windows, eyes blinking in the bright…
Braid Burn | Morningside to Holyrood | Hiking Edinburgh
First of all, “hiking” is an exaggeration here, as the Braid Burn is on level ground, so it’s really just a long walk. But for the sake of organisational purposes on the blog here, it’s easiest to include this in…
How I Cope with Stress
Not well, is the short answer to that title. But I’m going to try to explain how I cope with stress anyways! I’ve never been great with it, as I get tense and wound up fairly easily. I have a…

Merida | Mexico
Arriving in Merida late the night before after the long drive from Palenque, and only venturing out the hotel for food, didn’t exactly let us see much of the town right away! But that theme did sort of continue throughout…
Palenque | Mexico
To put it bluntly, Palenque is a pain in the arse to get to. It’s a long drive from whichever other location you’re coming from. This post cover two days out of our trip, and at least half of each…
