In a sudden burst of motivation earlier this year I downloaded the completely free app 'Couch to 5k'. Keep reading to learn about my experience!

Top Tips for Interrailing/Travelling

Over a year ago (March 13th 2017) to be exact, I went interrailing with one of my closest friends around Europe. It was one of the most out there things I have ever done and took a lot for me to do.

If anyone reading this is considering it but isn't sure my only bit of advice is DO IT! You'll regret it if you don't and you won't if you will. So, here are some of my best tips for interrailing/travelling, enjoy! 

My Summer 2018 Bucket List

It is taking everything I have to stay happy and positive in this cold, wet, dreary weather, one of the only ways I am managing it, is the thought of summer being just around the corner.

So I decided to do some positive productive thinking and write a list of goals for this summer! Enjoy!

20 things I've learnt in 20 years

So, Wednesday the 28th of February was my 20th birthday. Now, I know I'm still young but not being in my 'teens' anymore and being categorised as being in my 'twenties' is something I'm really scared about for many reasons and maybe I'll write a post on what I want to achieve in my 20's in the future however for now, this is 20 things I've learnt in 20 years. Enjoy!

My Travel Bucket List

I have caught the summer bug and want to travel anywhere with even an inch of sun or beach, so I thought now would be a good time to write about 5 places that are on my bucket list to travel to. Let me know if you've been to any of these places I would love to know your experiences!

Sexual Assault Has No Gender.

Now, this is a post I've felt quite nervous to write. However after recently being involved in a discussion regarding the topic, I knew I had to discuss it and after finding out actually 1 in 6 men experience some type of sexual assault before the age of 18 I knew I had to write about it. I am TERRIFIED of saying the wrong thing but please read it all the way through and comment your thoughts on the matter, I would love to know what people think about this topic.The photos above were from this website - http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/programs/education/no-more/psa-campaign/no-more-excuses-male-survivors-series - who joined with Viacom and 1in6 (another incredible website for males affected by sexual assault) to start the NO MORE campaign, these photos are so powerful and I would recommend having a look through the websites. I could write a whole post on how well written and educational the myths and facts page is on the 1in6 website along with so many other pages on their site, please go over and read what they've written.  TRIGGER WARNING - I do mention sexual assault in this post so please be aware when reading.

Long Distance Relationships

 As of September 2017, my boyfriend of 18 months and I both went to university, him in Cardiff and me in Southampton, there is a 2 hour 30 minute train journey now between us. I know that for a lot of people, that isn't that far at all, however when we are back home we are a 10 minute drive away from each other so when we moved, it was really hard to adjust to. So, I thought I'd write a bit about how we keep our relationship as good as it can be when we don't see each other for a while. Enjoy and I hope this helps anyone else in a similar situation.

My Top 5 Vegan Restaurants and Options

I'm not sure if this is something I have mentioned on my blog before but I have been vegan for 3 years this year! 3 years ago all I could eat in restaurants were salad and chips, with nowhere near where I live having specifically vegan options. However, with it being veganuary and veganism now being so popular I thought I would share some of my favourite amazing restaurants that have specifically vegan options and menu's and so people know how easy it is to eat out as a vegan! Enjoy.
