Our Trip to Portugal: Part Two
Here's the details from the other half of our trip... Airbnb Ever since I decided to travel for myself, I have stayed (or tried to) in AirBnbs. If you've never used it, give it a try.

Our Trip to Portugal: Part One
We have just come back from Portugal, and I for one had a great time - to say the least. It was the best holiday I've ever been on, full of so much than the basics. It wasn't just chillin' on the beach. It wasn't just sightseeing. It wasn't all adrenaline and thrill-seeking, either. It… Continue reading Our Trip to Portugal: Part One
“My Author Journey” Part One: First Fantasy Book Publication (Ash Born)
I'll start with "Ash Born". Anyone who has followed my journey or known me for a while should have heard of "Ash Born" at least once. If not, I really have failed it. Ash Born is the first book I ever published, well, it wasn't always known by this name.

Remote Working and Freelancing Sucks!
Most people who work a job they hate, or work a 9-5 stuck to a desk, have probably once dreamt of working remotely (away from an office). But as a new remote worker (freelancer), I'm here to say it's not all it's cracked up to be. Here's why this way of working isn't always so… Continue reading Remote Working and Freelancing Sucks!
Spring Has Sprung & What That Means For Me
It is the Spring Equinox today, which means spring is here! I think someone needs to tell the weather that, though... Spring is my favourite time of year because it's all about rebirth, coming anew, and getting out of that winter slump. I find that I suffer from SAD in the winter, so I always… Continue reading Spring Has Sprung & What That Means For Me
