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

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.
Book Review(ish): “The Fault in Our Stars” & Tahlia’s Memory
This will be a short review, for this book isn't new and the author is well-known. It would be silly of me to tell you about this book because I'm sure you've all read it by now.

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!
My Feelings About the Wolf Run
So yesterday, I completed the Spring Wolf Run. For those of you who don't know, the Wolf Run is a 10k obstacle run, featuring a lot of mud and water and big obstacles. It was torture! Here is what I've thought about the whole event from my personal experiences... Be more prepared I wasn't prepared… Continue reading My Feelings About the Wolf Run
