Winter Walks


Its so lovely to be away on a family holiday, and at my most favourite time of the year... CHRISTMAS!!


 Every year my family and I head away for Christmas, for a much needed break and escape from reality. Previous years we have been to America, Egypt or Cornwall, but this year we decided to stay pretty local in good old Yorkshire!

We're staying in a little log cabin in the middle of nowhere, and have our very own hot tub outside which is a real treat. As there is very little to do, we like to head out on winter walks through the forest. As soon as we got here we pumped the heating right up and lit the fire. Little did we know there is underfloor heating also which means the whole cabin is absolutely boiling and we're all walking around in shorts and t-shirts. Not so christmassy,  I know. Therefore a walk is a perfect way to get some fresh air and clear my head. It's been such a crazy year and I finally feel relaxed. 

The scenery is so nice here, and the forest right on our doorstep. Walking through the forest makes you feel like you've stepped straight into a fairytale. I can only imagine how magical it would be if there was snow here too.


So if your needing something to do this Christmas, head outside. Put your wellies on and embrace your inner Bear Grylls. Go on, I dare you!

Niagara Falls

MY WONDER OF THE WORLD Our trip to Canada involved one day visiting Niagara Falls! When I found out I was coming to New York for my study abroad year, I realised it was only a 4-5 hour drive from Niagara Falls, and so I told myself I really had to go. We tried and planned a trip to go last semester, but for one reason or another it never happened- and I'm actually quite glad it didn't because we were planning to go to the American side, and I'm so glad we went to the Canadian!! We planned this trip when we got back in January and it gave me something to look forward to, and it was an amazing day. Now, I was 100% convinced Niagara Falls was one of the 7 Wonders of the World, and after an intensive google, I've had to accept it isn't - I got very excited when I thought I had finally been to one of the seven. However, I think it definitely should be on that list (have you seen it by the way? It's actually a very random list in my opini

Spring Break in Montréal

BONJOUR MONTRÉAL! Last week was Spring Break, and I went to Montréal!!!! Montréal was another place I had always thought of visiting when I found out I was studying in New York. It was actually one of the places I selected as an option to study abroad, and the whole French region thing really interested me - although it was soooo much more French than I had expected!!! My friend drove us both to Montréal, where we stayed for 2 nights; which was definitely enough time to see the city!!
