I went to a PR event this afternoon & they were giving out bottles of cacao juice! I had tried cacao fruit when in Zanzibar🇹🇿 (on a spice farm tour) but I’ve not seen the juice before (& no it doesn’t taste like chocolate, the beans are used in chocolate making, juice=flesh)!

Never thought I would say this…! After having a video go viral on both tiktok (760k) and Instagram (100k), I can now say that the most pathetic tr*ll like people hang out on Instagram…what a grim platform, I never liked it anyway and now I know why. Definitely not my place.

I love escape rooms but I think Questo city tours may be better! I first discovered it when I was in Malta & I played another today near to where I live. You have to follow directions around a city & solve riddles. Many are history/landmark based, so it’s a fun way to learn!

Anyone that’s been divorced in the UK…how easy was it switching back to your old name? I’d need to change it in 21 places and the thought is stressing me out but I need to renew my passport at the end of the year, so I’m running out of time to decide 🙈 What have you done?👇🏼

✈️🧳Had a comment on a TikTok I made and it got me thinking…do you lock your suitcase with a padlock (or the built in lock) when you travel?

Yay! I found mystery books in The Works and they were only £2.50 😁 Yes it’s a bit older than my demographic…about three 70yr olds that travel round the UK in a camper van!

Well, I know it’s early days but just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, Aug Update decided it would be the gift that just keeps on giving (or should that be taking?). I’m done.

The gift that just keeps on giving. I had literally zero hope or expectations for the update, so far it’s even worse (I wasn’t sure if that could be possible). I’ve had 6 months of coming to terms with it, nothing I do seems to help, but it’s still sad to see it💔

2 more weeks and I’m off to a new country✈️ The very last trip for my red passport and the name I’ve had for the past 9 years😱!

This came up on my FB memories from 8yrs ago…the time the little English girl sc*mmed my American coworkers by being a gaga ball pro (I had learnt how to play 8yrs previous while working as a camp counsellor on Camp America 😂). Needless to say they were not expecting it!

My 2nd site that I haven’t touched/updated in a year, is as slow as anything, has the same ad network as my main site, the same keyword strategy etc has seen an uptick with this past update & now gets more clicks than my MAIN site. Make it make sense. (Shame the UK RPMs are low)

Was scrolling through my phone camera roll (clearing up some of my photos and videos) and miss SE Asia💙🇹🇭

G might have destroyed my blog but yesterday I hit 10,000 TEFL English classes that I’ve taught over the past 4yrs!

Yep, this legit happens. I was in PreK and we used to say ‘incase a lion’ came in the school 🙈

I was annoyed at myself that I went over my daily budget to play bingo at my hotel in Türkiye 🇹🇷…but then won the full house and therefore made back my daily budget and then some 😂😂

One of my highlights in Türkiye 🇹🇷 was walking the pedestrian coastal path between Marmaris and Icmeler! Originally I was going to walk one way & get the water taxi back, but ended up just walking both ways and clocking up 14.5 miles and 31k steps 😂
