'Must Sees' in London
For the past month and a half I have been living in London, throughout this time I have had a chance to explore and see many beautiful sites. While I have had the chance to see Buckingham Palace, the Big Ben, Tower Bridge... the list goes on, I believe that there is more to London then these huge tourist attractions, so I have written a small list of five recommendations of 'must sees' in London.

My Most Terrifying Night As A Backpacker
I had a couple of skin-tingling, risky experiences in the beautiful country of Vietnam. Some by total misfortune and some that could have been easily prevented. In true karmic style this was by far my most terrifying and also the most preventable brush with danger, so please bear in mind that I am in no way dissing Vietnam when I tell this story! In fact it'll be pretty clear who I'm dissing as you read on...

A Creative Experiment
Wednesday 21 February 2018, I’m sitting at my new desk, laptop in front of me, headphones in typing away creating lines up on lines of little letters that then flow into words. Occasionally looking up to the left where a large bright window allows the light to flood in where I wish I could be on the other side.

Reflection
Many children dream of being superheroes like Batman or Spiderman, acquiring superpowers that allow them to read the minds of others, or the ability to be invisible or extraordinarily strong.Many dream of being astronauts and treading the moon and seeing the stars much more closely. Many others fantasize about becoming super models or great actors and appear on all the televisions. Some dream of fairies and magical creatures, or with huge dinosaurs that become their friends. All children dream big, including me, because dreams do happen. But I guess my imagination was in another dimension. I am 16-years-old, but I still dream like a little girl with big expectations. I used to dream of traveling, meeting new people from all over the world. I dreamed of becoming independent, of having the opportunity to immerse myself completely in another world and to evade myself for a while in order to be able to understand different perspectives, cultures, and lives after all.

I've Quit My Job, I'm Going to Asia... What Have I Done...
"Just go! Quit your job and go!" my dad yells across the dinner table on a Sunday night about three weeks ago. Fathers around the world are infamous for their "wisdom" and "advice." Mine, however, seems to have the self control of an untrained puppy on acid. A summary of his advice over the past decade can be summed up by this classic: "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" (a horrific thing to tell an 11-year-old!). And yet I listen, and the fallout is something that my father fears and takes pride in in equal measure.
