Bangkok Wandering
Along the banks of the Chao Phraya river lay parts of Bangkok rarely visited by outsiders. This the Bangkok, the Siam, of yesteryear. A place of narrow alleyways quiet during the heat of day but full of life, noise and barbeque smoke at night. It’s a contradiction to much of the ever modernising city where skyscrapers and shopping malls multiply by the day.

Mi Rabia Crece
My rage grows....and it grows because I saw what Mexico was. I saw the beauty and richness in its culture. I saw people count their blessings and thank every day for life. I saw families united and small towns with every member caring for one another. But now I see it too, and what I see I do not like.

Why are black people don't go for camping?
"Do I look like a camp for you?" splutters my friend Kiren. And I have to admit, her dry hair and beautiful nails don't scream "tent lover". What about Anna, who grew up in Macclesfield, a rocky outcrop in the Peak region? "What can I do for you?" he asks, busy. Email, on the other hand, never even considered putting it in a tent.

A Fat Girl's Guide to Surviving China
I've been living and working in China for the past five and a half years. Whenever I get the chance, I travel. When I'm not traveling or working, I'll go on different facebook groups geared towards fat women and travel. I've talked to a lot of women that want to go to China, but they're afraid China isn't fat-friendly. That the people will make fun of them. They won't find the clothes they like, and they won't like the food.

Grace as my Narrative
Seven years ago, my feet walked the beaches of the Bay of Bengal. It was as if I was living someone else’s life. A dream for sure. There for business and fun but my mind’s eye was as excited as a child’s who shakes a snow globe over and over again and can’t believe the magic in front of her.

Invisible No Longer. Top Story - September 2020.
In the 1800’s, when New Zealand was colonised, the ancient and sacred female tattooing practice of moko kauae began to fade away. Its very existence was placed under threat alongside the spiritual culture and identity of Māori. Yet, what was initially thought to be lost by the devastating impact of colonisation, has now begun to blossom once again; meaning that a whole new generation of Māori women can wear their identity with pride.

The Karnak Temple
The Karnak Temple is a great subject for the topic of iconiclash. As known, the Egyptians believed in many gods, a belief frowned upon by more popular religions such as Christianity. A lot of Egyptian gods were also depicted with the heads of animals, which is not often found in other religions.

Saying "Hello" in France
I have found that around the world, people will great each other in very different ways. Whether it's a kiss, a hug, a handshake or a wave, saying hello is part of human nature and it varies a lot depending on the country, culture and occasion. I find that greetings in France are quite different so I'm going to share my experience.
