A Summer Evening in Montpellier: a City in the South of France
The average temperature in Montpellier today was about 28ºC during the day. There were few drops of rain. You could count them if you wanted to. It had been very sunny. The lady who came to fix the AC in our lab today did not do a good job. We had to open the windows. It is summer and summertime here in the south of France is quite unique. I am still wondering why there are a lot of beaches here yet they have less rainfall compared to England. I had a meeting with three of my supervisors on the progress of my research, worked on a few codes to analyze some data, and did some editing on a paper that is about to be published, then I left for home. While cycling along the tramway I changed my mind. "Let's see what the city looks like today especially the city centre". I told myself.

After a year, Europe welcomes travellers back in the hopes of reviving tourism.
After more than a year of Covid-imposed limitations, Europe is reopening to Americans and other visitors in the hopes of drawing tourists - and their cash - back to the continent's trattorias, landscapes, and cultural treasures.

My Dream Destination: Ukraine
Long before I started watching Bald and Bankrupt's travel vlogs, my wish was to visit multiple post-Soviet countries such as Ukraine in the nearer future.

The day will come, it will just take time. I want to first learn and master travelling on a plane independently. I also want to experience Russia with my brother and see how I enjoy it, before I decide to travel to another post-Soviet destination like Ukraine.

Remembering The Wild in us
Remembering The Wild in us The Kitten and the Castle by Coral Sundfeld I recognise a Souls Calling, when it arrives, turn your world upside down and it will taunt you to wake up, to pivot and pause until you listen to the beckoning of synchronicity. It was some time before I heeded the call - a broken toe, next my hands became spontaneously inflamed and did not allow me to continue to work.

Falkirk, Scotland: the town where I was born
“I remember, I remember, the house where I was born”, wrote Thomas Hood in the early 19th century. I can remember neither the house nor the Scottish town in which that house still stands, having left both at a very early age in order to grow up in another town hundreds of miles away.
