So, before I started back to school my sister offers me a weekend in Norway and Wow! What a lovely place – visiting the Stave Churches from Viking times, the Fram Museum – which is a must see – you can also see the statues of Roald Amundsen et al. The first explorers to reachContinue reading “Oslo, Tix and Back to School”

Hi – Just to wish everyone who has and is reading my blog a heartfelt Happy New Year to yourself and your loved ones. Yes it is back to halls, rather reluctantly, as I now felt ready for my own space but I do not own a home, so yet again the University has steppedContinue reading “Back to Halls, Preparing for Masters, Ying Yoga and Happy New Years”

So, here’s the thing – I was supposed to go back to my beloved Mexico for a month before Christmas, when the night before the flight I started to feel unwell as I boarded the plane reluctantly, I was facing the onset of flu – not wanting to be walking across New Mexico being illContinue reading “The Universe intervenes, Working hard and Christmas wishes”

In between residences awaiting student accommodation – I find myself in an Air B&B in an inner city area in Derby. And I am humbled, humbled by the charity, smiles and welcome by this multi-cultural area. On route to the gym last night there is the wonderful aroma of curry, an array of herbs andContinue reading “Observations, Work Experience and Presidency of the Society”

So, it’s definitely a Master’s for me. Also got offered a Masters at York University. I received a 2:2 but still offers are coming in, I think that they were impressed that I got up at 3.30am in Mexico to do the interview and I also told them of a performance that I had inContinue reading “Masters awaits, Farewell to Chi Chi and Education for all”

So, before I left Mexico the family took me to the Mangroves. Which is such a beautiful environmental ecosystem located on the southwest section of the Yucatan Peninsula, in Campeche. The below photo shows me jumping in the water with little Noah, the water was so clear that I drank it. I would highly recommendContinue reading “Wow! What a summer and Environmental Politics”

So I have competed the Hudson from Albany to Beacon without even a canoe lesson – without Ninth Wave Global it would’ve been impossible. With constant encouragement and support. Talking to family they say I seem different with an inner peace and calm. To b taken away from the norm and only worry about survivalContinue reading “Hudson completion, family healing and a hidden gem”

Just to let everyone know that I am having the experience of a lifetime never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d do something like this. We’ve crossed the desert in New Mexico- the lava stones and seen some wonderful sights and covered part of Route 66. The sense of community in this partContinue reading “An amazing adventure”

So here’s the thing – I do a 4 flight journey to Campeche, Mexico, one of them being long-long-haul for 10 hours. I arrive exhausted and very late at night. The girl organiser, Yvette, pulls up at the airport with her friend Charlotte, they have just been out. The car is old. We then driveContinue reading “Scared in Mexico and adventure looms”

So, I have an offer. Masters at Derby University in Applied Theatre and Education, I’ve heard the course is amazing. Finally, an offer. My undergraduate degree finishes in 10 days and I can honestly say, the last three years – although at times – testing – they have been the most wonderful of my lifeContinue reading “Masters Opportunity and solo to Mexico”
