I absolutely love travelling, seeing the world, experiencing and learning from different people and cultures. It’s a passion that I hold dear to my heart, and I aim to visit all 195 countries before I join the gig in the sky. However, this piece brings me a bit closer to home as I talk about...

It was like being diagnosed all.over.again. Early March this year there I was again, hobbling into neurology, for what had started to become a monthly visit for one reason or another. Only now, I was heavily reliant on 2 crutches, in the space of a year I had gone from nothing, to a walking to... Continue Reading →
Wednesday February 13th 2013 . The day before my 25th birthday. 'You have Multiple Sclerosis'. Happy Birthday.
