I wanted to write this post before the end of 2012 but having a stomach bug but a damper on that idea, so I’m writing it now (this post was also going to be my goals for 2013 but the post got too long – that post will follow. 🙂 ) I’ve seen a few of my friends blogs review their past year categorised by month and decided to steal…

Cologne and the Rise N’ Shine Convention Germany
If you’re a long time reader you’ll know that I’ve been to a fair few conventions over the years. But never abroad.

Which was not only my first convention abroad but also my first holiday with friends. Cologne itself is a very beautiful…

24 hours in Gdansk and Sopot – Poland
Last month I took my first trip alone, on a plane, to Poland! Honestly, I was really nervous about the trip, having never traveled alone before. But especially because I don’t know much of the language (other than hello and goodbye), although Artur assured me most people would understand what I said if I spoke to them in English and, most did, though it took a few attempts. We had…
