Where to even start? I’ve put off writing this recap post. And like last month, I would 110% skipped doing it this time apart for the reason that I’ve been writing these monthly recaps for 3 years, and I don’t want to miss out on one. This month, and particularly the last few weeks, have… Read More September 2020 Recap

August turned out to be a very difficult but surprising month. I’ve had so many adventures in August around Yorkshire and Wales and Scotland! But it’s been a really tough time. Things are really up in the air with my job now, and I’m unsure what the future will bring. It’s been a stressful few… Read More August 2020 Recap

Well, what a month it’s been! While all of my international trips have been canceled, I’ve done everything I can to enjoy my time on furlough and explore as much of my local area as possible! I’ve done countless daytrips around Yorkshire, been on so many great walks, and had three overnight trips total to… Read More July 2020 Recap

If I could sum up June, it would be all about trying to find a silver lining. This has been my first full month on furlough, so I’m no longer working (but thankfully am still getting the majority of my pay through the government scheme). I have made a huge effort to get out exploring… Read More June 2020 Recap

How do I even start out this monthly recap? I’m nearly a week late but I feel like I should still share one. Everything else from this month shrinks in comparison to the police brutality the world has witnessed in the United States. There is too much to say here, and I feel like it… Read More May 2020 Recap

Well, what a month. What an insane, chaotic, crazy, horrible month. I’ve spent the entire month here in the UK on lockdown. We are only able to leave our house for essential shopping items (aka food, prescriptions, etc), to give essential care to someone else, to go to work if you are classed as a… Read More April 2020 Recap

What a month. Thanks to the current global crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, everything seems to be on hold as most of us are stuck at home. Somehow March is only 31 days but I swear we packed about 2 years into this month! I really struggled with what to write for this… Read More March 2020 Recap

While January seemed to last for literally 100 years, I feel like February was over in the blink of an eye. I spent almost the whole month in York, which is strange because last February was the first month ever that I didn’t leave the city! Here’s what all I got up to in February.… Read More February 2020 Recap

January has been a bit of a whirlwind, but not exactly in the best way. This month is the busiest time of year for me with work, and I’ve only had 4 days off the entire month of January. So this recap will be pretty short, since I honestly didn’t have much time for anything… Read More January 2020 Recap

December has been a very busy month! I had some fantastic walks in between work this month, before jetting off to Rome to spend Christmas there for a week. Then I jumped straight back into work with an insane few days that have completely exhausted me. Here’s what all I got up to in December!… Read More December 2019 Recap

What a month! This has been one of the busiest travel months for me to date. I started the month on a trip to Northern Ireland, had a week in Finland, and managed to squeeze in a visit from a friend and some daytrips as well. Here’s what all I got up to in November!… Read More November 2019 Recap

What a month! I had quite a few fun plans this October that kept me busy. A great weekend trip to the Peak District and a long weekend in Northern Ireland meant that I had a lot of time to explore. Here’s what all I got up to this month! Where I Went York, Bakewell,… Read More October 2019 Recap

September has been a really nice and relaxed month. The month started by finishing up a fantastic two-week trip to the Balkans! I also had a fantastic weekend away in the Lake District for my birthday. Here’s what all I got up to in September! Where I Went Kranj (Slovenia) York, Kirkstone Pass, Great Langdale,… Read More September 2019 Recap

What a month! This has definitely been one of my busiest months to date. The first two weeks were spent in the UK, with quite a few mini-trips. The last two weeks were spent traveling around the Balkans! Here’s everything I got up to this August. Where I Went York, Eden Camp, Ness, Pen-y-Pass, Snowdon,… Read More August 2019 Recap

July has been a bit of a whirlwind. Despite spending all of the month in the UK, I have been busy! A trip to Edinburgh, a trip to Nottingham, and a few daytrips meant that I didn’t spend very much time at home in York. Here’s what all I got up to this month! Where… Read More July 2019 Recap

What a month! My parents spent about 2.5 weeks in the UK this June and I had so much fun getting to see them and show them some of my favorite places. This was the real highlight of my month (and of the year!) and we did so much! I can’t say enough how much… Read More June 2019 Recap

What a month… May has been another crazy busy and stressful month. I had a friend come visit York, which was fantastic! And then I succumbed to several weeks of stress and anxiety as I renewed my UK visa. Then I took off at the end of the month for a roadtrip to Scotland, where… Read More May 2019 Recap
