One Satisfying Day
What makes a satisfying day? For different people, and on different days, this will be a different thing. This is wonderful! It means that many things can make a satisfying day.

To Jamaica, With Love
The definition of homesickness? I used to think it was a joke. Homesickness never really applied to me. I’ve lived in England for as long as I could remember. I can still see the day when the first wave of Homesickness hit me. It was in July last year, when I went to Italy with my big sister. It was the strangest feeling. I’ve only ever left England once since moving there, but I never missed it then. I have always prided myself on my resilience to bounce back from things and never let them keep me down. So while I was missing England on my first night in Italy, the next day I was fine, and my sister and I went exploring. When we came back to England I thought this…for the first time in my life, “It’s good to be home.” Only, England wasn’t my home. Not in the general sense anyway.

A Day in the Life of an ESL Teacher in Central Vietnam
Saturday. 7 am. I wake up after a humid night in tropical Da Nang. The air-conditioner turned off during the night so I am covered in sweat.

Get Your Kicks
At the end of a long highway stands a sign that reads “Santa Monica Pier”, welcoming visitors to the unique beauty of California’s beaches. Dotted with the stunning stretches of white sand, contrasted by the green and brown of rocky cliffs, the dramatic terrain is interrupted by precariously perched houses, scratching out a piece of sky and coastline to call their own.

There Is Nothing Like A Long Drive Alone
On a daily, I take an Uber back and forth to campus. Although, it would be better if I had my car. Still, I make the most of what I can afford now. Uber drives are fairly enjoyable, especially with drivers who follow these characteristics if you have social anxiety, are an introvert, or prefer a peaceful drive: doesn't talk at all and understands the instructions. When drivers don't speak aside from "Hello" and "Enjoy your day", I can live in my head for the moment as my favorite song plays in the background from my headphone speakers. The only downside is that I have to keep the volume significantly low if the driver has inquiries about the dropoff location or takes a detour. When the Uber driver understands the assignment, it makes the drive ten times enjoyable.

The Long Walk
The Long Walk... So we eventually get on the T5 Bus to Cardigan, some of the team have a bit of a doze. The weather is quite hot, around 26 Deg C. and I must admit that during the first part of the walk to New Quay, Ray's Chilli oil from last night was having a detrimental affect in the nether region, add to that every Gentleman walker's nightmare, chafed inner thighs - commonly referred to as Betty Swollox in the Officer's Mess, so that said, I wasnt particularly looking forward to the next leg. We get off the bus in the town centre and the first thing we do is try to find a shop to stock up on "provisions" for the evening ahead. Ray & Ian went for the sensible route of buying 2 cans of cider each. Grant goes for the 8 cans of Redstripe and I went for 4 cans of Redstripe & a bottle of Vino Collapso. This in retrospect was a big mistake on mine & Grant's behalf as it just added to the weight of the already heavy rucksacks. I was then in need of Sudocrem for the above mentioned ailments and managed to find them at the local chemist. Once again it was then decided to find a pub.

From Golden State to Georgia Peach; Part One
Moving cross country for the second time. Not sure if this one counts the same as the last because 1. It wasn't technically all the way across, it was halfway the first time (Iowa to California) and 2. I was only 17 and I was looking forward to it.

A Storm Blew Up My Birthday Plans, But It Turned Out To Be A Perfect Day
On July 4th, I wanted to make a day trip with my wife and some friends to Helgoland's island in the North Sea. The trip had been planned for months. We had booked the crossing and already reserved seats in a restaurant on the island.
