Adventures and reflections on those adventures, be they travel or literary, with a few creative writing pieces thrown in to boot. Started this blog in 2010 (I was 14) and deliberately keep the old posts because there's something heartwarming about watching the evolution. TO CALCULATE AGE/MATURITY AT WRITING: add 5 to the last 2 digits of the year (ie. In 2014, I was 19).
