Social media can be fickle. And so much of what we consume is connected to just a handful of companies (Meta, I’m looking at you!), so it’s important we don’t put all our eggs in one basket. Buuuut social media IS a great way of being social (surprise surprise) and one way to get our blog content out there into the world.

For my birthday in 2025, my friend planned a secret outing. But like most ‘secrets’ that she tries to plan, I can usually figure out about 80% of the plan without her saying much at all.

Not gonna lie to you: when Threads was launched in July 2023, I was on it in a flash! I’m not usually one to jump on new social media platforms without waiting it out a little but I think because I was long done with Twitter/X/whatever they’re calling it these days, I was excited about an alternative.

One of the things I was really looking forward to when we were on our Contiki trip gallivanting around Europe was visiting Venice in Italy. I feel like for the majority of my life I’ve thought (and let’s be honest, said out loud on numerous occasions), “I want to visit Venice before it sinks”. Anyone else say that?

Over the course of my 5-week Contiki around Europe in 2024, I discovered that I actually really enjoy walking tours.
