Letter 140 After 3 years of extremely hard work, late nights, frustrated days, difficult critiques and countless models, drawings and essays, I am finished. 3 years went in a flash and I cannot believe I am now graduating from the University of Edinburgh with an Undergraduate Degree in Architecture. As I left the studio with … Continue reading Completing My Architecture Degree
Letter 133 "Why do you travel?" The ominous question that is repeatedly greeted with silence because there are no answers. It's an addiction. Can we remove the negative connotations of 'addiction' for the 2 minutes you spend reading this letter? I've seen a bad addiction first hand so I know how it can be terrible … Continue reading Addicted to Travel
Letter 132 The sun in shining, the sky is bright blue, the grass is greener and the flowers are blossoming.

Spring is … Continue reading Edinburgh’s transition to Spring
Letter 126 Happiness isn't talked about enough, and right now I'm feeling really happy, so I wanted to write about it.

She titled it "I don't feel like I belong … Continue reading A question of belonging
Letter 111 I'm pretty certain I'm one of the worst bloggers out there. Honestly, I'm not even sure I can call myself a blogger.

Or maybe I just need a … Continue reading Bad at blogging and missing Montenegro
Letter 91 Finally it's over. Months of hard work, weeks of long days and a number of sleepless nights. Architecture is not a healthy subject to choose and this year has been a killer. Despite half loosing my mind at the end and putting in more time and effort than ever before, I feel I … Continue reading Alive again
Letter 80 Let's have a catch up? We're already 6 days into March, which I can barely believe, so I thought I'd do a recap of the last couple of months and talk about what March may have in store. Being at university means I can't travel as much as I'd like to, but I … Continue reading 2 Months, 2 Countries!
Letter 62 What if there was an infinite library containing every book ever written? All of the knowledge ever discovered?
