Having a lot of fun this year exploring the wild ๐ŸŒณ 2020 has been a year of embracing change for me. For about 3 years I was largely living in Sri Lanka, focusing on running my travel blog @styleinsrilanka ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ while Iโ€™m still posting on there, Iโ€™m happily more settled (as much as I dislike the word settled, maybe more on that later ๐Ÿ˜‚) in the UK and have been mulling a shift of content over here. โ€ข What do I love? Exploring outside, historic houses & interesting places, eating in soulful restaurants, cooking soulful food, cosy little villages bursting with character, waking up at dawn to mist rolling on the hills. Decorating our apartment with things I L O V E. Staying in hotels with a conscience, a glass of wine drunk slowly and appreciatively. Kindness, love, authenticity, spirituality. Feeding my body from inside out. Dressing in the way I love to look- for me. Connecting with my creative spirit, having a sense of fun when I donโ€™t need to be serious. โ€ข The first year of my 30โ€™s Iโ€™m feeling so much calmer and at ease with myself. I donโ€™t โ€˜wantโ€™ as much, but thatโ€™s probably because things come more effortlessly. Iโ€™ve realised this is how everything should be. Put love and energy into life without it being all consuming. When I feel a sense of resistance, something needs a rethink. It saves what feels like a world of energy ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŒŽ โ€ข Itโ€™s ironic itโ€™s called the dirty thirties, as I kind of see it as the cleaner thirties ๐Ÿ˜‚

Google maps is such a great resource for staycatio Google maps is such a great resource for staycations in the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง When Iโ€™m staying somewhere I will scout out the area on maps, look up top rated restaurants, shops etc and flag the places I would potentially want to go. It allows the trip to be spontaneous, while being โ€˜presearchedโ€™! Swipe right for my map of Hartley Witney โค๏ธ
