Welcome!

Myself & my beautiful Amanda.

This is my first post on my fourth personal blog, published on the nineteenth day of the first month of the year. I've had a wonderful Christmas & new year with all the family & in just seven days I will be jetting across the world on my very own adventure. I am Laura, an archaeology & anthropology student with only one year of her degree left & I am starting my semester in London, England!

I created this blog in the hope that I can hone my writing & photography skills, & also keep a record of all of the antics I get up to while I am abroad. I will aim to post regular updates & gather the best, worst & most interesting of my experiences for your enjoyment! This is just one of many snippets of my life to come.  I will endeavour to keep you all updated with what I'm reading, who I'm meeting, where I'm visiting & of course what I'm eating. My dear Kayler, recently decided to make the change to vegetarianism, so I will inevitably be posting some of my favourite recipes to help her out!

I haven't started properly packing, nor have I bought any warm clothes...that is Friday's mission. I currently spend my Fridays in nearby, Townsville, volunteering at the Museum of Tropical North Queensland (x/x) with the lovely Larissa Vance ♡ (who will be gallivanting around England herself this August).

I am so thankful for both my home university, James Cook University (x), & my host uni, University of East London (x), for this incredible opportunity!! Also cheers to Mum & Dad for helping me fund my trip. ✈
