Ancient Mysteries
Troubadours; poets and storytellers of the middle ages. That's what this small black notebook reminded Ben of. Flipping through its weathered parchment pages, the smell of familiarity permeated his nostrils. Deja vu vivified his perception. He stood, rapt in stillness. An image appeared in his mind's eye.
Come to Como
“I can’t write jokes, I am a joke.” She tore another page out of her tiny notebook, crumpled it up, and tossed it in the general direction of the already full bin.

The Joys and Struggles of Moving to London
I am fascinated by the fact that each of us has our town, city or village that they call home, and that place is theirs and only theirs to call it so. Some decide to stay where their roots are bound and live their lives close to normality. Others, like myself, are travellers and move from destination to destination, never really settling down. In the last five years, I have lived in five various locations spanning the length of two countries, England and Portugal. After finishing college in York, UK, studying abroad in Guimaraes, Portugal, and graduating from Manchester, UK, my friends and I decided to move forward together and relocate ourselves and our theatre company to London.

Explore the Beauty of Croatia
Exploring the beauty of Croatia Croatia is one of those countries many travelers don’t put on their bucket list, but it has been high on my list for years. Croatia is located in the Balkans which is in the southeastern part of Europe. The capital of Croatia is Zagreb and the airport there is Franjo Tuđman, which is the country’s largest airport, so this will be how you enter. When you get to Croatia, you will need to find an agency that will provide currency conversion for you. The airport should be able to do this for you. Croatian Kuna is the official currency.

Sunday vibes
Earlier today, I went on a walk up to the Sanctuary. It was nearly 4pm and I hadn't left my apartment other than to step outside to hang up my laundry to dry in the sunshine on this beautiful February day in Calabria. After finishing the left-over homemade pizza, lovingly made by my co-teacher, topped with the special red onions from Tropea, I quickly got myself ready and started my evening passeggiata. The sunshine felt good, but while in the shade of the apartments in the old part of Paola, I regretted my decision to put on my lighter jacket. I decided to go to the Sanctuary because I figured there wouldn't be too many people there, but I soon found out that I was certainly wrong about that. I was surprised to see cars parked in the street leading up to the beautiful and perfectly hidden Sanctuary. I'm just realizing now that the seemingly secretive position of this Sanctuary so perfectly exemplifies the hermetic lifestyle of San Francesco. It's this gorgeous hideaway where the rest of the world seems just out of reach; a particular calm washes over you as you approach these ancient buildings nestled into the hillside. Here, standing above the roaring water of the little river, smelling the distinctive scent of the burning candles with their soot staining the arched ceiling above, seeing the church goers shuffling to the next mass, there is a sense of turbulent tranquility. A calm that allows your mind to consider what it is you're doing here.

'Tripping Through France
France! My arrival by ferry from England as a twelve-year-old tourist is a distant memory. That was my first visit to Europe, touring with my family. Yet, the travels around Paris in the damp springtime and the hospitality showed by an unknown rural family have been persistent memories in the years since.
Naples and Capri
Italy tops many lists for travel destinations. I’ve personally been there twice and can’t wait to return. Although it may be a while before I can visit again, I can still dream about what to do next in this spectacular country.

Still in Spain
Home: a remote village on the Meseta – I never expected that. Mind you, I never expected to walk five hundred miles across the north of Spain either.
