Oftentimes I walk up the street and then down the backroads near the stream to get to the big hill. You can see everything nearby from there and there is less light pollution so you can see the stars

My sister lives quite far away, so when she visits we always have a day for ourselves, this time we went to an illusion museum, got some boba and cake then went back home and made some clay animals!!

Wales actually has the most castles per metre than any other country and they are so much fun to visit. The architecture is beautiful, the castle in the picture is literally 2 minutes from my house!

My first solo trip to Spain, I didn’t take enough photos. However, I loved my time there alone, the restaurant owners looked after me and made sure I (as a lone female) got back to my room safely.

Most people from the UK love to sit down and relax with a cup of tea! It’s something I do with my family often. What makes it personal is that everyone has a preference, making their cuppa unique.

I am a novice open water swimmer, having discovered the joy of open water swimming this summer (2023) - it is utterly invigorating, and an opportunity to experience peace and tranquility in nature.

Other than work I come home practise different make up looks in which I’m obsessed with. Some of those looks took me up to 4 hours, I would then take photos and wash it al off straight after lol.

I love going to the Medieval Fayre my town holds every year! They do a range of crafts beers, food, arts and crafts and battle reenactments. I also dress up with my friends in medieval cosplay.

I write original music which I am in the middle of finding out how to upload to streaming platforms. I use a music software called Logic Pro x and pro tools to do this and singing is my passion.

One of our wonderful Lochs, so still and peaceful, just the atmosphere to unwind in on a lovely summers day. I'm lucky to have all this within a 10 minute drive. I hope you like what you see.

A tiny coastal village separated from mainland South Africa by the Groot Brak lagoon, and connected with a bridge. We often played cards with my grandparents or read in the rocking chairs.

When I was little I lived in Belgium, and we started celebrating St Nicholas, which is christmas, but on the 6th December, and once we moved back to England we have kept this tradition going!

I love walking and there is nothing better than having a furry companion when out and about. I live in the countryside and live walking in the beautiful landscapes. Especially in the autum.

Groups of climbers are always looking for a good rock to climb, and this area is one of the most beautiful to climb in the UK. You can even go for a dip in the ocean if conditions are goos!

Liverpool is very proud of the fact the Beatles came from there! You can even visit the Caven Club where they first performed and is a very popular spot for first time Univeristy students.

A little piece of the beach close to where I live. This place is slightly hidden so you have to know where you're going to find it. One of my favourite places because it's always so calm.

Actually a tropical dry forest. This is an amazing place to visit in Colombia! I went there for my birthday in 2022 and it was fascinating. It actually looks better in person than photos!

The river is a nice place to walk along in the summer or to watch the sun go down it’s really aesthetic lol there’s also a mini beach next to it so you can sit and have a picnic there.
