Hey guys, welcome to my blog. I started this blog in 2018 when I moved to London as somewhat of a diary documenting my experiences. It was one of the only platforms I was able to write freely without the bounds of guidelines. I hope you enjoy xo Lisa

• London Life: Why reading the paper is Fundamental to NewbiesJuly 15, 2018
  13.07.18 Only in London can a Trump visit majorly interrupt your day. So I am three months into living in this illustrious city and my days are longer and nights are shorter. It is my third month of joining the army of Wimbledon local’s stomping the concrete to the district line (local train) at 7.45am.… Read more: London Life: Why reading the paper is Fundamental to Newbies
• Yesterday I turned up for work and got fired: A quick story from an Ex Restaurant HostessSeptember 20, 2018
  There are some moments in life when you just know that you are reaching the end of a specific stage. You have exhausted all avenues, ran in a relentless tirade of circles and reached the stage where you can no longer do the same thing anymore and you move onto something new. Then there are… Read more: Yesterday I turned up for work and got fired: A quick story from an Ex Restaurant Hostess
• London: The fight for a piece of the pieSeptember 21, 2018
  We all know that in the capital, life is bigger, louder and schedules, are tighter. That being said, there is a majorly naive presumption that there is more opportunity. There is no wonder that there are so many people flocking here to get a piece of that heavily carbed capitalist pie – that is London… Read more: London: The fight for a piece of the pie
• Game of Thrones: The Commuter EditionOctober 19, 2018
  DISCLAIMER: Despite the title, this article is not a direct reference to the TV programme. 07:45am It all starts one step behind the yellow line – literally a line between you and accidental death by tube. The doors slide open, and frantically the commuters burst onto the train, darting crazily into different directions. The grey… Read more: Game of Thrones: The Commuter Edition
• The Office Meeting – Time to call your bluffNovember 15, 2018
  It’s 09:30am. The tension is unbearably thick. Accusing eyes scan the room. The boss – the conductor to this orchestra, basques in the awkward silence he has created by his mere presence in the room. He smiles smugly and takes a sip of his steamy beverage. Nothing goes ahead without him and he knows it.… Read more: The Office Meeting – Time to call your bluff
• THE STUDENT CON GAMEFebruary 24, 2019
  The deftly tones of the grand organ drown the theatre in a tribunal concerto. The atmosphere is palpable.

• The ‘personal data’ illusion: time to opt outJuly 28, 2019
  The data century is upon us. Modern technology is now a natural part of our daily lives. We are now reliant on our devices as a primary source of information, with one in five adults spending as much as 40 hours a week on the internet. Every second we spend plugged into this hypothetical digital… Read more: The ‘personal data’ illusion: time to opt out
• The Bridge of horrorsOctober 3, 2019
  Towering skyscrapers surround the Waterloo bridge with beaming rays of iridescent lights. After midnight, the buildings take centre stage; morphing themselves into a dazzling spectacle of shiny glass cylinders. Just imagine the sight of multiple buildings emerging from the depths of the concrete and illuminating off the dark waters. With the backdrop of the velvet… Read more: The Bridge of horrors
• A London State Of Mind: Mask MandatoryDecember 4, 2019
  This city has always been such a fake concept to me. Like a simulation of a mad scientists dream of dropping millions of people from different tribes onto one fragment of a small island. Selling them a dream, that any opportunity on this island will make them wealthy enough to live like a king. People… Read more: A London State Of Mind: Mask Mandatory
• Welcome to the New AgeFebruary 14, 2021
  The biggest understatement of the century has to be this all knowing phrase, ‘the world is changing’. If you didn’t believe it now, the past five years should have shown you that’s exactly what is happening. Change. Everything you thought you knew is being dismantled before your very eyes. Questioning what you believe and know… Read more: Welcome to the New Age
• Profit over lives: Travis Scott AstroworldNovember 9, 2021
  It was this exact video that made me realise that something about this concert was very wrong. In fact there are many videos on Youtube from fans who you can see were visibly concerned, climbing their way up to the cameramen recording the infamous Astroworld concert, shouting that people have died in the crowd. Now,… Read more: Profit over lives: Travis Scott Astroworld
• The Freedom PackageFebruary 28, 2022
  If I offered you a freedom package which would require you to sacrifice your happiness and livelihood, would you take it? What about a 10 year marriage, with endless financial stability, but no emotional fulfilment? Or a jet setting career which would cost you your marriage and the love of your children? Would you take… Read more: The Freedom Package
• A Free WomanMarch 8, 2022
  “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you”. Maya Angelou What a wise, wise woman. A woman who lived her life unapologetically. A woman who lived her own truth. A woman who had the power to stand alone and in turn, impact the world. A strong woman, whose soul had… Read more: A Free Woman
• The Art of letting goSeptember 27, 2022
  What are you holding onto? A question which lead me down a path I didn’t anticipate. This whole idea of holding on really does have its down sides. I’ve met some great people in my life. Some, I know will be around for a lifetime, some, I know are seasonal. Every person who has crossed… Read more: The Art of letting go
• Unschooling the WestOctober 2, 2022
  In schools nowadays, even airing a view which could be in direct opposition to the majority, may leave you in detention, or labelled problematic….and yes, this was my experience.
