Is it safe to come out yet?!

Do you wake up some days feeling like life would be a whole lot simpler if we destroyed all our devices/social media, and had a significantly smaller amount of people in our life?! Maybe even going as far as throwing out all material possessions and buying a campervan or boat to live in? (a nice one with […]

Dear 32year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 32ND YEAR 👩🏼‍💻 Moving in with Lils is a good arrangement for now – she gets her favourite carer, you get a roof over your head. Living back in Surbiton is as wholesome as it is bizarre! 🏡 Lils deteriorates and is soon moving in with Mads. You make it your job […]

Dear 31year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 31ST YEAR 💔 These last few months on ships really have been nothing less than an epic adventure – landing some of the best itineraries in 2x 7month contracts!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 28TH YEAR 📉 This is one of those ‘hallmark’ years Ames – one with all the feelings… You started it engaged. You ended it – well, ummm – single. Didn’t see that coming. Turns out things can change fast when they’re meant to 😵‍💫 🎓 I guess the future learning is that […]

Dear 27year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 27TH YEAR 🏡 Not letting up on life-rollercoaster riding then Ames?! 🎢 18months in to a whirlwind romance, you’re taking a very grown up step and buying your first house. In purely practical terms – it makes total sense. Albeit your understading of the word “mortgage” right now would be hazarding a […]

Dear 26year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 26TH YEAR 💋🍭 In the words of @katyperry (future bestie and life mentor), this year was definitely “never the way I planned” following a plan for a ‘year’ of travel.

Dear 25year old Ames!

LESSONS FROM YOUR 25TH YEAR ✈️🌏 From limited photos to having this ‘Bookface’ website thing to document every breath during a somewhat monumental year… 🤪 🎓 Thinking ‘X’ pounds was enough to survive a year was a little naive – yay for access to further 0% credit cards in the UK. But everything for a […]
