Sunday Reflections | Comfort Zone ✨

This week has honestly felt like two completely different experiences in one.

At the start of the week, I was exploring a new country I’d been really excited to visit... but if I’m honest? I hated it.

Everything felt unfamiliar, overwhelming, and unsafe, and instead of feeling inspired, I just found myself counting down the time until | could get back home to Thailand.

I think solo travel can sometimes be romanticised online, but the reality is that not every place is going to feel aligned and that’s okay. Sometimes a trip teaches you what doesn’t feel right just as much as what does.

On the other hand, I’ve just had my first proper weekend with no work in a long time and honestly... bliss.

I’ve spent time catching up on life admin I’d been avoiding, slowing down a bit, and letting myself breathe again instead of constantly running around.

And tomorrow I start my new job.

I know the adjustment period will probably be challenging at first, but deep down I feel excited.

Excited for more routine, more structure, and for a version of life that feels a little more grounded, authentic and aligned with who I actually am.

I think this week reminded me that growth doesn’t always feel exciting in the moment.

Sometimes it feels uncomfortable, emotional, or disappointing first... before it starts to make sense later.

Here’s to early mornings, fresh starts, and building a life that actually feels good to live ✨

Leaving Thailand for a visa run.

When your work permit is cancelled in Thailand, you have to physically leave the country before you can re-enter as a tourist and start the visa process again.

If you’re researching how to live and work in Thailand as a British expat, or planning to teach English in Thailand, the visa run is a very real part of the process.

It’s not complicated, but it’s worth knowing about before you visit.

Sunday Reflections | New Beginnings ✨

This week has felt like the end of one chapter and the very beginning of another.

It was my final week at my job, and saying goodbye to the students was harder than I expected. They genuinely made the long days and unsociable hours so much easier, and I’m grateful for the opportunity I had in getting to know them.

At the same time, there’s a huge sense of relief knowing that I’m stepping away from a routine that no longer aligns with the life I want.

I think I underestimated how emotional big transitions can feel - excitement and overwhelm seem to be arriving hand in hand lately.

I’ve also ticked off a new country this week And honestly? It’s overwhelmed me even more.

New streets, new systems, unfamiliar routines... it’s that strange mix of discomfort and excitement that comes with solo female travel.

But underneath the overwhelm, I know this is growth.

And despite all the uncertainty, I’m excited for a fresh start and everything this next chapter could become ✨

My last day at my job & I’m leaving with mixed emotions.

9 months of 9pm finishes and evenings & weekends that weren’t mine.

If you’re researching teaching English in Thailand or trying to decide between a language centre and a school role - the schedule changes everything. I chose the wrong one first. I won’t make that mistake again.

Looking forward to my new role. Early starts. Evenings and weekends back.

A new chapter of expat life in Bangkok starts now.

I see more monitor lizards than I do cats and dogs 😅

The monitor lizards are part of daily life here in Thailand 🇹🇭

Always keep your eyes peeled because you never know where the next one is lurking 👀
