I Haven't been Everywhere But It's On My List
Maja, the Travelling Gypsy
The blog is back due to popular demand (yes my momma made me do it).
I’m slightly older, but no wiser, and this time the pressures and constraints of society mean that unless I finally fulfill my dream of marrying a Russian mafioso who will finance my endless world travel, the likelihood of me taking another year off is minimal.
This does not stop me, however, from taking as many mini gypsy breaks as my holiday ration and bank account will let me, and why not share some of my most exciting adventures with my extensive fan base? (And yes by that I mean my mother.)

Easter and the search for flowers
After Iranian New Year, the next set of official lockdown celebrations were the Easter weekends (first the Catholic one and then the Orthodox one). The Catholic one was pretty uneventful, as the only real Catholic in the flat is theoretically Miguel, although if...
Nowruz and the birth of the Triple D
As we settled into our lockdown lives, I realised that, while fun, binge watching Netflix every day was not going to be a very healthy approach to lockdown. We had to be creative and bring some alternative new ways to have fun into our lives. One of our greatest...
Neftlix and chilling – addendum
Ok I have a couple of addenda to my previous blog about Netflix due to readership feedback. Firstly, as my friend Andrej rightly pointed out, amongst all the shitty murder shows and reality Tv launched on Netflix, there has been one show which is amazing and has me as...
