During day 2 in Barcelona, I got to complete bucket list goal #434 Visit the Castle of Montjuic in Spain . Whilst at the castle I saw the views from the top of the castle which were magnificent. I also saw and felt with my own hands the stone structure which was beautiful in itself. My partner and I picnicked in the central foyer opposite the old well, as well as visited Montjuic's internal cafe, where we ate cold vegan soup (it was supposed to be cold apparently). There was

For the past couple of weeks I've been challenging myself to wake up at around 6am every day. I've been doing this for, not only my bucket list, but also becaise I have realise that I am in fact, very much, a morning person, and am at my optimum productivity early in the morning, all fresh and bright eyed. Benjamin Franklin once said "early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." And so, that is exactly what I've been doing and aiming to achieve.

Day 42 of my 6am/become and early riser challenge, is going pretty God damn well. I will obviously have to admit though, that despite waking up at 6am I do feel like this past week and a half has not been as productive as I'd hoped, I have a lot on my mind, a lot on my plate and that is causing me to become rather lazy and put off a bunch of different things. I am trying my best to stay a float and to keep up with my to-do lists that I set up the nigh before each of my day st

It is officially the halfway point in my 66 day wake up early challenge. And can I say, 6am has become my bestest friend. I honestly feel great waking up this early, it's been tough at times, I've hit a few bumps but it's also been refreshing, renewing, and really freaking productive. My day feels almost never ending, and as though I have loads more time to focus on work, life, love, family, and well, anything. By 8am I tend to have completed my morning routine, had breakfast

It is now day 21 of my 66 day; becoming an early rise challenge. And in all honesty, I feel pretty, god damn, great. The past few days have been a breeze, getting up in the morning. In fact, the past 2 morning I even woke up just before 6 o'clock, naturally. Plus, I'm no longer feeling that midday crash that I was experienced at the start of this challenge, which also feels amazing. One thing that I am absolutely loving about waking up so early in the morning is that I tend t

My trip to barcelona started off with a blast. Georgia and I experienced drinking alcohol on a plan for the first time, and it felt pretty damn good. I wasn't even that scared of our landing, which I usually am, thanks to the wine. Whilst on the plane we even got to meet the pilots and have a little chat with them about what it's like flying a plane. We also got to visit the most famous market in all of Barcelona, La boquaria. After this we were planning on going to a labrynt

It's now been 8 days since I first started off on this journey towards becoming an early riser in order to become more productive, more hard working and to gain extra time in my day. Having had the extra time in the morning I've also been able to work on other habits that I've been wanting to progress on, one of which is reading first thing in the morning. Being able to have that time to sit and just concentrate on what I'm reading and spending a good amount of time doing it.

My first day of the challenge today and we're off to a really good start. So good that I ended up waking at 5:00 am. This was great as I was able to get in an extra hours worth of reading this morning. I started reading Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse last night and I struggled to put it down, then, I was fast sleep by 10:30 pm and before I knew it I was awake and desperate to continue reading, thus I'm not complaining. Furthermore, I found out that I actually ended up needing th

And so, with another week that passes, I am able to tick off yet another number off of my bucket list. This was quite the cute date that Georgia and I went on. With visiting the V&A and then going to The Castle Cinema to watch booksmart. and I can say without a doubt that I highly recommend anyone who reads this to go visit and support this adorable little cinema.

I know I'm a little late with this one... several years behind, to be slightly more accurate. But, I've never really been one for trends. I just wanted to get my story out there, and to hopefully allow it to help support, comfort or inspire those who watch it, to not give up. Life does get better, you just need a new perspective. As cheesy as these words may be, never give up. And as the pigeon in An American Tail (1986) would say: Keep up your courage, don't ever despair, ta
