A portion of sales will go to organizations which help others settle and find a home, when they are without one.

You may remember I have been working on a startup concept (including a book)* for women since becoming pregnant and having my son abroad in the UK. I was freelancing away, growing a baby and waddling along the streets of North West London, happily posting Instagram snaps of flowers in winter, coloured doorways, cute bikesContinue reading “The reason why I want to empower women”

I’ve been remote working from Europe for the past few years and travelling around, blogging and posting photos to Instagram as I went.
