Getting around in Malta

This Mediterranean Island is the ideal getaway for many, but getting from A to B can be so tricky you might want to pull your hair out. Nothing gets me in the feels more than feeling stranded in a foreign land, without the information I need to help myself. I have lived in Malta for a year now and have learnt a few things, so do not despair, I am happy to share! 1. At the airport If you have nothing arranged prior, take the white cabs at the exit itself. There is a taxi stand just outside arrivals, with…

Heading to the Motherland

This month I’m back in Uganda, to pick up from where I left teaching clinical pharmacy to 3rd and 4th year university pharmacy students. This is what I was doing before I left for Malta to do my doctorate, and I love this work so I’m back doing it before the summer recess ends and I have to return to being a student myself, doctoral research and all. After this I’ll be heading back to the Mediterranean yet again. ———————— I took this picture in the Duty Free section at the airport, I could wander in Duty Free forever, so…

Savour every moment

– At the Louvre, Paris. It was a cold, windy day but with Paris at our fingertips, there was no letting the weather keep us from taking it all in. Savour every moment you’re given, live every day to its fullest. Life is a series of short moments like now, how we use them is what adds up to what we call our lives.

29 reasons I’ll never be stick thin

Reason 1 major: the love of all things sweet. This, this, this! I can never resist a sweet treat, in fact this may be one of the more compelling reasons that gets me exercising. Just so I can keep saying ‘yes’ to more sweet things without having my waist line getting out of line! This here in this picture was a lovely desert I shared with the boyfriend on a certain weekend in Sotra, Norway. Not only is sharing caring, but calories shared don’t count – right?

Soul food. And being happy

A weekend in Sotra. Because soul food.  Try daily to do something you enjoy. A good book, good food, an expertly brewed cup of world class chai, a healthy dose of laughter, a heart to heart with a dear one – or even a stranger, a walk about a trail that calls to mind happy memories, a good jog or an intense work out, whatever makes your heart glow! In short, make a happy life. Now, starting with the daily stuff. The grand schemes will fall into place. Until they come along, make making yourself a daily dose of happy…

Sightseeing – Spring in Stockholm

  Stockholm is a beautiful city all year round. As long as you remember to keep warm when the low temperatures set in, that is. I visited Stockholm for the first time in February, then again in March and I have many beautiful memories of this history rich city. Thankfully, we didn’t have to worry about accommodation so we could spend that money on more important things. Like fabulous dining experiences! Hello Erik’s Gondolen!     Apparently entry to many Stockholm museums is now free! My favourite price! This is a move by the government in a move to promote…
