Picture this, you’re freaking out as your dissertation is due marking the end of university days. The ripest of your class have secured graduate programmes, while you face the prospect of returning to your mindless receptionist job. That was me. At the time, I was faced with crippling fear and anxiety over being left behind while my peers started kick-ass…
For someone who receives the minimum holiday allowance, my time away becomes precious and both my travel companion and I are in agreement that making an itinerary ensure we’ll experience as much as possible.

June 3rd sees the start of Love Island. Whilst everyone is eagerly anticipating who this year's contestants are going to be for the next 8 weeks, I do have a confession to make - I bloody hate the show! I have tried to watch it once before - I'm not like one of those kids who won't try a kiwi…
