Last week, Maya and I recorded a podcast episode under this title, and I was inspired to write a blog post along a similar line. With restrictions gradually lifting and the country opening more and more, I thought it might be helpful to read about other people’s experiences with this. Anxiety First and foremost, I’ve … Continue reading Lessons learnt leaving lockdown
Apologies for no blog post las weekend; I'm now back in Edinburgh and have been so busy!

Hopefully, this blog post will give you some inspo to fill … Continue reading current favourites (lockdown edition)
Today's post is pure self-indulgence. As is this blog, to be frank. But I started fruitsandroutes FOUR years ago now, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to reflect on where it's taken me. It's been a wild ride, and I can't believe how much personal growth I've undertaken in that time. Thank you for … Continue reading four years of fruitsandroutes

As semester one draws to a close, I thought I'd reflect on the past three months. They've gone so incredibly quickly and I can't believe that I'll be going home in just over a week.
