27 Years Old

From the 23rd June 2025 to 23rd June 2026.

I’ve been spending less time in England during the summers as of late, so I went back to my roots and spent more time in and around London, with the occasional camping trip. I love England in the summer and would rather spend time escaping it during the winters!

I’ve been upping the distance I cycle, with the occasional commute to and from London in nice weather, which I’ve absolutely loved getting back to. Some time exploring Poland with Filip (who had left the UK) was a highlight of the late summer. On the topic of friends leaving, Majuran, Caitlin and Raph later followed suit - seeking new experiences or their own brexit!

Housework continued, with some rip outs from the garden, a new bathroom/carpet and using up some excess flooring at the parent’s house!

AI has been a big influence this year - it’s been a love-fear relationship but I’m back into my high learning curve era, which I’ve been thoroughly enjoying! Not all things were hunky dory with the day-job and from November I had been looking to move on/receiving compelling offers elsewhere - should have done this sooner but I had been in a lower-risk mindset - something to leave behind for the future! I’m diving into this new year with some new faces, and a proper, exciting challenge ahead!

Trips round central Europe with Raphael, Istanbul, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing and Wuhan with Feiyang, California with Konrad and Elisabeth and my first time Skiing! Happy I was attacking red routes by the end of it, but not everyone on our trip was so lucky 😬.

As I enter into my proper late-20s era I’m looking forward to focusing on maximising risk and seeking exciting adventures again. It’s been fun renovating the house but that project is nearly over (garden permitting), so my focus is turning back to a larger “misogi” for this year.
