Sun Pier House Tearooms | A vegan guide to Medway

Tea and cake at Sun Pier House Tearooms

Anyone who has followed me on social media for any length of time knows that I'm a massive fan of Sun Pier House Tearooms in Chatham. I wouldn't be surprised if the staff are sick of me by now! But there are good reasons why this cafe is my favourite in all of Medway.

Berlin | The most vegan city in the world?


Vegan currywurst at Curry At The Wall

In June, my partner and I went on our first holiday abroad together. Our destination was Germany, specifically Berlin then Köln. We partially chose Germany because we had heard so many good things about the availability of vegan options in major cities (although Paramore touring also contributed to our choice!) so I decided to share my thoughts on this topic.

Tips for commuting students | University advice



Commuting to school or university is something a lot of people do, especially here in the UK, but I rarely see blogs or YouTube videos discussing it. I thought I'd combat this shortage by writing an advice post for commuting students! While my placement is a 5 minute drive away, my university is substantially further than that (think about an hour of travelling each way) so I have plenty of experience dealing with commuting. Here are some of the tips I wanted to share.

Ecoffee Cup travel mug | Back to uni essential!


A travel mug is undoubtedly a back-to-uni essential, but I commute to campus which makes it even more important! I was given a free travel mug at Freshers’ Fair last year; it was okay, but not amazing. It did the job, but the lid didn’t seal shut so there were multiple times I ran for the train and spilt half of my drink. I decided that since second year is where you get serious (and need three times more coffee), I’d allow myself to buy a new one.
