In 2021 I have made a concerted effort to read more - I had so many books on my list but I felt like I was never going to get through them all, so I set aside time every morning to read for as long as I felt like. Some days it was only 20 minutes, others I read for 2...

This is update number 3 and 4 on the residence permit (Spoilet Alert: I got it, but all is not well yet). Slowly but steadily the end of my 3 month tourist visa was approaching and I wasn't going to risk being told some BS again about it "not mattering" and then...

Welcome back to Adulting 101 - where Jess figures out things that everyone else seems to be perfectly capable of doing since... well since forever it seems. This week I'm fixing something that has NEVER been an issue for me until I moved to Albania and that's skincare...

I'm over due an update on my residence permit, which ended up taking almost all of last week to sort out. Before my appointment on Tuesday I was still missing a couple of bits of paper - I still had the police check left to translate, so I made contact with the Expat...

This post is a continuation from the last post I wrote on organising my reading and note taking so that I can at least keep track of the new information I am consuming, the insights I'm getting from it and also make it all searchable at the same time. If you didn't...

One of the things that I love to do and that I fundamentally believe is important for your own development is Reading. The thing that I've also noticed is that I'm not reading as efficiently as I could, so last month I set out to do some research on how to read more...

I am not going to lie to you by saying that last year was amazing and that I've achieved an endless amount of stuff despite all the craziness that happened around all of us. It really wasn't. Neither was the year before that thanks to life coming literally apart at...
