In case the title didn't give it away, this post concerns a topic very close to my heart - NOODLES. The latest addition to the Ormeau Road's eclectic selection of eating establishments is Bia Rebel, Northern Ireland's first ramen noodle shop. I'll be honest, I'm not particularly refined in my...
Back in January I was reading through Vulture's list of 2018 podcasts. I came across "West Cork" - an Audible original series, and was immediately intrigued. One problem though, I had to wait until February to listen to it. West Cork delves into the past and investigates the murder of...
Oh, hey, hi, remember me? I took a bit of an unintentional hiatus there, whoops. Between the dark nights, getting the flu and generally feeling like I couldn't step foot outside due to snow warnings, about 80% of my free time in January is a big blur of Netflix and...

I've never really given social media detoxing much thought. It's something I've seen lots of people posting about online, ironically, but I never felt particularly bothered about it myself. Going offline for X amount of days just seemed...
Belfast is home to a lot of striking architecture. Queen's University, The Opera House, and Linen Hall Library - to name an obvious few. Less obvious remnants of the city's past can also easily be spotted on a stroll through the city centre. All you need to do is...
2017 has been the year I finally got round to seeing some of the parts of England I've had on my bucket list for years - Leeds, York, Bronte Country, and Manchester. A spontaneous city break last weekend marked an unexpected extra city to tick off the list -...
