Letting go. As spring starts to dawn on us and wit Letting go. As spring starts to dawn on us and with 2020 put behind us, I think either now or over the past few months there has been a lot to let go of in our lives. This week, it's been my hair. But its so much more than that. As we've reflected on how the past year has affected us, we can almost say we've come out as new people, and there's so much to let go of as we enter this new era.

Waving from Namibia! 👋🏻🌊 I hope everyone Waving from Namibia! 👋🏻🌊
I hope everyone has had a chance to either catch up on work, relax or recharge. Now we take on the rest of the semester! 

This semester I have made peace with the fact that I will spend my whole second year at Edinburgh University not in Edinburgh, but in my hometown Swakopmund, Namibia. What a weird year!! Even though things are still crazy I want to remind you all and myself that we are doings our bests and that is all that matters!

Living alone can feel lonely at times and so I oft Living alone can feel lonely at times and so I often spend time doing things to occupy myself. I love (and I mean love) nature so I take walks whenever the urge strikes (highly recommended). I often take more pictures of the world around me than of anything else. What better day to share with you two photos I love that remind me of cherished times?

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you found someone/ something that made you smile today.
