About
Who r u?
Hi, I’m Claire, a 24 yo overthinker currently just about managing to be based in Hackney, London. I recently returned from 4 years in Scotland where I studied Art History and Philosophy.
In the words of Phoebe Buffay, ‘I don’t even have a pla-‘, but I’m figuring it out one publicly-documented mare at a time through adventure, disaster, and ‘freelance content production’ (*nod along*). When I’m not getting rejected by Christmas elf recruiters or mourning my maintenance loan, I’m taking some Art & Design courses, learning French and German, and trying to recover from everything that has ever happened.
I like to travel and write and read and attempt to do creative stuff. I am bad at most of these things and that’s what makes joining along for the ride worthwhile: this is one space online where comparing yourself to a blogger might improve your self-esteem! I care v much about plants and animals (humans too, kind of) and tend to overshare on all things personal, most frequently: my critically-endangered dating life, solo global misadventures, and long-lasting love affair with sweet, sweet caffeine.
On that note, I’m a chronic insomniac, which I refuse to accept is related. It’s probably a symptom of some larger problem, but since I’m yet to receive a web-diagnosis I really vibe with, I, for now, self-identify as fine. My mind can overflow sometimes with thoughts, feels, and mems I need a space to spill, and, lo: welcome (I’m sorry) to my blog.
What r this?
This is my blog, which had a golden age before deadlines ruined my life. Gd times. It’s the digital version of a column I used to write, on: me, my experiences, and the musings that keep me up at night.
Its evolved into a site along the lines of Personal Memoir with a pinch of Travel plus less-than-luxury Lifestyle, whilst hopefully upholding my original quest to be down-to-earth, genuine, and fomo-free online.

Why the bear?
That’s Burgundy, who I rescued from a skip in 2015. Disgusting, I know. Who would put her in a skip?!

Yup. Small but ubiquitous. Head over to Work With Me for other projects I’m involved in, or get in touch.

Instagram Stories
You might have noticed me going on about Insta stories, which is a kinda weird thing to go on about. Basically, this is where I share every detail of my life, and people tend to laugh at me.
Probs a bit of a marmite thing but I have had some v kind reviews. Pls gimmee a follow if your feed needs a touch more honesty, oddness, and unfiltered failure.
