Starting a blog is not as complicated as it seems, but most people get stuck because they don’t know which tools they actually need and end up trying too many things at once. This list focuses only on the tools that are genuinely useful when you’re setting up your blog, creating content, staying consistent, and trying to grow it over time. It covers everything from getting your blog online with the right domain and hosting, to finding content ideas using SEO tools, writing and designing your posts, and tracking what’s working. You’ll also find tools that help you stay organized and promote your content so it actually reaches people. You don’t need to use all of these at once, but having the right set of tools makes the process much easier and helps you avoid wasting time figuring things out randomly. This is meant to give you a clear starting point with tools that are practical, beginner-friendly, and actually used while building a blog.

Not all destinations will be glitz and glamour. Some simply do not live up to the hype, and for me, Cancun was one of those. These recommendations are based on places and things I've experienced on my trips to Cancun. I am willing to give it another try and maybe then my view may change but for now here are some of the things i did in my time there and some of the experiences I had (good and the bad).

After going to my first gig at 13 in 2017 I knew instantly it was something I just had to do more. I also have always adored writing. That’s where music journalism comes in. I’ve been writing professionally for nearly two and a half years now, my main profession being music journalism. When I started out, I felt a little lost, it’s daunting starting anything new and the music industry as a whole is huge and a little scary to say the least. Along the way I’ve learnt a lot so here’s some things that have helped me at some point within my journey with a selection of media options (books, videos, websites etc.)

Pai, Thailand. A hippie’s haven. A backpacker’s paradise. A vegan’s bliss. Pai is a gorgeous, sleepy mountain town ~3 hours north of Chiang Mai. Okay, let’s get one thing straight. Pai is not authentic Thailand. Yes, it’s technically in Thailand. Yes, it’s absolutely beautiful up in the mountains. Yes, some Thai people live there. But as anyone who visits sees, it is built for backpackers, for foreigners. I was shocked when I arrived and all the signs were in English lol! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED my weekend there. But it’s not Thai. My friend hit the nail on the head when she compared Pai to an episode of Black Mirror. It is like a utopia, a break from reality. There’s a running joke that people end up staying in Pai much longer than they originally planned. The easy lifestyle pulls you in. If you’re backpacking Southeast Asia, you have to visit Pai. It is a right of passage. One weekend is plenty of time to stay in Pai, but I’m warning you, you will definitely want to stay longer! Keep reading to have as an amazing time as my best friend Sydney and I did!
