  • Back in one of my fave countries 😍 do you have a country you just keep coming back to?
✨
This is my first time in the #Schwarzwald region but I’ve been wanting to visit for ages! Especially since @kolkrabenjan keeps telling me how epic it is 🙄
✨
We flew to Basel early yesterday morning and travelled up to Freiburg im Breisgau by train. We rested for a bit (since we’d been up since 4am 😴) and then went out exploring 😎 we originally wanted to go to Schauinsland since they were having a free ticket day buuuuut we were out of luck because the queue was INSANE and they told us we wouldn’t get there before the last cable cars down 😳 so we opted for not being stuck at the top of a mountain overnight 🤣
✨
Time for an alternative plan 😜 this time we were going to go up a hill. A pretty big hill, actually. Schloßberg, or ‘Castle Hill’, is a hill in the city that used to have a fortress during the 11th to 19th centuries. The Schlossbergbahn takes you the majority of the way up the hill, but if you want the most epic view then continue the walk up to the Panoramaturm (Panorama Tower). It’s pretty steep but it’s totally worth it!
✨
Plus we were rewarded with an incredible sunset 😍😍 check my stories to see how epic the sky was!
✨
Have you been to the Black Forest?

  • Looking far into the distance, searching for a date for Valentine’s Day 🤣
❤️
I’m just kidding, my V Day plans include flying to Basel and heading up to Freiburg im Breisgau and exploring the stunning Schwarzwald region with mi madre 👩‍👧 this will be our first trip abroad with just the two of us - we are leaving dad at home (sorry daddy) since it’s mum’s turn to join me on a press trip 😁 gotta be fair about it, right?? 😜
✨
On another note, I started a new account! Even though Instagram stated they don’t ‘restrict reach’ and so on, my reach has been declining over the past year and it’s heartbreaking when content I’ve worked so hard on bombs and doesn’t get seen by the majority of people who FOLLOW me 😒 so @theflyawaygirltravels has now been born - I’ll be sharing all my fave content from past and current trips so I hope you’ll join me there as well for lots of awesome content from around the world 💃🏻

  • Where have you seen your favourite sunsets? 🌅
✨
Beach sunsets are just seriously magical 😍 although I’m a big fan of a city sunset too 😁 it frustrates me that winter sunsets are often pretty rubbish ☹️ so I can’t wait for warmer weather (or destinations 🤣) to see some more fiery sunsets 🔥
✨
I’m flying to Basel on Thursday with my mum and I can’t wait! We are off to Freiburg im Breisgau to get some snowy photos and see cute towns 💃🏻 spending Valentine’s Day with my main loves, travel and @theflyawaymum 😁😁 what are my fellow singletons doing for the V Day? Let me know!

  • Is anyone else a big podcast fan? 🎧
I only started listening to them a few months ago but now I love them! I started listening to the @freakonomicsradio podcast first because I loved all the books - the podcast is just as awesome. Then I got into some similar ones (other economics one etc) and then branched out a bit into marketing ones and also some ones to help me sleep (woo yeah insomnia 😐).
✨
There are some incredible podcasts out there (and I would LOVE to have my own someday - on this point, tune in to my live this evening with @rouxroamer talking about her process and inspiration for her photography 💃🏻 18:15 London time!) and I love discovering new ones.
✨
My current favourite podcasts are Freakonomics, Part Time Genius @parttimegenius, Lingthusiasm @lingthusiasm, Hashtag Authentic by @me_and_orla and Women Who Travel by @cntraveler ✈️
✨
Do you listen to podcasts? If so, do you have any favourites? 🎧

  • I’m so happy to see you guys supporting (hehe) my #SUPPORTCREATIVE hashtag and idea - so thanks! 💕 I wish that Instagram encouraged creativity more rather than only really promoting content that’s quite similar and ‘trendy’ - I love creative and unique content! Who is your fave creative creator? 💕
✨
Plus I just launched my brand new presets yesterday 😁 head to theflyawaygirl.com/shop to check them out - you’ll find 6 different presets including the one I used to edit shots like this (Summer Warmth) as well as ones I designed for my Amsterdam photos (Reizen) and more! They’re on sale until tomorrow so check them out 😎
✨
This stunning view was what were treated to on our first night in the #Seychelles from our hotel @lm.fishermanscove 😍 I need to go back to somewhere sunny and warm because I am severely missing these palm trees, beaches and stunning sunsets 🌅
✨
Entirely randomly I’m listening to a podcast on linguistics on the train home from York 😁 I’m such a linguistics and language nerd - I love to read up on it in my spare time, from entire books about it to Wikipedia articles 🤣 I can spend an evening ending up down a rabbit hole of Wikipedia pages of language families and the history and development of languages 🤓
📚
I find the concept of Creole really interesting - Seychelles uses the Creole Seychellois (or ‘Kreol’), as well as French and English. It’s impressive that the majority of people are trilingual! Creole or a Creole language is a natural language that develops from mixing different languages (e.g. French and English) and generally has quite simplified grammar compared to its parent languages. Many countries that use a Creole were colonised by another country. People would develop a pidgin language to communicate with others with whom they didn’t have a language in common - it would be a very simplified version of the language because it would be easy for them to learn. A #Creole develops when children learn a pidgin language as their first and native language (‘nativisation’) and the most widely spoken (and best known) Creole is Haitian Creole, based predominantly on French. Ok I’m done 🤓🤣

  • That ‘pretending I’m comfortable on this rock’ look 💁🏻‍♀️
✨
Ok, it wasn’t actually THAT bad but after 10 minutes of sitting and posing it definitely started to be a little... disagreeable 🤣
✨
Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my post yesterday - it was a very personal matter and however much I talk about my mental health it is still daunting to pretty much bare my soul and talk about the worst parts of my life. So thank you for all your kind words! It really means a lot 💕
✨
Also thanks for entertaining my ranting in stories 🤣 it really kills me how Instagram seems to punish creativity and reward only the people who create the classic ‘viral’ content - even I’ve found myself posting insta hotspots in London or Santorini or Paris because I KNOW they will perform well. And there’s nothing wrong with posting what performs well but it’s sad when it starts to suffocate our creative spark because we know it won’t do well on this platform.
✨
So I’ve started a hashtag that I want people creating CREATIVE content to use so we can support each other. I’ve always loved the community of this app and we should have one for those of us who try to follow our creative spark rather than just the insta trends only. So #supportcreative because pouring your heart and soul into creating something you love only to see it bomb on here because it’s not an insta classic is seriously rubbish 😒
✨
Who are your favourite truly creative people on here?

  • Sharing some photos from my trip last year to the Seychelles 💕 looking at these summery, beach-y photos makes me miss the time of year where the days are long, the weather is warm and my back doesn’t hurt from cold and damp weather.
✨
Today is #TimeToTalk Day. I’ve spoken about my mental health on here before but it’s never the wrong time to have a conversation about it 💕 I was talking with @thelovelyescapist yesterday about ‘Instagram vs Reality’ and a post from @alihemsley really made me think about what we put out there, both on our social media and the front we show in real life.
✨
The last few months have been hard for me - I find it much more difficult in the cold and dark winter months and have for a long time. I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety for the past 8 years or so, I was originally diagnosed when I was 15 and it got a lot worse when I started university. So I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t believe everything you say on social media. Don’t think that the life you see on someone’s Instagram is what they really live - what you see on someone’s social media and even what they put forward in real life isn’t necessarily the whole story. Theres a big difference between what you see and what you don’t see - you don’t see my chronic social anxiety that can be debilitating at networking events, my insomnia combined with hypersomnia or my episodes of depression that can last for days or weeks.
✨
Also, if you ever want to talk about anything then I’m always here. Whether it’s just about being down one day about something that has happened or whether it’s about depression, anxiety or any other mental illness - I’m here if you ever need to talk.
✨
So... Don’t suffer in silence. And don’t be afraid to share the ‘reality’ either.

  • Missing my travels right now! I’m super excited to be heading up to York this week with my parents, my first trip since exploring the Netherlands and Belgium at the start of January 💃🏻
✨
I’m also planning a winter getaway trip with my mum for this month - we are still finalising where to go! Currently our top choices include Tallinn, Innsbruck, Basel, Stuttgart and Östersund 🤓 I really wanted to go to Rovaniemi but accommodation is just too expensive right now ☹️
✨
Where do you think we should go? 😁 which would you choose?
