When I first started blogging it was more like having a diary. I shared about the different trips that I did and posted a ton of grainy iPhone photos. I still like to write stories about my travels, obviously, but I also mix it up with destination guides and general travel tips, in response to being asked how to do things!
I travelled a lot before I started blogging, so things here most definitely aren’t in chronological order. Which brings me to the Monthly Thoughts…
Migrating Miss Monthly Thoughts are a chance for me to keep a diary of where I’ve been that month and what’s happening in my world of expat life and blogging!
See: Where I’ve Been
They’re mixed in with other destination posts, so here’s the archive in reverse order!
