After the horror of leaving my beloved circa-2012 iTouch 5 on a bus in Uganda, it became apparent that I’d have to invest in Apple’s latest model of the product. What a shame. So I decided to review the iPod Touch 6 for you, and let you know whether it’s worth the upgrade.

Day 16-21: Safari and final days in Uganda
So that’s it – after an entire year of preparation, my African adventure is over. The final few days of my trip were the best by far, and I can’t believe how quickly the time went. I felt like I’d only just arrived, but equally I was so used to the lifestyle I felt likeContinue reading “Day 16-21: Safari and final days in Uganda”
Day 9-15: Gorilla trekking across Uganda
The second week of my African adventure has flown by, and I can’t believe the experiences I’ve had in the past few days and that I only have another few left.

Day 0: A new adventure
It’s a bit of a strange feeling. I’m sat here in my room, bag packed, ready to set off on another adventure.

Sian goes to Uganda
This blog post has been brewing for a few months now, and I can’t believe that I’m actually, finally writing it. Suddenly this feels extremely real. So here’s my big announcement: over summer 2015, I am going to Uganda to volunteer with East African Playgrounds (EAP). And I really, really need your help to do this.
A few goodbyes
Over the summer, I made the difficult decision to have to step down from some of my editorial positions before I start my finals this year (tomorrow, actually). I decided that holding six editorial positions was a little too much commitment if I want to do really well in my academic work, so for once,Continue reading “A few goodbyes”
A day in Denmark: Copenhagen
I’ve finally had some time to take in exactly what happened on Wednesday, and now I’ve managed to get my head around it, here’s a quick blog post telling you what I did when I visited Copenhagen in Denmark for one day only.
A week at the Huffington Post
So last week I headed to the Huffington Post for a week of work experience on the Students desk. Having done a fair amount of work experience now, I wasn’t really that nervous for this placement, just looking forward to getting back into the newsroom.
Summer internship: what I have learned
Now I’ve finally completed my internship after eight weeks, I thought that I’d write a short summary of things that I’ve done and learned over the summer. I feel that not only have I added some very valuable assets to my skill set, I have also become a more rounded worker as a result, andContinue reading “Summer internship: what I have learned”
