Yesterday cost me less than £20.
By the end of it I’d climbed a volcano, ridden a jeepney, eaten £2 curry, and walked 33,000 steps.

I did not plan the steps. My legs certainly didn’t.

Full chaos here:
Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

New Year’s Eve.
No forced positivity.
No ‘new year new me’ nonsense.
Just a simple promise:
Next year, I’m choosing freedom over fear, truth over comfort, and a life that actually feels like mine.
If you’re on that path too, I’m right there with you.
See you in 2026.
Let’s build something real.

2026 won’t save you. Your decisions will.
December 30, 2025 at 10:02 AM
Imagine starting 2026 with peace instead of pressure.

One decision can improve every part of your life:
Stop tolerating things that drain you.
December 28, 2025 at 10:01 AM
The biggest mindset shift at 50+: You stop caring what other people think, and start caring what you think.

Boxing Day reflection: What did 2024 teach you? What are you refusing to repeat in 2025?

Merry Christmas from someone who finally chose a life that feels like mine.
I hope this year you get more time and more freedom.
December 25, 2025 at 10:01 AM
This Christmas, give yourself permission to start again.

If you don’t feel at home, you’re not obligated to stay.

I didn’t leave the UK for a better country.
I left for a better life.

Your new life won’t start until you stop defending your old one.
December 21, 2025 at 10:01 AM
You don’t owe loyalty to a place or person that drains you.
December 20, 2025 at 10:01 AM
The older I get, the more I realise the UK didn’t only just get expensive… it also just stopped caring.
December 19, 2025 at 10:01 AM
Your 50s can be your most powerful decade - if you stop apologising for wanting change.
December 18, 2025 at 10:01 AM
Most people don’t want to be rich.
They just want to not worry about bills.
December 17, 2025 at 10:01 AM
Freedom isn’t about money.
It’s about getting your time back.
December 16, 2025 at 10:01 AM
The UK pension system wasn’t designed to help you retire.
It was designed to help you wait.
