Would you like to share your favorite travel destination? For me, the most unforgettable place I have ever been to is the Potala Palace in Tibet, China. Its grandeur and solemnity left me in awe.   But as an international student studying in the UK, I always miss my hometown, Suzhou, and would like to invite you to visit it in the future. In this blog, I will recommend some of the best places to visit.   Video from Youtober @andyto:     Suzhou is situated in the middle of the Yangtze River Delta and the southeast of Jiangsu Province. It shares borders with Zhejiang to the ..read more

Top 10 Cities in Europe to Visit this Summer By Brendan Papp Sports Writer    Since I graduated from an American high school back in 2021 and started uni a year later, I had an entire year to do whatever I wanted. So, I saved up and spent three months going around Europe by myself. I spent it exploring and making friends in pretty much every city I went to. I visited over 60 cities in 14 different countries and travelled over 9000 kilometres, and because of that, I would love to call myself now somewhat a master at travelling Europe. For everyone planning a summer holiday, I’ve rank ..read more

Hair is beauty Two-Women-with-Different-Hair-Types-e1615471480329-1.jpg   A lot of black women's identity is surrounded by their hair. If you want to go natural then your curls must be “popping”. If you want to wear a wig, then we shouldn’t see the lace. In the hair department, we must be perfect. Allow no room for nappy hair and falling braids. No afro in professional settings and make sure that we can prove to the world that we can grow long hair. My natural hair journey For many of us, the pungent smell of a chemical relaxer will never be foreign, followed by the excitement of ..read more

Last Saturday, I found myself in a precarious position: the strong-willed alpaca I had on a leash was dragging me across the Kentish landscape of Yalding. No, this wasn’t a fever dream. Alpaca walking is the latest creative offering from the forever-innovative well-being industry. This isn’t the first well-being activity to cater for stressed-out animal enthusiasts  (puppy and bunny yoga sessions are indeed real). I was curious to find out if alpaca walking would help to rejuvenate me after a stressful week or was it merely the latest well-being fad?   The session began with our gro ..read more
