“I’m off to Kos next week,” I told my friend as we grabbed a coffee at work. “Kos?? Why Kos, surely you want to go to santorini, or Mykonos, or Crete?’ The influence of instagram and tiktok was starting to show. “Whats so great about Kos?” he continued. I laughed, I couldn’t really blame him,…

Ancient Stones, Modern Questions: Visiting Stonehenge in 2025
Despite having been so close to Stonehenge throughout University, I genuinely had never been. I had seen pictures on social media of people going and how much joy and curiosity it filled people up with. However, I genuinely thought ‘cool, rocks, i guess?’ Silly doesn’t even cover half of it.
