About

Hello, I’m Elena

Dear reader, welcome!

I am so glad to see you here. What would you like to know about me? Well, there are lots of different things I could share with you. My name is Elena (however some of you may know me as Ellie). I was born and raised in England, and after months of meticulous planning my partner and I have moved our lives over to the southern hemisphere, during the COVID 19 Pandemic.

Prior to our big move I dedicated four years to further my education taking a degree in Marketing at university. I have been lucky enough to work for two charities in this time.

This blog will be a two year project (initially). Where I will discuss the things that I am doing, projects that I am working in the vegetable garden, kitchen (including dairy-free & vegan recipes, my quest to become healthier), the process of moving from the UK to New Zealand (including visas, putting all of your belongings on a ship and finding somewhere to live) and lifestyle/cultural differences between the countries. In addition to (if global travel becomes a reality again) travel highlights.

I hope that you enjoy reading through my musings, and if you have any comments or would like to contact me please do so: click here to email me.

Be kind, always, to yourself and others.

Elena
