Hello internet world !
Welcome to my blog!
I never thought I would ever be able to have my own website but here I am ! After procrastinating for so long I finally took the plunge.. and making a website definitely sounds harder than it actually is. I am a complete IT novice by the way and I am so glad I gave it a go!
Sometimes you just got to start..and ignore the thoughts of ‘ what if my first post is bad’ (let’s be honest, it will be..)…just try to do a better one next time 😉
I think this summarises my motto in life… give your best and try to be a good person along the way; that’s what I tell myself and my kids all the time.
This sort of lead to my website’s name (that as well took me a while) and I was obviously coming late to the party…’be good’ was taken, ‘be a good one’ was taken, ‘try to be good’ was taken so had to go for ‘try to be a good one’ (it also had to match all my social media channels). Got there in the end. And it may sound sassy or presumptuous but I grew to like it in a way; delivers the message, isn’t it (innit for some). Rest assured that what I would share on this platform will be honest, from experience and be about what hopefully helped and helps me be a better person for myself, my family and my friends ❤️
A bit more about me
I am Caroline by the way and if you have read my ‘about me‘ page you will already know that I have embarked on an journey from a small village in France to the bustling city of London back in 2009 to pursue work opportunities. I’ve since fallen in love with the vibrant energy of this city and made it my home.
In 2014, my life took a beautiful turn when I became a mom, welcoming my precious little one into the world. In 2017, my second child was born to complete our family. Since then, my adventures have been filled with the wonder of seeing the world through my children’s eyes, exploring family-friendly destinations, and creating lasting memories together.
My love for travel has been a constant companion in my life. Whether I’m sipping oat latte in a cozy Parisian café, introducing my children to the wonders of the world, or exploring the cultural melting pot of London, I’m always on the lookout for new horizons to explore. I believe that each new place I visit adds a unique brushstroke to the canvas of our family’s life.
In 2018, I embarked on a transformative journey of a different kind – I embraced a vegan lifestyle. This conscious choice reflects my commitment to health, sustainability and animal welfare, making every new destination I visit an opportunity to explore vegan cuisine and discover how different cultures embrace plant-based living.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to explore diverse corners of the world, from the enchanting landscapes of Europe to the exotic mysteries of Asia and the rich history of Africa, all while sharing these adventures with my children. I thrive on immersing our family in different cultures, savouring local plant-based cuisines, collecting stories and memories along the way.
When I’m not exploring a new destination, you can often find me in London, where I’ve built a life full of vibrant friendships, cultural experiences, and the pursuit of lifelong learning. London’s unique blend of history, art, and diversity has become an integral part of me.
In a nutshell
I’m an avid photographer, a connoisseur of vegan experiences, a sunset admirer, a Christmas lover, definitely a clean/neat freak and a dedicated parent, and I can’t wait to share the world’s wonders with you.
Join me as I continue to explore, learn, and embrace the beauty of our world, one adventure at a time, while seeking a more compassionate and sustainable way of life. Let’s connect, share travel tales, life tips and inspire each other to wander, wonder, and appreciate the diverse tapestry of cultures that make our planet so fascinating.
With love, Caroline 🌱
