The Chronicles *
A blog for slow living, big feelings, and chronically-ill bodies.
-
From little villages in Ghana to the most beautiful five star hotels in Montenegro- travel adventure stories and tips for every kind of explorer.
-
Fun facts about Ancient Egypt, recent academic articles and all the best things for fellow Egyptology lovers.
-
Musings about living with a chronic illness, practicing art, heartfelt letters, and everything in-between.
For chronically creative souls.
Welcome to The Chronicles — a space where I share what I’ve learned from living in a chronically ill body, and how creativity, curiosity, and slower adventures can still shape a full, adventerous life.
Here you’ll find practical advice on navigating endometriosis and chronic illness, travel tips from some of the most beautiful places I’ve explored (at a slower pace), and creative reflections that make space for low-energy days. I also share the occasional excerpt from my A+ ancient Egypt essays (yes, actually graded), alongside thoughts on history, storytelling, and what ruins, rest, and reinvention can teach us about resilience.
Think of it as trail notes from a chronic body - part guide, part story, part gentle reminder that adventure, creativity, and meaning don’t disappear when life slows down.

“The Contendings Continued” is a creative short story written as part of my mythology course at Auckland University. It was published in Word of Reed, a student journal showcasing the best articles and essays around Egyptian, Greek an Roman ancient history.
