Back to basics

I love blogging and sharing creative content yet keeping up a high standard on your output and blogging to a fully (semi) professional capacity is very time consuming. Time that I currently don't have and so I have decided its time to down size my creative project and go back to basics. 

Just before I moved to London I started a blog to document my new and exciting life abroad. It was fun (a lot less blogs back in those days) and I could blog whenever I liked and had time for it without much thought on the business side of things like (the pressure of) becoming an influencer for example. 

Five years later I still feel the same. I would much rather have a small blog to start with (and if it grows it grows) rather than putting pressure on myself to create content in a certain style that I have yet to discover for myself. 

Most importantly I'm still blogging for myself. I love to have and capture these unique moments of my life living abroad when everything is new and exciting. If it is helpful to any of you thats great! 

Since the day I started that first blog I have not only have a gotten a means of expressing my creativity but found myself a hobby thats exciting and possibly even stumbled upon a whole new career path for the future. Oh boy is there a lot to learn! Html and coding, writing, editing, photography, marketing, social media, brand collaborations, building a brand and the list goes on together with keeping the threads organized behind the scenes and scouting locations, having a personal photographer together with hiring an assistant (if i was meant to do this full-time). 

I have decided to focus my efforts elsewhere and for now blogging remains just a hobby. 

I'm so glad I have found a blogging platform that works for me and i'll be sharing more of my everyday life from now on over at nouw. Once that site is all ready to go I'll come back and link it for you in case you would like to follow my journey there. 

Thanks for reading!
