-          Where do you find inspiration? ( It can be a person or something else you do)

I find inspiration from travelling, I love visiting new places and taking in how life works in different environments.

Despite things being tough for me this year, I take each day as it comes…I’ve really had to be patient with myself, I’ve really had to work on telling myself that despite things not going the way we wish them to go, there is always a reason for everything and it is important to treasure the good times and the bad times we may face in our life. It’s not the easiest thing to do but I just take it one day at a time.
