Making Connections - Stories about learning, distance, and change

It started with learning Spanish.

Not for a holiday. Not for a career move. Just to cope with life.

What followed was a solo trip to Bogota with no plan. Two weeks alone

in an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. And eleven days locked in a quarantine hotel near Heathrow.

Three journeys. Three very different places. One stubborn attempt to connect.

This is not a travel guide. There are no recommendations, no bucket lists, and no life-changing sunsets. Just honest observations from someone trying to make sense of unfamiliar places, unfamiliar feelings, and a relationship that refused to follow a sensible timeline.
