My 24 in 2024 List

I have enjoyed making this list. I have moved over a couple of things that I didn’t manage in 2023, and I have tried to spread think about the different themes that matter to me: travel, family, hobbies, writing, work, home and connection / community.

I will be sharing my progress here and on Instagram over the year. I have already managed to tick something off after spending a gruelling day yesterday working on my CV. It feels good to have that done.
