notes on social media (and travel content)

Posted on April 10, 2024April 10, 2024 by kowalkowskiallison

Social Media as a Millennial Social media is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Last year, in 2023, I finally decided to make some changes in my daily life in regards to all the new technology we’ve had from like 2008 onwards.

Daydreamer Diaries: Sept 2022

Posted on September 29, 2022September 29, 2022 by kowalkowskiallison

Musings Due to the Queen’s passing a few weeks back, most of the content I consumed in September was royal-related. It’s too complex to explain my thoughts about the monarchy in just a few sentences here so I won’t try, but know that my fascination with the events this month stemmed more from a historical…

Musings I spent half the month of August in the U.K., so this post is going to be a mini love letter to my favorite British tings. In addition to London, I also spent time on the east coast of England (a first for me) in villages like Wye and Whitstable. Kent was actually named…
