- I’m a 22-year-old languages student turned travel and lifestyle blogger. I grew up near Brighton on the sunny south coast of the UK, and have spent the last few years learning to function in rainy Manchester, and the humidity of Buenos Aires. I’m an adventurous baker, an avid traveller, and a (very) amateur pole dancer. I created Chaos and Creations to share things I love, whether exhilarating travel experiences, successful culinary experiments, or mindblowing books. And, of course, to periodically reassure my family that I’m still alive. Enjoy!
