"I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me; All day I feel it's soft, feathery turnings, it's malignity." - Sylvia Plath, Ariel (at Dundee)

Such an awful occurrence of events happening in the world. Violence never has been nor will be the answer in my eyes. Stay safe everyone 🌎💕 (at Paris, France)

Here are some pretty clouds from a sunset on Halloween because I feel like I'm on cloud 9 right now!! After almost a month of nothing but bad news about a variety of things and a nightmare mishap where my application to study in Sydney Australia on exchange didn't end up being sent, I just heard from my art institute in Canada that not only did they manage to get my application out before the deadline just in time, but I got accepted to attend the Willem de Kooning Academie next semester in Rotterdam! Which means I'm moving back to The Netherlands again. Not how I pictured my year going in the slightest but I'm just going to roll with it. Hope you're all having a happy Thursday! (at Dundee)

The bad news- nothing lasts forever. The good news- nothing lasts forever. #TheodoraExploresTheNetherlands (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Sharing my new little sanctuary. The past couple weeks this has essentially been my only scenery because I've been so incredibly ill. But after pushing my bed next to my large window and making some colourful banners it's feeling much more cozy. (at Dundee)

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time. Not always to change something but to live a moment twice. #TheodoraExploresScotland (at Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK)

Favourite month of the year is coming to an end. Hope you're all having a happy Halloween 🍂🎃 #latergram #TheodoraExploresTheNetherlands (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Happy Halloween!! Favourite holiday of the year 👻🔮🎃 feeling like I'm laying out my trick or treat victories but no candy or chocolate for me this year just loads of sweet berries and other fruity goodness to try and feel better along with my main man HP ⚡️ and some new superfood powders I just picked up to try out as I've gotten a nasty cold. I didn't think it was possible but I have literally worried myself sick this week. - Do any of you have any recipes that incorporate wheatgrass powder (as I've never used it before) or have natural must dos to feel better? Thanks! (at Dundee)

Today's cloudy day vibes. I always listen to this album when I need to relax and a smoothie bowl never hurt anyone. But seriously friends, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's album "Together" is sex for your ears, I highly recommend. #TheodoraExploresScotland (at Dundee)

Ate lunch under the Scott Monument earlier today, you can almost see the castle through the trees. Was nice to have a brief time in Edinburgh between my flight and then train home to Dundee. #TheodoraExploresScotland (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom)
