Lessons I learned after I turned 30

I started this blog in February 2016. I was going through big life changes and a ‘turning 30’ life crisis a couple of months before the big day and I wanted to start a blog years ago but never had the confidence.‘What will you even write about’ my ex would often say. But I was single, almost thirty, hurt and going through grief and I decided to give it a go. I wanted to share with everyone all the lessons I learnt and still learning from my experience on this planet so far and as it turned out writing is one of the few things that help me get by, one of my remedies, my self-therapy techniques.

That’s how it started originally, with ‘Lessons I learned before I turn 30’, which now turned into ‘Lessons I learned after I turned 30’, although I’m not sure I want to keep this name. I still post on what I learn through life but also about anything that inspires me. I have quit my job, after living for 10 years in the UK and got CELTA qualified to teach English and travel. My first stop was Italy, but then COVID happened, so I ended up living back home to Cyprus. I’m a foodie (inevitable since my dad and my sister are chefs and we Cypriots love our food), so food features a lot in my blogs. I’m very passionate about mental health, a subject close to my hear,t and I regularly blog on that.

I’m in love with my home island, Cyprus, and it very often features on my blog, from sightseeing to food to culture to holiday ideas. Running saved me during the pandemic, and I still run regularly, so I often post about my running adventures. I love travelling, although I can’t afford to do it often, but whenever I do, a special travel blog is always up.

It’s been a challenging journey, but sharing my thoughts, lessons, and experiences has been deeply therapeutic for me. I enjoy writing, and I hope to continue blogging for years to come. Through my blog I want to inspire and help others. So if you fancy writing something, I can feature for you on my page. Just give me a shout. Namaste Eleni
