Here are my top five posts from all categories:

1. I got my bellybutton pierced: Piercings can work miracles for body parts you’re insecure about (for me, it was my boobs), I love this post.
2. Best hostel experience: I’m usually not one to share review posts, but this hostel is the best I’ve ever stayed in, too! I stayed in Kick Ass on both my Edinburgh trips in 2016 and 2018.
3. A to Z of blogging: So many great useful tips!
4. I’m pledging to offset my carbon footprint when flying: As someone who loves travel but also an environmental advocate, I’m often torn with how to balance the two. Now I know.
5. 5 quick tips to read more books: I agree with a lot of the points in this post and have a few of my own! Maybe I’ll make a post on it, too…
