What’s a photo you’ve got or had taken that always brings a memory to mind?
When I was thinking about what to write today’s blog on, a random idea came to mind – why not talk about photos, how I use them when writing posts and why I’ve started taking more and more of them in recent years. So, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

How’s the week ahead looking for you?
Over the last seven years, I’ve shared a lot about myself and my story. Iโve always liked the idea of โbuilding in public” – creating content that’s shaped around who I am as a real person. As James Sweeney.

That’s exactly what we’re going to be taking a look at today.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in New Orleans for a week, where I got reminded about one of my favourite things about solo travelling – the people. We’re going to take a look at what I mean by this in today’s blog.

While in Washington DC last year, I decided to visit the Arlington National Cemetery during one of my final visits of the holiday, and what a fantastic tribute it is. We’re going to take a look at my thoughts about this respectful and peaceful place in today’s blog.

With Saint Davidโs Day last Sunday, and being born and raised in the Swansea valleys, it feels only right to lean into Wales, Welsh culture and how it’s helped shape me into who I am a little more today ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

Last week, I watched the finale of one of my favourite TV shows, The Good Place. Itโs one of the best finales made, in my opinion, and thereโs one speech made by the character Chidi that I wanted to share with you all today, and mention why I love it.
