I’ve been wanting to write about this since my return from my last trip. However, I don’t want to seem as though I am ‘showing off’ because business travel is HARD work. It’s not all the glamour of jetting off to incredible places, sight seeing, a break away. It is longer days, adjusting to new [...]
My most recent trip over the Atlantic was certainly a whirlwind experience. It was both bitter and sweet as I got such a small amount of time to explore, but I am very aware that I am very lucky to have travelled in the first place. It has just given me even more need to [...]
Let me start with my only negative – the weather. August is far too hot, muggy, sweaty to be in NYC. I like to view the positives in everything, but I always want to give you my honest opinion. New York itself was a dream! It is an amazing place to be – words cannot [...]
Dear Crohn’s Disease, I know that you know I’m an adrenaline junkie, that I like roller coasters or throwing myself out of planes (skydiving). But there is only one type of roller coaster I like. That is the type with tracks built on steel pillars, strapped into a cart that races fast, through loops and [...]
Following my last photo diary post, I felt inspired to do the same for my Iceland trip. I can't quite believe that this was over a month ago - where has the time gone? Love, Soph x Follow me on insta for more: @crohnswithme
Welcome, I'm Sophie, outside of my normal 9-5 I'm a full-time Crohn's fighter, part-time explorer (I'm always trying to fit in a trip whenever I can) and of course the creator of CrohnsWithMe. At age 11, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and having gone through a few bad flare ups, changes in diet and [...]
I decided to put together a little photo diary. This series of snaps are a timeline of my trip to Disney. Love, Soph x Follow me on Instagram @crohnswithme
Electroland Night 1: 5th July 2019 Night 2: 6th July 2019 I have been looking forward to writing about this part of my recent Disney trip. Electroland was the main reason for visiting Disney this year, this was also my first music festival abroad and a chance to experience something new. First, let me begin [...]
Day 3. Wake up call: 8am Breakfast: 9:45am Following a second late night, it was a struggle to wake up. But it was our last day in Disney and almost time for our character breakfast experience. We had booked into Plaza Gardens, in the Disneyland Parc for a breakfast and chance to meet some of [...]
Day 1 Wake up call: 4:30am Airport pick up: 5:15am Flight time: 8:15am BHX – CDG It was time to catch my 5th flight of the year and this time for deserved escape from reality. My out of office was on and I was ready for my Disney adventure to begin. The main purpose for [...]
June was been a crazy month, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. July is about to get a little crazier. This month I’m flying to Paris, to spend a weekend in the happiest place on earth - Disneyland Paris. I’m a Disney fan, and this isn’t my first visit to DLP but this year [...]
Day 4. Wake up call: 8:30am Breakfast: 9am Activities: snorkelling through Silfra. On our final full day, we were split into two groups. One group opted for buggy driving and the other opted for snorkelling. I chose to do snorkelling. Now, I know what your thinking here. Why on earth would anyone choose to snorkel [...]
Day 3. Wake up call: 8am Breakfast: 8:30am Activities: whale watching and lava tunnel exploring. Following a late night in Reykjavik, and on very little rest, my alarm woke me from a deep sleep. I felt extremely tired, my arms ached from the snowmobiles on day 2 and I was considering to taking the day [...]
Day 2. Wake up call: 8am Breakfast: 8:30am Awake, ready for the day I made my way down to breakfast. It was going to be a long, busy day and I wanted to ensure I had enough fuel. I knew what was on the agenda for day 2 but I was not prepared for such [...]
Day 1. Wake up call: 3am Feeling very tired, 3am is not a great time to be awoken. Weary eyed and in need of a cup of tea I made my way down to the Crowne Plaza hotel lobby at Manchester airport. I’m finally getting to experience a bucket list destination and go on my [...]
