Politics is by no means something that I’ve ever taken an interest in. Personally, I think that is because I just don’t understand it. The to-ing and frow-ing, the child like arguments between parties, the utter crap that these politicians promise but never deliver. It has always been too much for my to wrap my [...]
Wake up call: 9am Breakfast: 10am Activity: shopping I will be real with you, I’m a little bit of a shopping addict. I guess consumerism is kind of my thing. So how could I not visit the Champs Elysees? One of the worlds famous commercial streets. Champs Elysees means “Elysian Fields”, which indicates that someone [...]
Wake up call: 3am Flight time: 6:40am BHX - CDG Lately, I’ve found that my fatigue is pretty severe. My body aches and I struggle to get myself awake, up and about in the morning. But somehow when it’s a travel day I seem to miraculously have a little more energy. It’s almost as though [...]
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 [...]
To follow on from my last instalment in the travel edit, I thought I would provide a little more context and write a little bit about the reason for my trip across the Atlantic. For work, I am a Customer Success Manager, and in a nutshell this is an account manager role. I look after [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been lacking on the blog front recently and the truth is I’ve been really overwhelmed. I’ve been recovering from my trips earlier in the summer and also preparing for my most recent visit to America. On top of that, I’ve been working, trying to keep up with my house work, and of course see [...]
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 2. Wake up call: 7:45am. Breakfast: 8:30am. Weary eyed, we slowly rolled out of bed and ready for our second day in Disneyland. We had crammed so much stuff into Day 1, with the excitement of travelling and the heat in Paris, I woke up feeling as though I had been ‘hit by a [...]
