Travelling & Trying New Things - Em's World | Guest Week

-
Hi, I'm Em from the blog Em's World | Talking Through The Screen. Today I will be doing a guest post on this blog, I hope you enjoy...........




I've always found travelling fun, I find it really interesting and a tiny bit scary at the same time. I think it's great to explore new places and try new things, I especially enjoy the little things. For example today I tried a Cinnabon for the first time and (this is quite a big thing) a few days ago I came here to America, going out of Europe for the first time. I appreciate that not everyone enjoys going abroad but I find it amazing, I also appreciate that not everybody has the opportunity to go abroad but you can travel and try new things without spending loads of money as well, whether it's camping in you back garden or staying in a hotel on the other side of the world you can still explore and see different ways of living and cultures. 
When I say trying new things, it can mean anything, like today I walked up to a squirrel and it didn't run away, it wasn't frightened at all and just stood staring at me, to be honest I found this quite amazing. I also went on a very scary roller coaster that I wouldn't have dreamed of going on a few years ago. 




As well as actually being somewhere and doing something, I love the excitement before hand during the build up, the countdown of the days and the endless days spent planning. It's so fun reading about where you are going and thinking about what you are going to do! 
For me a big part of travelling is being with friends and family, yes you will probably argue a little bit but so what, that's just human nature and they aren't the bits you remember. You remember the laughter and the sunshine and the activities you all did together. 
Another reason I love to travel, as sad as this may sound, is the photography aspect. When you are away from home everything and everyone seems so photogenic and I just can't stop myself from taking a cute pic. I think this is good though because capturing memories is important and great to look back on. 
One of the great things about it are the memories that are made, little moments that will stay in your mind forever and images that you can look back on forever. 


What are your thoughts on traveling and tying new things? Let me know in the comments!

    Such an awesome post Em! Guest week is wonderful. :)
    I think trying things is a part of life and without discovering new things we would just be living the same lives. We need to step out of our comfort zone and travel places we have never seen before!

Snatch | 100 Movies Bucket List

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

Book Review #127: The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

After the events of 'The Inheritance Games', Avery still doesn't know why Tobias Hawthorne left her his entire fortune. All she knows for sure is that she isn't a Hawthorne. But when she discovers something that suggests she's closer to the Hawthorne family than she ever imagined, Avery, along with the mysterious Hawthorne brothers, try to find the truth once and for all . I reviewed the first book, 'The Inheritance Games', HERE , and said that because I didn't love it, I wasn't really interested in reading the sequels. I picked this book up on the spur of the moment, because while I didn't love the first, I was kind of curious about what came next. I'm so glad I decided to pick this up, because I liked it a lot more than the first one! One of my criticisms the first time around was that I felt Avery was quite juvenile and childish. This time around was entirely different - I really liked being in her head, and she definitely seemed more matu

The Green Mile | 100 Movies Bucket List

This was a first-time watch, but one that had been on my list for years, so I'm glad the Bucket List forced me to finally watch it! What a movie! I don't really know what I was expecting, but I didn't expect to be as affected by it as I was. Because this film really touched me. I was emotionally invested, engaged, immersed, devastated, broken and everything in between. I'm still not over it. There are so many things to praise about this movie, starting with the performances. Every actor was amazing in their respective role, but the two clear standouts are Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks. I've seen quite a few Tom Hanks movies, and I can honestly say that this is the first time I've completely loved a performance of his, he was amazing in this role. And Michael Clarke Duncan was phenomenal and completely made the film what it is. Then there's the writing and direction, both of which were incredible. The story is so powerful, which is due to, what I assume

Anyone But You | Film Review

After a great first date that quickly goes bad, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) despise each other. But when they are both invited to a destination wedding, they decide to fake date to stop their animosity from ruining the wedding celebrations. I didn't pay much attention to this film until I started seeing the reviews. I haven't seen a really good rom-com in a while, so hearing that this was quite a good one made me excited to see it! I liked this film, but I didn't love it. The meet-cute was really fun and unique, and a good way for the audience to get to know the characters. The cast is great, and the characters are all played really well. The main characters in particular are really fun to watch, especially when they're arguing. The dialogue is written really well and it's an enjoyable watch, but I never felt like I really got to know them, and so I never felt 100% invested in their stories. And with that, while I enjoyed their interactions, I never r
