About

Hey! Im Megan Coupe (Megs) and this is my new blog! Im 19 years old, born in New Zealand, living in Northamptonshire and currently on a gap year awaiting to go to university in Sheffield. I definitely have the travelling bug so for now that is what my content will consist of ! 

New York 2016
I've begun this blog because writing is something I've always been interested in and with my absolute desperation to travel and my gap year about to be in full swing I saw no reason why I shouldn't start now. I thought it would be helpful to have a hobby as well as keeping my mum and all her friends up to date on what her daughters doing so she can stop banging on about it (love you mum!!) 

I just want to make a difference in the world🌍 I’m trying to become more of a positive thinker. I love eating strawberries, reading stories and spreading some smiles even when I don’t always feel like it on the inside aha, always feel if you smile on the outside you can make that step towards smiling more on the inside!

Its a brand new blog so be kind! Hope this will be helpful for me more than anything to give me something to put some energy and time into. Let me know what you think as I go off on my adventures.

 Keep smiling,

 Megs x

The reasons why I think doing a gap year is the best decision I’ve ever made

(Even though it hasn't truly started yet) If you never get a little lost during an adventure is it really an adventure? — Dr. Simon Coupe (my papa)   Taking a gap year is one of those decisions that until recently not many have felt was an option for themselves during a time of stress , choice and of course the prospect of large cost . It sure has become much more popular but the negativity and doubt that can surround it still remains I feel. Certainly from when I first suggested that I wanted to go exploring for 6 months all anyone could say was “Well what about university?” “Have you got a plan?” “What if you never come back?” “Oh I couldn’t do that, I’d never go back to education .” Right, so no I didn’t have a plan, I thought wow I want to see the bloody world and here’s this whole year I can take with no big responsibilities yet, no kids, no mortgage, these last 7 years of school have almost killed me and I want a break! I thought, well I was born in N

The Pearl of Africa: Uganda

Image
This time last year I was landing in the beautiful Uganda and honestly I'm so jealous of the year below me that are making that same journey. They have so much to look forward to and it just flies by! Its honestly hard to put into words how eye-opening and all-round amazing the experience was. My heart and thoughts are out there and so often I wish I could jump back to that happiness and the fantastic people we met there.  The journey for us started off months prior with a hell of a lot of fundraising and a lot of kind people showing their support! Our four schools: The Ferrers, Huxlow, Rushden and Kineton. All of us in our little groups working our hearts out to help the children out in Uganda aswell as pay for the fellow Ugandan students to join us at the conference.  Fundraising ideas included:  George completed a Tough Mudder with friends! Caitlin abseiled down the National Lift Tower in Northampton! (418 FT HIGH!!) We all completed the Northampton Fun

My weekend in the yorkshire dales

Image
As many of you may know if you follow my  Instagram  or my mamas Facebook ( because she wouldn’t let you miss it ). We all just had a weekend up in Yorkshire renting a house for us all to party in basically! This was all for my Dad’s 50th and Grandma’s 75th birthday. It was pretty lovely! Nice to have a weekend off and get some fresh air and see some of my family for the last time before I go off travelling at the end of March. If you’re ever up there I recommend Aysgarth Falls. I’m a sucker for a good waterfall. I think my family just can’t help but attempt to take a model shot in front of one and it’s short of a family tradition! For someone as clumsy as me it was frickin risky climbing down onto the most lower falls with all the bloody moss and pools but definitely worth it. Very surprised not one of us fell although there were many ‘ carefully...CRAP...caught myself...yes didn’t smack  my back on a rock ’ moments. We all got lots of steps in which is ideal as were all co
