About Me


Introduction


Welcome! I'm Tamara, but you can call me TurtleDove. Originally from the breathtaking British Virgin Islands, I've swapped the Caribbean's sand, sea, and sun for the United Kingdom's distinct charm—where I've been embracing grey skies, Yorkshire puddings, and warm apple crumbles for over a decade. Despite the change in scenery, my island spirit thrives, now exploring life on a much larger island.


Journey and Evolution


My journey from the sunny shores of the BVI to the historic landscapes of England began in 2012, sparking my passion for blogging. Documenting my transition to university life in the UK, I found solace and connection in sharing my experiences with friends and family across the miles. A lover of science with a background in Biological Sciences, I've always been a nerd at heart. Yet, as I've matured, my love for writing has blossomed, becoming my preferred mode of expression.


New Beginnings


Fast forward to 2024, and life has thrown me another curveball. Not a country move this time, but a journey of adaptation and resilience. Following a trimalleolar fracture in 2022, I've embarked on a path of self-discovery as a differently abled person, eager to find joy in this new chapter.
