"Back from conference" holiday pics
Currently: catching up on social media

I'm in the habit of not posting the specifics of my travel until I'm back, but anyway. I just went to Wellington NZ for a conference, to present a paper + my PhD project. Hung out cool people, and also birds. It was a good time, and the travel itself was on the university's dime.

The sea is also. So blue. Like look at this. Travel brochure colours.

I also wrote 4 chapters of Revolving Door while on holiday which...how did that happen. It's been on 2 year hiatus. I think it's because the story itself is so inspired by travel.

Welcome back!!!!!!! I'm glad your trip went well!!

That first pic especially is SO gorgeous omg. I'm jealous

Right? it looked so unreal irl. the trip was great but now I am going to spend a few days catching up on sleep

Holy shit, the water really is blue. I hope the conference and trip went super well, it sounds like it was a lot of fun!

IKR....it was so clear (there's apparently a lot of efforts going towards ocean conservation), and I don't get to see the sea that often where I am so it's always a treat. The trip was great :>

CIRCLE CIRCLE CIRCLE!! CJ I HOPE YOU HAD SO MUCH FUN

I DID...it was really fun, even though I was exhausted by the end lol. A good mix of casual activities and research related ones, presenting research and having to answer questions is always a little nerve wracking but it's always worth it for the people asking to know more and getting interested in the project

THATS SOOOOO PRETTY I hope you had lots of fun!!

I did! beautiful place, lots of cool people, and it was, as always, exciting + nerve wracking presenting my research. and also there were pigeons. so many. they were all puffed up for the weather

PIGEONS!!!!!!!!! im so glad. i hope they had fun too
