Just another heavily caffeinated, Boho-souled, Brit (not behaving badly) abroad, biting off more than I can chew & attempting to find and create peace... with a lil' luxe along the way.
I come with AuDHD, hyper-fixations galore, a huge 100 m² rooftop terrace that's currently 3/4 empty & an IKEA toolkit that's been my bestie since I ran away from home when I was 15.Oh and I also have lots of plants...
71 of them say HEYYYY!When I'm not day-dreaming, procrastinating or fighting 42 °C or 35mph winds to keep my plant babies alive, you'll usually find me on the street, stroking & feeding stray animals, for emotional support, convincing myself that I definitely need one more plant or discovering beautiful, boho hideouts that I'll of course share with you's... because nobody likes a gate-keeper, right?!If any of this resonates with you, you're most welcome to keep wandering with me for more... ↓
This was my first morning in Egypt after booking a one-way ticket, the day before, for a sunshine break in October 2025... and somehow I've ended up relocating here solo in my 30s, on a whim, which still feels mildly unhinged, tbh.Since then, life has mostly been a mix of:
• 5 apartment moves
• accidentally turning every balcony into a jungle
• working with street rescue teams to feed, foster and administer life-saving medical care to #StrayFurBubbas
• frequently arguing with local taxi drivers trying to overcharge me, whilst proudly and loudly standing my ground, stating that "I am a resident - not a tourist!
• Discovering the BEST self-care, beauty and wellness places and practitioners in the whole, wide, world!
• Taking frequent mini-breaks to beautiful AirBnBs & hotels that are affordable and a 20 min taxi away...and trying to remain optimistic in the moments I have (more often than I care to admit) thought to myself... "WTF are you doing with your life, Tea?!"I'm so grateful you're here and wish you nothing but Peace, Love & Happiness - the 3 things I'm determined to also find and create on this new adventure.Buckle up, buttercups!
Big Love, a lot of Luck & a lil' Luxe... always,
Tea xo
Warning:if you’re here for perfection,
this is your cue to exit the desert - either on a camel or in an uber - they’re usually parked next to each other.
Just a lil' note about gifts...So ummmm, treating me to Seedlings & Serotonin from my Amazon Wishlist is admittedly not the most straight-forward of processes, without incurring extortionate postage costs and logistical nightmares, so, I've exported items from it to my Throne Wishlist instead.You can also support me on Paypal or Ko-Fi, where I also write a blog that I frequently update with all-sorts.NB: Gifts are never expected but always appreciated! Please remember to leave your username so I can personally thank you!
Thank you so much to those of you who have treated me (and #TheStrayFurBubbas) to the gifts and donations in this video... and for all the will-wishes sent on my new adventure.
#TeaOnTheTerraceI now have a dreamy roof terrace dedicated to therapeutic-but-chaotic gardening experiments, sunbathing (without the weird, nosy, leering neighbour at my last apartment), BBQ-ing & eventually all the things... but it's going to be a labour of love, dividing and conquering it whilst live-streaming (on TikTok), blogging about it (Ko-Fi), documenting it (pretty lil' pics on Instagram) & more likely than not, having emotionally-dsyregulated meltdowns because although I'm already in-too-deep, I aint no quitter!Creating is something that soothes my AuDHD & I'm finally ready for a new project after renovating my property in London, alone, for 3 years after Covid-19.So here goes... * deep breaths *Current Rooftop Residents:
• Bougainvillea, Lantana, Firecrackers, Cacti, Oleander, Pentas, a variety of Jasmines, Plumeria, Hibiscus, Murraya, Portulaca, Climbing Roses & Periwinkles
• A leggy Sweet Red Pepper & Fruit Trees (Blackberry, Pomegranate & Orange)
• Basil, a variety of Mint & RosemaryI had a lot more seedlings but they didn't make it once summer hit, so a fresh batch will be en route when it gets a lil' cooler.Upcoming Creations & Renovations:
• Air clay bird feeders
• Pergola misting system
• Homemade Epsom salts with dried flowers
• Airflow & shading solutions
• Beginners Macrame pieces
• Upcycling old, wooden furnitureHere's hoping that with a pocket full of dreams, a lil' paint, copious amounts of caffeine, a healthy dose of delusion & hose parties before 6am sun-up... that my roof terrace will become a big, beautiful, boho sanctuary.
