Do you often explore your own city? 📸 • • I started doing this every week & it's fantastic! I feel like I know about Manchester more in one month than I knew about Newcastle in the last 5 years. It's crazy what a little bit of exploring can do! So far my favourite part of the city is the famous Northern Quarter because architecture here is so simple yet beautiful, there's a lot of culture and positive vibes. And to top this off, the Northern Quarter has some of the best coffee shops in the city that serves groundbreaking breakfast. This is on my list next - to experience a Mancunian breakfast at the Northern Quarter. #enroutewithakvile

What’s the most mind blowing street art you’ve ever seen? • • Mine has to be this one, located at the Northern Quarter in Manchester. Not the happiest piece of street art that I’ve seen but every time I walk passed it, it makes me think, it reminds me how lucky I am and it also keeps me humble. The image, created by Hyuro, represents an ongoing issue about children who are being pulled into wars through no fault of their own. If that’s not a powerful street art, then I don’t know what is. #enroutewithakvile

Real life happy VS. Instagram happy. Which one are you? • • I think this topic was brewing in my head for a while. The topic I feel incredibly passionate about. Creating happiness on social media will do nothing to your life unless you’ll put that in practice in your real life. I recently noticed a few people close to me showcasing how idyllic their life is on social media & that isn’t only an Instagram disease. I know those people & I know where they are at on their happiness journey. Now I’m not going to give anyone a lesson or judge them because I know all we really want is to be happy. However, I think it’s important to remember that you need to work on your real life happiness in order to have a positive outcome. If you pretend to be ‘almost perfect’ in everything you do, make sure you actually put that in practice. Otherwise, you will find yourself unhappy & lost one day when you’ll realise that your own Instagram (or any other social media) life is better than your real life. Don’t get stuck on the hamster wheel, stay real with yourself. 💖#enroutewithakvile

THANK YOU! Because I see you, I appreciate your support & I count on you, always. 💖 • • I have to pinch myself sometimes when I see that 2,000 people are following my adventures. I don’t care how big or small this number is based on Instagram standards. To have 2,000 people in one room who listens, cares, shares, communicates is bloody fantastic. I have never met that many people in one room before. Therefore, I want you to know how important your support is to me; how happy I get every time you leave a comment under my pictures; how blessed I feel when you send me DMs and we have a usual friends chat even though we have never met before. You are my Team, people! The kind of team I always want to have on my side because you rock. So keep typing, keep liking, tell me when I annoy you or bore you off. I’m here to keep it real and show you what I like about travelling & drop one or two deep talks along the way because, well, it’s important. :) If you ever want any tips of what to see & do, message me - I always help (ask those who DMed me already). If you feel down, holla at me - I hope to share my positivity, love, support with you. Even if you are simply bored, I’ve got time for you! Thanks for the journey peeps, we’ve got many more planes to catch. x #enroutewithakvile

No phone for a day challenge. Can you handle that? • • After I’d taken an Instagram break, I decided to challenge myself more in different areas. To create something new out of my comfort zone, to be more confident and, most importantly, to show my phone who’s the boss. So I’m going to do ‘a day without a phone challenge’. I didn’t have a mobile phone when I was little, so it can’t be that difficult, right? I picked a day when I don’t have any work commitments and I am able to make all my close relatives & friends aware that I’m going to be offline so they don’t think I’m in trouble. For once, I want to wake up without checking the news on my phone or have lunch without scrolling through Instagram. I want to see people, I want to make conversations and I want to remember what it feels like to live a life without a mobile phone. Any other brave souls over here who would like to give this a go with me? #enroutewithakvile

Netflix & Chill, hun? • • When it gets colder & darker outside, I choose my sofa and a blanket over nights out every single time. I watched The Prince & me once again (thanks @netflix for the oldies!), I tried to fall in love with the Queen of the South and I’d even spent the whole evening watching Kevin Hart’s stand up. Now I need you to help me & recommend something new I haven’t yet seen because another weekend is always on the way and Netflix is my only medicine to treat this Autumn bug. • • What’s your latest Netflix discovery? #enroutewithakvile
