Now and Then: A walk down memory lane

Now & Then | Hanna's Places

A little while ago, I was tagged by Kevin (and Trina) to play along in the Now & Then game. I have loved reading what my blogging friends used to be like some years ago (and how much we already had in common!), so I’m happy to play along as well.

For everybody who hasn’t seen it yet – Now & Then is a fun game created by Miranti to reminiscence who we once were and compare it to who we are today. It was so much fun looking back like that – and I hope I remember everything correctly!

Read

Now: Ian McEwan, Martin Suter

Then: Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, anything about horses

Listen

Now: William Fitzsimmons, James Vincent McMorrow

Then: Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks

Watch

Now: Gilmore Girls, Downton Abbey, Suits

Then: You’ve Got Mail, Emergency Room

Attitude

Now: Friendly, seize the day, happy

Then: Dreamer, shy, calm

Dreams

Now: Moving to London, volunteering in Brasil, working on my creative skills

Then: Go to Africa, become a writer, buy a horse

Leisure

Now: Reading, writing, cooking, blogging

Then: Reading, painting, watching movies

This was so much fun! I wish I had kept a diary or something when I was a younger girl because I just really enjoy looking back.

Since I’m always curious what my blogging friends have like when they were younger, I’m tagging Helena, Siobhan, Freya  and Hannah & Suruchi! I can’t wait to read your answers :)

        Ha, I can totally relate – I was so into horses as well ;) Was thinking that the other day already actually, when I read your Liebster Award answers.
        Thank you so much for inviting me to play along, Hanna! Can’t wait to get into it, these kind of games are so much fun.

    I love this, Hannah!! I learned quite a few new things about you. :) And discovered I’m pretty sure I’d enjoy hanging out with both you & your younger self! ;)

    Both now & then you seem pretty confident and sure of your aspirations, I love that!

    Loved reading this! We are pretty similar both now and then! I also want to volunteer, it has been a dream of mine for so long! I’m thinking Thailand on an elephant conservation. Plus if you do move to London let me know! :)

      This is so cool! I love getting to know new friends I wouldn’t have ‘met’ without this blog :).

      I hope I can move to London one day soon, otherwise I’ll just visit ;).

      Yes, Gilmore Girls is definitely a Then and a Now for me! My favourite show of all times. And James Vincent McMorrow as well – have you listened to his new album?
