Firstly I thought I would explain to you a little bit about myself; I was born Alexis Frances Martyna Cross (although most people call me Lexi) on the 14th of February 1998. So yes I was a valentines baby but having your birthday on Valentines Day comes with highs and lows, but I'll explain that in another post. I have many interests but I am mainly focused on dance, performing arts, modelling, photography, fitness and FOOD! I dance 24 hours a week within my dance school and college, which brings me to explain my hip injury. I have hyper mobility syndrome which is where you are double jointed in almost all of your joints which explains why I can do some strangely flexible positions compared to others. This syndrome also contains a sleeping condition where I have to make sure I have enough sugar in my system and that I have slept a good amount of hours. Anyway my hips are obviously fragile and recently have been popping out socket quite often so I have been to a lot of physio therapy appointments.. which means free massages! So even though I am still going to be attending college, dance school and work I now have a small amount of extra time to rest my hips and create this blog.
I have decided that I'll do separate posts about my individual interests because otherwise this first post would be ridiculously long.
As a kid I was pretty crazy but then again most of my family members are, my older sister and I joke about our family being the British version of the Kardashians. I was born in England and lived there for 3 years then my family and I moved to the Algarve in Portugal for 10 years, my dad wasn't around a lot as he was a pilot so I lived with my mum and my older sister and after a few years I also lived with my younger sister. When I was younger I was very lucky and got to travel most of the world with my family which has really got me interested to travel more in the future to make more new experiences. Here are a few images from a few of my travels as a child:
 |
| In the Maldives (I am in white, my older sister in blue) |
 |
| DisneyLand California (I'm the small one with the weird expression) |
 |
| Lotte World in Korea |
 |
| Outside the Royal Opera House in Sydney |
 | ||
| In Venice (I am on the left and my sister has the pigeon pooing on her)
There have been many other places I have visited but I don't really want to bore you.
As you can see in the photos my older sister and I had a really close relationship which was really good to have when I turned 12 and went to boarding school in England with my boarding school. My older sister and I were really nervous at first of course from moving away from our family and starting a new school, but boarding school turned out to be one of the best things I have ever experienced in my personal opinion. We lived there for 3 years and over that time we both made so many friends which we are still friends with now and will always stay in contact with.
So that brings me to current time, I am currently at college in England and exploring all my interests. Hopefully I will be able to post on here at least once a week to add to being a new hobby of mine but we shall see...
