I'm Christina Thomas, the creator and editor of Juxtapose With U, a magazine-style lifestyle blog celebrating the people, places, culture, food, arts and community stories that make Wales and beyond such fascinating places to explore. I began blogging in 2018, originally sharing my experiences through a Google Blogger site before moving to WordPress to create a more engaging and accessible platform. Today, Juxtapose With U combines travel features, event coverage, food reviews, theatre and arts, photography, local history and community news, all written from a personal perspective with an emphasis on honesty, positivity and inclusivity. With a professional background in digital content creation, web development and online learning, I enjoy producing high-quality articles, photography and social media content that help promote local businesses, charities, community organisations and cultural events. When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me exploring new destinations, discovering independent cafés and restaurants, attending festivals and live performances, or supporting community initiatives across Wales. Through Juxtapose With U, my aim is simple: to inspire others to discover somewhere new, support local communities, and appreciate the stories that often go unnoticed.
