Singapore – More than a stop over destination
From my middle school years I had a pen pal in Singapore. We exchanged letters and small gifts for years. I had a mahoosive poster on my bedroom of Singapore, a land so so far away. Unfortunatley we lost contact and even with the wonders of the internet a search for my long lost pen […]
When did Brisbane get so hipster?
For those that know me will know that I’m completely in love with Brisbane. Back in 2009, after 4 months travelling Asia and Australasia I headed back to Melbourne to try and get work. It was June, winter time, the weather was like London, Australia had just announced it was officially out of the recession […]
Lille, France
Since spending my 30th birthday (mainly drunk) in Budapest with a wonderful set of friends I vowed I would spend future birthday’s abroad. Since, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my birthday in Singapore, Brisbane, London, Pisa/Florence, Naples and this year I spent it in Lille. Lille is only 1hr 20 mins from St Pancras […]
My Travel Inspiration
My youngest memory of just how enchanting the world could be was from flicking through my grandparents photos from days gone by. My mother is a daughter of a Colour Sergeant who served 25 years in the British Army. Before meeting my Gran, Grandad served out in India for 5 years followed by Burma for just over a year […]
48 hours in Vienna
Our train from Krakow pulled into Wien Westbahnhof right on time at 6.51am. Check in at Kolping Wien Zentral wasn’t until 2pm…. Reception told us there was no chance of an early check in (maybe we should have booked in at a hostel instead) but they did have a locked luggage storage room. So it’s […]
Paris – Best Bits and then some…
J’adore Paris! Or is that too much of a cliché?! Just over two hours journey on the Eurostar from London St Pancras and with tickets as little as £59 (if bought way in advance), Paris should be on everyone’s visited list. It’s on my ‘visited’ list erm, five times. First time I went on tour with the […]
Berlin – Best Bits
Berlin is one of my favourite cities. My first visit was back in August 2010 when a group of us spent a few days there at the beginning of a 10 day European trip. We then went to Prague by train, which is only 5 hours away and tickets are inexpensive (compared to train travel in […]
Iceland – Reykjavik: Eats & Drinks
A little apprehensive about the costs of eating and drinking in Reykjavik we proceeded with caution. I came armed with pages of recommendations I had found researching on the internet. A few sites I found helpful: For me Wikitravel is always a good starting point. The way it is laid out is simplistic and easy for the […]
Iceland – Reykjavik: Things to do
The central touristy part of Reykjavik is fairly small and easily walkable. THE SUN VOYAGER We started our day exploring the city by walking part of the coastal path. This beautiful structure ‘The Sun Voyager’ is just yards away from our hotel along the path. HARPA CONCERT HALL This is the next sight along the […]
Iceland – Trips
THE BLUE LAGOON Is a must! There are alot of articles written about other places that you can go in Reykjavik but the Blue Lagoon is perfect in every sense. Again our bus transfers and pick up from the hotel were included in the package, all I had to do was to remember all of the […]
