2016, you’ve been strange; economically, politically, professionally and personally! Anyone else exhausted?! Although it’s been a slow-motion car crash in some ways, I can’t deny that for me, this year has brought with it it’s fair share of incredible moments. So as we sped head-first into 2017 with a shaky sign of relief, a whole […]
Visit Reykjavik’s Sun Voyager Price: Free! The unmistakable sculpture on Reykjavik’s northern coast is a nod to the country’s Viking history. Constructed in 1990, to celebrate the city’s 200th anniversary, this incredible modern art piece jars spectacularly against the backdrop of mount Esja across the harbour and is a great place to meet and relax whilst […]
After a four day visit to Berlin last year, and as (hopefully!) an older and wiser traveller and second-tripper, I was mindful to choose my accommodation more carefully this time around. Although it was less important last summer as I was mainly out and about, exploring the city and didn’t end up spending too much […]
Just another European city? No chance. Brussels is still a seriously underrated European getaway; a total gem, nestled in between three of the major front runners in the travel world – Germany, France and The Netherlands. I hear it all the time; ‘Brussels is Boring‘, but i’m totally bored of hearing this! In my opinion, Belgium is […]
Brussels; known for being the city at the heart of the European Union and the best place in Europe for a beer. But what else is there to this Belgian capital and why should you be booking a visit here? This is actually a second trip for me. I’d previously visited Brussels in October as a […]
It’s been no secret that beer has a fan in me. My kind of traveling includes hunting out the lesser known gems, busting through all the must-see tourists sights and after a long busy day, relaxing with a pint of the local brew with alongside a platter of traditional European grub. As beer brewing has […]
I’d been toying with the idea of a trip over to Bratislava for a few months now, despite knowing very little about the capital of Slovakia. After some half-hearted google searches that didn’t amount to much, I wondered why I was so fixated in wanting to visit. Uninspired, I turned to my trusty girl gang of travel […]
When you’re gripped with the insatiable urge to see the whole world, it’s incredibly rare to want to be revisiting a place you’ve already been to. Don’t get me wrong, everywhere I’ve been I’ve been utterly enthralled by; just simply being somewhere new and different causes the heart to do somersaults. But some places just […]
I was in high hopes for my birthday break to Krakow in October; I’d visited Gdansk, a small coastal town in the North of Poland earlier that year in the spring and was treated to beautiful buildings, cosy cafes and superb food. Researching Krakow, I understood that the city claims to have the highest concentration of […]
Slovenia wasn’t on my radar before this year until I ‘discovered’ it through Lauren Juliff’s travel blog, Never Ending Footsteps, where she cites its capital as one of her favourite European cities. This time last year I’d taken a week long trip to visit Split in Croatia followed by a few days in Italy, and […]
I’ll forgive you, I hadn’t heard of this place either. Although, who wants to let small detail of not knowing where something is on a map get in the way of a cheap and cheerful Ryanair flight and the prospect of going someplace new for the weekend, right?! So here we were, 30,000 ft. in […]
