Train travel these days is no longer just about getting from point A to point B. It’s evolved long past that now and can sometimes be a fantastic way to take in as much of the natural sights in whatever country you’ve visited at a quicker pace. Train travel in the UK is pretty much … Continue Reading
Exploring the Faroe Islands is hungry work and so, after a rather busy day on the island, it’s easy to understand why all my thoughts switched right from sight-seeing and exploring straight to food! 🍜 Luckily, in Tórshavn (the capital of the islands), there’s quite a lot of choice for delicious food (Faroese or otherwise) … Continue Reading
These Fjords are UNESCO World Heritage sites for a reason! I have so much yet to tell you about our trip to Norway but I’ve been wanting to show you photos from when we saw the Fjords for so long now that I just couldn’t hold out any longer! The train ride to Flam is … Continue Reading
After our afternoon exploring Cascais, I’d definitely worked up quite the appetite so I pretty much hot-footed it to the car as fast as possible to the car when it was it time to leave. Well, there’s that and the fact that we were already quite late for our appointment back at Penha Longa, our … Continue Reading
A while back, I remember a particular UK University (with a permanent fixture in the lower half of the league tables) saying no to me when I applied to them. This year, I graduated from University of Cambridge (top in the UK and arguably in the world). I also recollect a few years back being … Continue Reading

If you’re an aspiring singer, listen to great singers and immerse yourself in great music, likewise if you’re an aspiring writer, dancer, athlete or whatever else your passion is – find ways to … Continue Reading
Remember how I said on St Agnes Island, there’s a second island attached to it via a beach (which is actually officially called a ‘Tombolo’). Well, that island is called Gugh and so after lunch at the Turk’s head, we made our way straight for Gugh… but instead got distracted by the beach and decided to … Continue Reading
And no, I don’t mean TV programmes! I mean actually official schemes run by different countries to help people come to their countries to experience it in all its glory and fullness. 1.) United Kingdom The Tier 5 Youth Mobility programme. Open to people from a limited set of countries between the age of 18 … Continue Reading
After travelling through 7 countries in just over a month, it’s safe to say I’ve very quickly discovered quite a few items that I would like to aid (and abet) my travels. Can not explain how much I want these right now! (I plan on ticking these off my list with immediate effect – bugdet … Continue Reading
There’s definitely something about in the air when you’re by the seaside that leaves you absolutely knackered by the end of the day. It may also be in part due to the fact that everything is so picturesque (and the weather is so amazing) that you end up spending every minute exploring the length and … Continue Reading
Seeing those dolphins and manta rays in the wild was absolutely incredible and the entire time, I totally forgot that I’d had very little sleep the night before (on account of me refusing to go to bed early and having to wave up very early the next day for the boat ride) – thanks in … Continue Reading
I‘m sorry but I think I just broke the internet! I wasn’t even planning on it! These photos of me on the beach in Bermuda have been described (by not a single person) as the most salaciously amazing photos on the internet! I should even just change the title of this post to #BrokeTheInternet Hahaha! … Continue Reading
A trip to Iceland is amazing in itself but seeing the Northern Lights is truly the perfect cherry on that cake! But more on that later on in this post… Now, long before arriving in Iceland, I was already looking forward to visiting Hotel Laki. This was for several reasons (including the promise of seeing … Continue Reading
The next morning in the Cotswold, I woke up with no aim but to cram in as many pretty little villages and towns in the Cotswolds as possible into my day. After breakfast at the Royal Oak, we set off to do just that, starting with an old favourite of mine – Bibury and it’s … Continue Reading
