Bit of background, I’ve been quite lucky to have spent the last few months living outside of the UK. Funnily enough, for all my love of travelling, I’d never been to Asia before and so this was a summer of firsts. The first opportunity I got, I packed as much travel as possible into every … Continue Reading
Confession: I’m still not entirely sure how to pronounce Phuket! Is the ‘Ph’ pronounced like ‘F’ or ‘P’. Come to think of it, is the ‘Ket’ pronounced like ‘Pet” or ‘Pit’. To be entirely honest, I was too excited upon arrival in Phuket to ponder on these questions at any great depth. I just wanted … Continue Reading
Even the grumpiest of people appreciate a good sunset! There just something about sunsets that makes people wanna do things from whip out their cameras/phones, strip off and start dancing (or is that just me?) to have to pick up their jaws from the floor and here are some of the best places out there … Continue Reading
The day was a particularly hot day in Singapore… perhaps no hotter than average but when you’re still getting used to the heat and have been walking around in the heat, it starts to get pretty uncomfortable. Originally, we were looking for a beach but after getting lost in our search for the beach, we happened upon … Continue Reading
These were taken earlier on when it was still blisteringly cold in Brussels. Brussels is one of my favourite places to visit and I would be lying if I said Belgian Waffles had nothing to do with it! Indeed, every time I’ve been to Brussels, the very first thing I do is eat like 1,000 … Continue Reading

There is much diversity across the UK, with towering glacial valleys, historic coves and almost tropical environments. That being said, with some many of the best natural sights in the UK to visit, it can actually hard to just pinpoint a mere few for a trip. This is one of the reasons why I wanted … Continue Reading
Sometimes, when you’re caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the madness of the city that is London, it’s so easy to forget how beautiful and magnificent it is! Sometimes, it takes having to show visitors around to remind you of that. In truth, most times, I love London (it is … Continue Reading
I’m just gonna jump right into this one! First off, dump all your things at your hotel/hostel/flat/friend’s flat and head on out to the city. It’s best to do this on foot however if you’re not close the city centre, hop aboard a tram and head on it. Great, now that you’re in the city … Continue Reading
It was my friend’s birthday this weekend and we all converged in the countryside for a proper knees-up to celebrate said birthday! The day itself involved quite a lot of wine, beers and cider – along with generous lashing of delicious pub grub before the evening descended into a state of thoroughly fun organised chaos. The … Continue Reading
Yup! You heard right! 🙂 The south of France is synonymous with beautiful beaches, great weather and I guess a truly decadent lifestyle yet it is also full of so much amazing history and sights. In the interest of full disclosure, I hadn’t heard much about Nimes until I was looking on SkyScanner.net for a … Continue Reading
Part of growing up is maturing, learning more about yourself, and I guess, some basic life truths and it is safe to say that travel, in a lot of ways really helps you do that. I think (and I’m open to your thoughts on this) that travel makes you grow a lot of more because you … Continue Reading
Budapest is one of the largest cities in Europe and one steeped in history and culture! I was looking forward to visiting long before we’d even booked tickets to go though I wasn’t expecting to be in awe of the city as much as I was upon arrival. First things first, things in Budapest are … Continue Reading
As promised, here’s the second part of the Budapest post! It pretty much carries on from where we left off so grab yourself a cuppa and a bickie and let’s off on the remainder of our exploration of Budapest! Now where did we stop? Yup – that’s right, it was raining quite heavily and we trudged … Continue Reading
