There’s Norway to miss this
Oslo is bursting with colour, culture and a bundle of tourist adventures. There were 2 key experiences that made my weekend in the Norwegian capital. Firstly, wandering around Frogner park recreating the sculpture poses and people watching was a morning well spent. Bonus points for recreating some of the complexed poses with random strangers (post-pandemic…
Not a (Singa)pore holiday choice
Singapore is an island full of attractions and luxury living (as pointed out by its narrow hostel options). I have had the honour of being able to visit this beautiful place twice in my lifetime, once in childhood and again as a nomadic backpacker. Perhaps, my favourite memory from my first trip was my…
Rome(ing) around
Rome is a popular holiday destination for several reasons; cuisine and culture to name only two. In recent years, many Brit’s have affectionately named it as a city of romance. This “romance” became evident to me on my visit to the Italian capital where I, unknowingly, checked into a party hostel and spent a week…
(T)all in a days work
Dubai is a city of the future with its stupendous skyscrapers and massive mall. It’s also one of the hottest places I’ve ever been to which makes sense seeing as its planted smack bang in the Arabian desert. I spent less than 24 hours in the city as a break between two long haul flights,…
(Den)mark my words
Copenhagen is a modern metropolis encased in historical, colourful streets. As seems to be frequent with my travels, I found myself with a heinous cold and chesty cough for most of my weekend there and probably drove my hostel roommates to plotting my demise. Thankfully, Copenhagen is one of those cities where I barely needed…
Far from the wurst city
Berlin is one of the busiest cities in Europe with extensive political history, flea markets and yummy food. It’s a place I have been lucky enough to visit a couple of times and would happily go back to as there is so much to do. I find Alexanderplatz itself rather comforting as my mother studied…
You’ll Bali believe the views
Bali is the tourist destination of the moment or at least it seems to be. It’s tropical landscapes, food and adventure have everyone dreaming of jetting off (and escaping our dear friend Coronavirus). Let me tell you – it is not overrated, its possibly the most exhilarating place I’ve ever been, and I almost didn’t…
Stop me if you’ve heard this Juan
Guadalajara is a bustling city in western Mexico. It’s the home to mariachi, vibrant markets and most famously, the alcoholic drink tequila. As a 16-year-old, to my mother’s horror, I decided to self-fund a trip to Guadalajara and spend a month volunteering. It was my first flight out of the nest and I soon began…
Pardon My French
Montmartre is perhaps one of the most beautiful districts in Paris with cobbled streets and the domes of the Sacré-Cœur. It is also home to the elusive Moulin Rouge show, a monumental amount of sex shops and several pub crawls (the embarrassingly British pub crawls that irritate the French locals to high heaven). It just…
