When planning a travel itinerary that includes a week at a music festival, it’s a good idea to make the next destination a place for rest and recovery. Which is exactly why we booked a couple of nights in the peaceful town of Bled, in the mountains of Slovenia. That, and because it’d been on… Continue reading Lake Bled

Northern Ireland – Game of Thrones Country
If you’re a fan of the hit TV show ‘A Game of Thrones’ then a visit to Northern Ireland is a must! I’ve already been fortunate to visit other countries that provided locations for Game of Thrones- Iceland, Girona, Duobrovnik in Croatia but Northern Ireland is the home base for Game of Thrones with the… Continue reading Northern Ireland – Game of Thrones Country
Northern Lights Chasing in Norway
We left cold, windy London for even colder Tromso in Northern Norway (about 15 degrees colder: from 10 degrees in London down to negative 5). We wandered along dark and peacefully quiet, snow covered streets in search for our hotel. We landed in Tromso in the evening but decided the negative temps and darkness wasn’t… Continue reading Northern Lights Chasing in Norway
A Day Trip to Lille
There are many perks to living in London, pubs on nearly every corner, the public transport making it so easy to get around, always something to do any time and day of the week, cheap booze from the off licence and the ease of going to a neighbouring country for a day trip (and taking… Continue reading A Day Trip to Lille
A Winter Wonderland in Salzburg
Finally getting posting again for my 2019 adventures in Europe. I’ve had a lot going on during the start of this new year so I’ve fallen behind on posting about my trips. 2019 marks my final year living in the UK so I’m hoping to hit up as many places as possible in the time… Continue reading A Winter Wonderland in Salzburg
Christmas in Belgium
This was my last chance for a winter European Christmas, so this year I chose to spend it in Belgium. Another country to check off the list. I was lucky enough to have a friend accompany me for this trip. We were up early, after a long, tiring 7 days at work, to head to… Continue reading Christmas in Belgium
New York City on a Budget
Earlier this year I impulsively bought flights for a week in the famous New York City, not realising, until closer to the time of the trip, so a bit too late, that New York isn’t a cheap place. My trip to New York was just for a week but I had to budget smart to… Continue reading New York City on a Budget
A Holiday Home
It’s almost a little strange to be going home for one of my trips this year. Staying in my childhood home for a week, hanging out with friends and family and getting excited over going places I’ve been to so many times over the years, as if it was a new, fresh place for me.… Continue reading A Holiday Home
A Year Living the London Life
Well this is it, I’ve reached the half way mark of my 2 years in the Uk. Honestly, starting out on this adventure, I did not expect to make it to this point. I feel like this is a big achievement in my life, living and surviving (because there are definitely days were its more… Continue reading A Year Living the London Life
Catch Ups in Girona
One thing that has helped me get through to this point in my time overseas has been knowing I’ll get to spend a few days with my best friend while she was in Girona, Spain. It’s helped me break down the 2 years into smaller segments. Getting to see her at the start of July,… Continue reading Catch Ups in Girona
