I’m skipping right over Rome (not that it wasn’t fabulous, I had a great time) and going straight to writing about Split. I loved it here and full disclosure: more than once I considered missing my flight and staying here forever. For the first time in all of my travels, I really felt like I…
I am sure that I lived in Barcelona in another life. I visited Barna for the second time and I felt the same joy as before, and the experience was only made better since I got to share it with one of my favourite people in the world. Not only was my partner…
Out of habit, I started typing places I wanted to visit into a flight comparison site. Before I knew it, I had flights booked from London to Morocco to Spain to Italy to Croatia and back to London. With such little time left in Europe, why go back to Morocco and Barcelona when there are…
It has been one of my goals in life to create a food tour for myself: visiting a different restaurant for every course. I’m also dreaming of going to Florence and eating all the food (as I am apt to do). In order to start making this dream a reality, I’ve put together this wonderful…
After Martinique, the next time I went surfing was a chilly November day in Westward Ho!. No, that is neither a grammatical error nor a reflection of how much fun I had. The place is called Westward Ho! and it’s the only place in the British Isles with an exclamation mark in its name. It…
Vienna is an opulent city – even in a short wander around the Old Town allows you to appreciate the grandeur of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Magnificent palaces, imposing Romanesque churches, and gorgeous Baroque structures line the streets for visitors to marvel at. While travellers to Vienna will find an abundance of artefacts, museums, and…
Amsterdam is known around the world for its risqué coffee shop culture and salacious Red Light District, but there is far more to this culture-rich small city. The Dutch capital has more than 100 canals and more than 1,200 bridges throughout the city; it’s one of the most bikeable cities in Europe and it’s full…
While Venice is considered by many to be one of the most romantic cities on the planet, travelling with the expectation of romance spells doom. In fact, a synonym for romantic is “idealistic”, and that’s exactly where planning a romantic getaway falls short. The reality of a holiday will rarely live up your expectations and…
In my last post about Munich, I mentioned Gemütlichkeit, the feeling of belonging and friendliness. Naturally, it involved beer and Bavarian beer halls, which I’ve decided to expand on here. If you’re travelling to Munich, then these are the places where you’ll be able to enjoy your bier the way Müncheners intended. Most beer halls and…
I just had the opportunity to spend four days in Berlin and I had a great time, just like everyone said I would. Despite doing one of my favourite things, seeing a contemporary circus show, and eating great food, I didn’t fall in love with the place – probably because I had heard so many…
