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…
Just because a city isn’t on the tourist map doesn’t mean the place isn’t worth your time. In fact, that should only make you keener to go! Many major tourist destinations have their so-called second cities: places that are often just as interesting as the key location but overshadowed by its popular neighbour. Personally, I…
Anyone that knows me also knows that I love performing arts. There is something awe-inspiring about watching truly talented people do something they’re clearly very passionate about — and that I could never do! I’ve seen more than 25 plays (like Chimerica in London), musicals, ballets, dance (including Heartbeat of Home in Dublin) and circus performances in…
If there is one thing that people always ask me, it’s: “When is the best time to visit Iceland?” And honestly, there’s no right answer! I visited Iceland in late September and it was beautiful. The leaves had already begun to change colours, boasting bright reds and sunshiney yellows. If you want to see the…
Reykjavík has a fantastic café culture—locals aren’t just obsessive about drinking good coffee, but they want interesting and nice places to drink it. I got to experience just how awesome the city’s cafés are during my layover in Reykjavík when I met with Couchsurfer Romina at Stofan Café. It’s really inspired me to look deeper into…
Prague is an amazing place, filled with history, intrigue, and beauty. You could easily spend months exploring every alley and medieval building, but there is more to Czech history than this crazy city! If you want to see more of the country, Prague is a great place to be based. The city has excellent transport…
Prague is no longer the hidden gem of a European city it used to be. Everyone knows that Prague is the place for beer, architecture, bachelor parties, and of course, more beer! It’s a beautiful and enchanting city overrun by tourists every year. But like all cities that beckon visitors to explore its streets, there…
On the one hand, Prague is the city filled with old world European charm; on the other, the Czech capital is one hell of a party destination. If the latter is your goal in visiting Prague you’ll want to stay at one of these party hostels. Why? If you’re travelling with a group you want…
Love locks are everywhere these days. I’ve seen them in Prague, Budapest, Paris, and London. I used to think it was cute and romantic but since visiting Paris in October, my opinion has changed. I walked along the Seine with my partner and each time we got close to a bridge someone would ask us…
Happy New Year everyone! It’s trip planning time and while I was at a NYE dinner party two people mentioned that they wanted to go to Barcelona this year, so I thought I would write about what I thought was one of my most exciting travel achievements of 2014: I didn’t get pickpocketed in Barcelona.…
