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…
11 Places You Probably Weren’t Planning on Travelling to but Should
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!

No Love Locks – Show Your Love Without Vandalism
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…
