The first word that comes to my mind when thinking about our trip to Tallinn, Estonia is eye opening. It’s modern and cool yet quaint and old. Converted warehouse apartments are set next to still used, old soviet buildings. An underrated and under-spoken about city […]
A whole month in central Europe, driving around historic cities and beautiful landscapes. That was the plan. Forget the sun in Spain, the food in Italy and the beaches in Greece. This road trip was about one thing and one thing only – finding the […]
Whenever I go to a new country I try and learn a few phrases in the local language. I feel that a little bit of effort on my part goes a long way to showing that I want to learn more about the country I […]
Before visiting Russia, I was really unsure what to expect when it came to long distance train journeys. Would there be any English signs or would I have to quickly learn Cyrillic? Would it be easy for a foreigner to buy a ticket? Did you […]
Taking the Allegro train from Helsinki to St Petersburg takes just 3.5 hours and runs four times a day. It’s efficient, modern and very easy to use, so instead skip the airport queues and try the cheaper (and more fun) option of taking the train.
Do you want to indulge in delicate chocolates, drink gallons of beer and soak up your hangover with french fries and waffles? Then Brussels is your city – plus, you can eat mussels in Brussels (sorry)! There is more to the political capital of Europe […]
Seeing the Aurora Borealis, also know as the Northern Lights, is on most peoples wish lists and it should be because they are spectacular. I haven’t seen a photo that really does them justice and you truly feel like the skies are putting on a […]
A trip to Iceland isn’t really complete without a trip to one of their infamous hot springs and the most easily accessible is the Blue Lagoon near Reykjavik. It’s milky blue water and silica mud mask do wonders for your skin and you can spend […]

Our UK road trip started with a week at my parents’ new house in Herne Bay aka The Bay, where the sun always shines at some point during the day. We spent most the time with my wonderful crazy family that we miss terribly!
This beautifully quaint town in the Alsace region of France is the perfect weekend getaway in Europe. Be it for a romantic trip for two or a more relaxed girls trip, it is full of cobbled streets with small boutiques and delicious restaurants for you […]
In a world dominated by technology, sometimes we forget about the wonderful history that created the world we live in today. Castles are a moment of history halted in time, that can transport you back into the world of noble knights and daring queens. Here […]
I wouldn’t say that Cologne is a must do city trip but if you are doing a road trip of German or know that you will be close by I think it’s worth checking out. I know a lot of river cruises stop by Cologne […]
Amsterdam is known as the place of hens and stag dos, openly available weed, clogs and bikes but there is more to this city than just that. I certainly didn’t fall in love with Amsterdam as it was a bit too touristy for me but […]
Jamie Oliver’s restaurants have had varying levels of success over the years with Jamie’s Fifteen going from four down to two, leaving Cornwall and London as the last two. Well, I’m glad that they are still running for two reasons. One, the food is unassuming and […]
