In November I headed to Budapest for a three night break. In part one of my travel diary from the trip (which you can read here) my ears had popped on the flight and never unpopped and I sneezed my way around Buda. We’d just gone to bed on evening two of our trip, I… Continue reading Budapest travel diary part two | Thermal spas and ruin bars
Budapest is a city Rob and I have wanted to visit together for a long time; Rob’s grandmother is Hungarian, you see, but he’d never actually been, so our trip in November was a long time coming and very eagerly anticipated (me for the gram, Rob for the goulash. Or something like that). Since there… Continue reading Budapest travel diary part one | Buda, views and igloos
It's fair to say that I was more than a little enamoured with Gdansk. It’s a wonderfully pretty and colourful city, as well as being interesting enough to get your culture on and, very importantly, it has a great vibe. Oh, the vibe; so vague, I know, but it's one of those places that just feels nice… Continue reading How to spend a weekend in Gdansk
Winter city breaks are one of my favourite things, and this year I was lucky and/or stupid enough to book two of them, two weekends in a row. The second one of those – that also happened to fall on the first weekend of December – was to Gdansk. I’d never really thought about visiting… Continue reading A festive weekend in Gdansk (and why it makes the perfect December destination)
I absolutely love a good city break; they’re such a brilliant way to fit travel around full time work, are always good fun and tend to be relatively affordable since they’re not too long. I’ve been lucky enough to go on some really great ones over the past few years - but there’s always somewhere… Continue reading A European city break wishlist
If I had to say what I liked most about Rhodes, I would say this: it makes an excellent relaxing holiday for people who are bad at relaxing holidays. To explain that, then...even when I really want to relax, I am pretty useless at the sunny holidays where you lie by the pool or on… Continue reading A week in Rhodes: holiday highlights
I've included Vegan in the title of this blog post because the things I eat are vegan, but just as a small reminder at the start; vegan food is just food. It's not some kind of alien space fodder that other humans can't eat, so this is still 'food in Rhodes Town', it just so happens… Continue reading Where to eat vegan in Rhodes town
Recently I did something I haven't done for a while, and went on a sun holiday. You know, when you stay in one place and wear swimwear basically every day and do some sunbathing. If you follow me over on Instagram you'll probably be aware of that because I was a totally annoying holiday dickhead… Continue reading Holiday Lookbook: A week in Rhodes
For my birthday this year, I got The Bergen Railway. Well...I got a ticket for it. And if you think getting a train ticket for your birthday doesn’t sound exciting, then think again my friend, because this isn’t a standard journey; it’s one of the world’s most scenic train rides, your ‘thing to do’ for… Continue reading The Bergen Railway
Bergen was our last stop when we went to Scandinavia earlier this year, so it's about time I got round to talking a bit more about it. Charming and colourful despite being renowned for its rainfall, Norway's second-largest city is a fantastic place to base yourself if you want to see the Fjords, and lovely… Continue reading Three nights in Bergen
