Travel is a little bit like fashion – some years certain countries are more ‘in vogue’ than others, and others are cast to the side, readily awaiting their rise to the top again in a few years time. I’ve seen a lot of lists the past few weeks for the best travel destinations of the […]
5 Good Reasons To Visit Krakow
January 24, 2012 by 4 Comments
Krakow is one cool city. I never really knew much about it before I visited last year, but now I can’t stop telling everyone I meet about how much I loved it. Not only is it cheap thanks to the Polish Zloty, but there’s so much to see, eat, drink and do that you’ll be […]

It’s nearly time for Santa to show up at your house demanding some cake and a beer in exchange for your presents (Well, that’s what happens at our house), and nothing gets me more into the festive cheer more than a Christmas market. Vienna is one of my favourites – I loved seeing all the […]
Photo Of The Week – London Fashion Street

As you may know, I love street art, and recently I went on a tour around London’s east end to see some of the city’s best pieces – from Banksy’s political satire, right through to the colourful little ‘critter’ tiles by Invader that seem to be staring down at you when you least expect it. […]
The Museum Of Broken Relationships – Not Your Average Collection!
September 5, 2011 by 17 Comments
Walking into the Museum of Broken Relationships, the travelling collection of objects sent in to its curators from heartbroken lovers all around the world, thrusts you into a world of insecurity, fear, paranoia, and in some cases, revenge – It’s like you accidentally opened a door to a room full of strangers sitting around pining […]

Whether its modern, fine, abstract or street art that you love, travel will always provide you with a new fix no matter where you visit – but there’s no doubt that some cities in the world are more famous for their art than others. I’m a huge art fan, so whenever I travel I like to check out unusual […]
Photo Of The Week – The Lights Of Lille At Christmas
July 22, 2011 by 5 Comments
Everyone loves Christmas – for me it’s about the food, presents and family, and seeing as it’s almost six months until the big day I wanted to share one of my favorite snaps taken at the Lille Christmas fair a couple of years ago. Even though the weather was blustery and drab, the streets were lit up with […]
Getting Drunk On Epernay: The Perfect Long Weekend
July 12, 2011 by 6 Comments
Being a huge Champagne drinker (and lover) it’s probably no surprise that I absolutely loved spending a long weekend in the home of bubbles, France’s Epernay. While it was a stunning village with gorgeous architecture and gardens, it was also Champagne – so what else is a girl to do when faced with the best […]
Weird Finnish Sporting Events
July 4, 2011 by 3 Comments
Forget marathons or triathlons, in Finland sporting events get an alternative makeover. With such events as mosquito swatting and wife carrying you’d be forgiven for thinking these championships were a bit of fun, but strangely enough the competitors take their sports very seriously. Most events occur over the summer months throughout Finland, and people from […]
Photo Of The Week – The Auschwitz Death Wall
July 1, 2011 by 8 Comments
Not a time in history that any of us like to remember, but one that we must – Auschwitz will go down as being the most brutal and cruel concentration camps of World War II. Visiting the camp on a blustery Autumn day last year the sheer size of the camp left me not only […]
