My Travel Story

I always think of my travel story as starting at 18 when I went off on my first big solo adventure around South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand; but actually it started WAY before that at the grand old age of 15 months when my mum took me on my first holiday to Lincolnshire. […]

Budapest Alternative Walking Tour

Our original intention was to meet with the Budapest Alternative Walking Tour on day one of our trip, however not adverse to going off plan (and getting too distracted by the pretty sights along the Danube) we missed our departure time.

Budapest Day 1 – Walking The Danube

  Though there was an hour wait we were happy to grab a coffee from Kontakt its sister place across the street. The coffee was fantastically bold and fragrant giving me a much needed pick me up. After what seemed like no time at all we were seated at a basic box style stable in the […]

Travel Diary Salton Sea

I am a huge fan of post-apocalyptic films; they indulge my fascination with how it might all end and the fragility of human existence. During my road trip I felt like I got one step closer to experiencing what the world would look like if it was to suddenly be taken out when Pablo and I stopped […]

10 Alternative Things To Do In Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a city renowned for debauchery, ladies of the night and, for the more cultured: museums, art, and Anne Franks house – but once those attractions are ticked off your list where do you go from there? I am not one to follow the crowd, but I do think a good mix of  tourist […]

What To Do In Amsterdam Noord

Just a short (and free) ferry from Amsterdam’s Centraal station “A Place Beyond Belief” can be found. This is literally the sign that stick out from the water on entering Amsterdam Noord, the area which was once the largest shipyard in Europe. Stepping off the jetty the remnants of the once abandoned warehouses have been transformed […]
