Belgrade was another eastern European city that really took me by surprise with its pretty architecture and funky bars and cafés. Like Sofia, I had literally zero expectations for Belgrade. It was a city that I had never planned to visit, and it was only when we arrived in the Serbian capital that I realised …
Over the past couple of years, I’ve been nominated for a handful of those circulating blogger awards (Liebster, Sunshine, and Versatile blogger, to name a few). Most bloggers don’t take them seriously – and they shouldn’t – but it’s still nice to be recognised by fellow bloggers who enjoy your work (and also nice to …
With virtually five days in Sofia, there was no doubt that I was going to get a Bulgarian day trip out of my time there. I was even planning two – but I didn’t know what to prioritise in case the second one didn’t work out (whiiiich… it didn’t). Two of the best day trips …
I have to admit: when it came to Sofia, Bulgaria’s historic capital, I felt unprepared. I had no expectations; in fact, if I’m going to be totally honest, I didn’t actually expect to enjoy the city all that much. I hadn’t even been planning to visit Sofia – I was originally planning a trip to …
London never struck me as a huge city for street art. Apart from the famous Banksy artworks and the iconic Camden buildings, I couldn’t have told you anything about any other murals in the city, or famous street art alleys like you have in Melbourne and San Francisco. But with the rise of the street …
I felt an overwhelming sense of calm as we made our way across Ireland to the charming city of Galway. I knew I’d made the right decision – instead of a day over in Dublin, I’d planned out a full weekend to include Galway, too. The nice thing about Galway was that I had nothing …
Earlier this month, I finally made it to Ireland! It seems crazy that after jetting off all over the world, I have only just set foot on our neighbouring isle for the first time. I have to admit – I wasn’t sure what to expect from Dublin, but it was definitely a city that took …
A few weeks ago, we jetted off to London for a weekend for the first time ever. It sounds stupid saying it like that; I’ve been to London more times than I can count (I would guess in the region of 60), yet I’d never spent the night there, and I’ve rarely seen it before …
I can’t believe I had never been to Ireland. We just spent the weekend across the water exploring one of our closest neighbours and had an absolutely great time. I realise that it’s ridiculous to write a blog post of first impressions (especially twelve of them) of a country that we spent two days in, but …
The first time I heard of Beltane Fire Festival, whenever that was, I knew I needed to go. It sounded crazy, fun, and most of all, unique. So when we moved to Edinburgh, Beltane went straight onto my list of things I needed to do this year. The thing is, I had no idea what …
