I want to shout it from the rooftops – I bloody LOVE Madeira! January always brings some winter blues, so we decided to go somewhere for my birthday. We wanted winter sun, I wanted somewhere that was already on my list, and we both wanted somewhere a bit different to the usual suspects like Tenerife …
My recent trip to Paris was, undeniably, a disaster from almost start to finish. This should have been one of the easiest trips I’d done all year; get down to London, stay the night, get up early for the Eurostar across to France, come back the following afternoon, and fly* home. *I suppose it should …
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Paris. Not that I need too much of an excuse to go back, but the perfect opportunity finally came up. I visited with a friend and we were on a mission: to find all the filming locations from Heartstopper! First off, this trip was a disaster. …
I’ve been meaning to put together lots of London photos for a while, as my last few visits have been spent enjoying taking photos of the city. As I’ve got more into photography, too, I’ve appreciated a lot more about different parts of London, and it’s taken me to areas that I haven’t thought to …
On my recent trip to Andorra, the plan was simple: fly in and out of Barcelona. Ryanair had different plans, however, as the return flight was coming up at a whopping £250. Firstly, WHO is paying that for a Ryanair flight?!? And secondly, fine, I’ll just fly home from Madrid instead – saving £200 and …
Andorra blew every expectation I had. A small town masquerading as a capital city, nestled in the mountains? That it certainly was – and I don’t think I appreciated just how beautiful that would make it. By the time I left, I wondered if Andorra La Vella is indeed Europe’s most scenic capital? And after …
In the past few months, I’ve visited three cities I don’t really like: Milan, Barcelona and Paris. Two of these were in passing, as part of larger trips. Paris was the one I was looking forward to the most – despite having a love/hate relationship with it, it’s been twelve years since my last visit, …
Well folks, it’s been a while since I did a Photo Friday post! In fact, I don’t think I managed to do any last year, as I was so busy with all the regular blog posts. I have edited and uploaded far more photos of Lake Como than I used in my last blog post, …
Over ten years ago, I visited Milan on one of my crazy day trips. I mostly remember going up to the rooftop of the Duomo, which was incredible although slippery, walking through the beautiful Galleria next door, and then setting off in search of food around Navigli, but instead being bamboozled by the tram system …
Have you ever heard of Transnistria? I can’t blame you if you haven’t. It’s a country that doesn’t exist. Transnistria, or Pridnestrovie as it’s called locally (full name Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, or PMR), is an autonomous breakaway region of Moldova that self-declared independence in 1992 after the fall of the Soviet Union. The only problem? …
