The UK might be my home, but it doesn’t mean I don’t love exploring it! I have a whole section on Scotland here as well as a handful of posts on England, Wales and Northern Ireland!
If you’re looking for something truly off-beat to do in London, look no further than a Victorian sewage pumping station that’s being lovingly restored by a dedicated group of volunteers. I’ve got to be honest – I never thought I’d be writing a full blog post on a pumping station, yet here we are. And …
We love visiting Northumberland, just south of the border in England, but our past trips have always been along the coast. In fact, we love that area so much that we almost always stop somewhere as we’re passing through, and I’ve written about it quite extensively here. Now, it was finally time to head inland …
There are many places around the UK that I have completely overlooked. It’s not that I don’t want to spend time in my home country – far from it; look at how much I explore Scotland. But truthfully, it takes time to explore the UK. Cornwall is a nine hour drive from us, and we …
With Northumberland only being a couple of hours from our door, right over the border in England, it’s amazing that it took so long for us to finally check it out. But then isn’t that always the way? If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that some of the most surprising treasures …
I have a confession to make. In between all the rock, pop punk and metal music I normally listen to, there is one massive anomaly in my music habits: EUROVISION. I don’t remember how old I was when I started watching Eurovision, nor WHY I started watching it, considering it’s not something either of my …
When I met my friend in October to see her off back to Australia, we had a plan to see lots of odd places in London that we hadn’t been to before. We’ve both been to London countless times, seen all the landmarks over and over, and this visit was more about going off-beat and …
2020 was the year of staycations. 2021… is also going to be the year of staycations. If you’re wondering what a staycation is, the definition is a surprisingly controversial topic. For some, staycations are holidays within your own city; for others, they are holidays within your own country, whether it’s a hotel city break or …
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland, with a focus on the famous North Coast 500 route. We were doing it all on a budget, which meant taking my car and camping in a tent as we went. Luckily, camping in Scotland is made even easier …
In the years we’ve now lived in Edinburgh, I’ve cultivated a solid list of favourite pubs, bars and eateries. While Glasgow certainly ticks all the nightlife boxes and gets most of the attention on that front, it’s for that reason that I’d like to share some of Edinburgh’s quirky, unusual and unique spots – especially …
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland. My friend had wanted to do the North Coast 500 road trip; and being that she had never been to Scotland outside of Edinburgh, I wanted to make sure we hit up some of the highlights of my beautiful …
