Venice is one of the most unique places in Europe – but it’s also one of the busiest, with tourists descending on the sinking city in their thousands every single day. It’s a city that a lot of people don’t expect to love, and depending on your experience, your expectations could be right. Me? I …
“I have really f*cked up. Oh my God… David, I have REALLY f*cked up.” “Clazz… where are we???” My friend David had brought up Google maps and was frantically zooming out. “Erm… Clazz, where is Dusseldorf??!” It was 11.30pm and we had arrived in Germany. Moments earlier, I’d been preparing to jump on a train …
In November, I finally visited Poland for the first time! One of our best friends wanted to go somewhere for Christmas markets, and we mused over various German destinations before I piped up that we could do something different and go to Poland. None of us had been to Poland before, and most of the …
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 …
Budapest is famous for its thermal spa baths all over the city, but two in particular are popular with tourists: Szechenyi and Gellert. I’ve written about both briefly in my post about Budapest, as my friend and I ended up visiting both after we couldn’t choose which would be the best to visit – and …

I’ve just returned from a spontaneous trip to Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania. Why Kaunas? Quite simply, a) because there were cheap flights, b) they worked for a long weekend for which I had one day’s holiday left to take at work, and c) I’ve never been to Lithuania before! Truthfully, I’d never …
From Kenya, we traversed the border to Tanzania to continue our dream African safari trip – and somehow, it was about to get even better. I’ve dreamed of visiting the Serengeti ever since I watched the Lion King when I was five (fun fact: it was the first film I went to see in the …
Originally, we weren’t planning to visit Kenya at all. We were planning our honeymoon in Tanzania, with a few days on safari followed by a few days of beach time in Zanzibar. After finding tours that started in Nairobi and visited both the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti, I started to think about whether we …
Whoa, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Two entire months, in fact, since I graced your presence with one of my delightful blog posts. In that time, I have been… busy. If you follow me on social media, you’ll probably know slightly more about what I’ve been up to! We finally went on our African …
