A while after you get back from a trip, you start to see which things truly stuck with you. For me in light of my trip last month to Berlin, this is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, or Holocaust Memorial. It’s become a recognisable icon in Berlin, with the imposing grey slabs, … Continue reading
Ever wondered what it might be like to be covered head to toe in colour? Ever thought you might literally roll down a blue-powdered hill, just to get every smattering of colour on you possible? I have. And I did. This wish of mine probably stems from the same thing as it would to any … Continue reading
By this headline, I mean: Where is MY love for London? If you read my Cities are my Boyfriends post, you’ll know I’ve been struggling with my lifetime relationship with London. I’ve been born and bred here. I’ve had stints in different cities, like Norwich, and different countries, like Australia, but now I’ve been back … Continue reading
So, since I went to Berlin last month, I’m pretty smitten. Take a look at my posts on Berlin so far on its history here and on its hipster vibe and street art here. I took a lot of photos (as always…) and I put up a few on my Instagram (@kpowley). Take a seat, … Continue reading

And don’t get me started on ugly carpets… I can’t stand ugly carpets. Don’t get me wrong, I can do basic, and it’s necessary to do … Continue reading
A city might make an impact on you, large or small. Sometimes you don’t realise it, sometimes you do. Berlin is absolutely one of those cities where you know exactly how big an impact it has, and why. The history. Of course, everyone knows the history surrounding Berlin. I don’t need to explain that it … Continue reading
I always knew Berlin was going to be cool. But as my trip loomed closer, I wondered how prominent was the ‘cool’? Would I be able to see what everyone was on about? Was Berlin even actually that cool, or would I be disappointed when all my secret hipster dreams didn’t come true? Just to … Continue reading
Now that I finally have time to catch up on this whirlwind 2 weeks where I’ve been away to Berlin and been an (ahem) excellent tour guide to an American around London, I’m going to be VERY SOON bringing you new posts on my thoughts and adventures. But for now, I want to take you … Continue reading
I’ve intentionally led your minds to something dirty. Sorry for the inevitable anti-climax. Or is it? Because I don’t know about you, but I find Australia’s Big Things pretty exciting (read: hilarious). Let me explain for those who don’t know of this phenomenon.
