Did you know… the London Eye’s pods/capsules each represent a London borough. Do you know how many boroughs there are? 32. Did you know… Cleopatra’s Needle has two Sphinx on either side to guard it… but they’re facing toward the needle, which is the wrong way. A Sphinx is meant to face away (makes sense, … Continue reading
Pssst…. pssssssssssst… a little bit closer… Ok. I’ll confess something: I went to the London Coffee Festival and I’m not a full coffee convert. I prefer tea and the smell of black coffee upsets me. Now, before you hate me, call me traitor and burn me as a witch, I have tried. I live in … Continue reading
Travel is essentially the centre of my life: my job is in travel, my passion is travel, this blog is travel and my boyfriend lives across an ocean, in Boston, USA (for anyone who doesn’t know, I’m from London, UK) and we met while living in Australia. I get a lot of different reactions when … Continue reading
I don’t like being scared. I will easily admit that I, Kirsten, a 22 year old woman, am a wimp. But I’m also an odd kind of wimp: an irrational wimp. Horror films are terrifying and if anyone’s watching one, I’ll happily leave rather than endure it resulting in nightmares later. But things like bungee … Continue reading
The British are known for many things. We have a bunch of stereotypes and associations, good and bad. Tea, red buses and phoneboxes, bad teeth (I’ll bare my teeth at any of you who think this is true to prove you wrong!), reserved, prudish and awfully posh are just some. Two of my favourites from … Continue reading
Did you know… Never ask a reindeer owner how many reindeer he owns. It was a cold evening… and if you’re going to be cold, might as well imagine you’re in Lapland, right? And where else is better to do that than London’s Ice Bar with Cosmos Holidays? Exactly. We’re on the same wavelength. The … Continue reading
It’s that time of year again where we all complain about it getting dark so early, exclaiming, “It’s only 4:30! Just a month ago it’d be light until 6!” If you’re anything like me, you get extremely lazy to even go out anymore. It’s dark, cold, somehow the weird people are on the streets again … Continue reading
I’m not making it up, I promise. Ok, I admit, until I go to Boston/Cape Cod in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS, I don’t have an entirety of actual destinations to write about. But reverse culture shock is a topic that I’ve wanted to talk about for a while, because until I was hit by a … Continue reading
For a few months now I haven’t had much going on travel-wise. We can blame that on running out of money and graduating from university – and the exhaustion of trying to find a job that comes with it, of course. BUT… there are plans coming together that I’m very excited to do and write … Continue reading
I say snooping, because I’m probably not cool or “hip” enough to be around here. But this is where I got my internship, so here I am, exploring the streets of Shoreditch whether the trendsetters like it or not! I should note: I actually quite like Shoreditch and have been meaning to go on some … Continue reading
Kirst over the World
