As much as I try to dance around it, there’s one word that’s able to sum up the desolate, snowy landscapes of Iceland in December: magical. There’s something surreal about being in a place which has no bright lights or big buildings for as far as the eye can see. There’s not much manmade objects … Continue reading
Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve just come back from Iceland, visiting there for 4 nights and flying home Christmas Eve (a bit of a risk as I celebrate Christmas on the 24th so I’d have freaked out if my flight was delayed!). I have my own weird amalgamation of British and Czech Christmas traditions, and I … Continue reading
It’s going down. It’s about to get real competitive here, guys. It’s time. USA vs Canada… which is more attractive? Ding ding! …Ok, so I don’t really like plotting countries against each other in some weird old school boxing match scenario. Each country is amazing in its own unique way (aw). Having spent some time … Continue reading
As you may know, I recently went on a trip starting in Vancouver, Canada, travelling down to San Francisco, USA. We covered a lot, from ziplining on Grouse Mountain to perilous (kind of) hikes to waterfalls in Oregon and skydiving in California. We even saw a couple of Orcas on the way… There’s a lot … Continue reading
You might have guessed by now – exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C… exhibit D – that I found Oregon stunning. It’s not a place you’ll often find in Top 10/20/whatever lists of destinations you should see in the world, or possibly not even the US. But let me tell you something: Oregon is one … Continue reading
If you’ve been anywhere on this blog before, you’ll know I’m a bit obsessed with taking photos. I always have been; photos to me ingrain not only a moment and image in my mind, but a feeling. At university and while I lived in Australia, my walls were covered with photos of scenery, friends, family … Continue reading
Norway’s been a popular one for quite a while now. Probably a little something to do with it being exceptionally beautiful. It’s a place where ominous mountains and fjords meet cute towns and villages to make one frankly irresistable and dreamy destination. As you’ll see from the pictures, the mirror-like reflections and low-hung clouds amazed … Continue reading
In my recent excitement about going to Iceland in December – where it will undoubtedly be dark, snowy and cold (but you know… in a fun way) – I decided it was time to dig out the photos of when I last went to Iceland. It was in the summer of 2008 – a while … 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
Let me just start by saying: I love Instagram. It’s usually what I’m scrolling through when my boyfriend is telling me to get off my phone and properly focus on him – and I don’t see him often (since we do long distance), so that definitely takes this Instagram love into obsession category. These accounts … Continue reading
