Prague, Czech Republic Prague and this postcard need little explanation. It’s actually not from anyone – we just have the postcard in the house. It’s not hard to see why, as it’s a beautiful image of Prague’s Old Town Square. To the left you can just about make out the Astronomical Clock – a view … Continue reading

Great Ocean Road: Beautiful Sights Not to Miss
I started this blog when I was studying in Australia in 2012, but I knew next to nothing about blogging. I forgot to post on it, I wasn’t very informative or descriptive and I would post about something weeks after it happened, like when I wrote about the Great Ocean Road. I’m not sure I … Continue reading
Postcard Perfect: Cape Town, South Africa
I don’t know if you remember, but I used to do a little feature called Postcard Perfect – obviously an ingenius play on ‘Picture Perfect’. Well: I’m bringing it back. I used to scan my photos, but my scanner became a little temperamental, and I realised I may not even be lucky enough to always … Continue reading
Riding Elephants, Cuddling Tigers & Swimming with Dolphins…?
A percentage of you – perhaps the majority – who’ve clicked on this post might have been attracted by the headline referring to three cute activities. Maybe they’re ones you’ve already done. Maybe they’re what you’d like to do in the future, or even planning on it. Another lot of you who clicked on this … Continue reading
East Anglia: the perfect place to get away from it all
I’ll never, ever say I’m a country sort of girl. I grew up in London and I feel weird without the hustle and bustle of a city. I like background sound, constant moving and frankly, I love getting irrationally pissed off at strangers. When I’m in London, I’m a woman on a misson: A to … Continue reading
Qaqortoq, Greenland: Inuits & Bee Keepers (sort of)
It was brimming with midges. Everywhere, these massive insects would be invading me, with no sense of personal space. I won’t say I didn’t mind. I did. With mosquitos, they love me, all over the world. I had no reason to suspect midges would think any differently, and I was already stinking with bug repellent … Continue reading
Where’s the London Love? Part 2: Views
So it’s another of those posts where I try to become at peace with London… or something like that. I’ve become tired with the city I’ve been born and bred in, and now I’m tired of being tired of it. Something has got to change, including my repetitious riddles. Travel and destinations aren’t always about … Continue reading
How I Learnt to Grow Up and Appreciate Travel
My parents must be confused. I was a grumpy little whatsit when I was younger on our holidays. And now I keep a travel blog (and pretty obsessive about it). We went on cruises every year since I was 10 years old (until about 18) and my biggest interest for a long time was making … Continue reading
In Pictures: Norway
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
The West Coast Canada/USA Itinerary
It’s less than one month until my west coast Canada/USA trip. Not that I’m counting or anything. I threw a lot of possibilities out there in my previous post when I announced the trip, but things are coming together now and I wanted to let you in on what I’ll be getting up to… Days … Continue reading
