I’ve recently had the fortune and stroke of luck to have been nominated for 2 blogging awards: Liebster (twice!!) and Versatile Blogger. (YAY!) I’ve heard about Liebster Awards for a while and now, thanks to the lovely Ayla of Mrs Ayla’s Adventures AND Hayley of Rare Birds Fly, I’ve been nominated! Thank you :) I’ve … Continue reading
I’m very particular about hotels. I dislike anything run down or that looks like I’m shacking up with a lover, running away from a marriage to a sleezy motel. 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
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. Dotted around Australia are statues of Big Things. What sort of things, … 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
Cities are like relationships. I meet a place, get some first impressions – like I would a boy. I get to know a place, get some surprises or confirm my thoughts – like I would a boy. And just like I’ve gone and go through highs and lows with my personal relationships with boyfriends past … Continue reading
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
I love going through old pictures. Even way back when of travels I can only just remember – it’s always so fascinating to know you’ve seen amazing places through such young eyes. Last time I gave you the Pyramids of Egypt, and this time it’s an equally unique site in southwest Turkey: Pamukkale, the travertine … Continue reading
Rule number something-or-other of travel (or any type of) blogging: find a niche. Harness that niche. Now, is it just me or can this be slightly limiting? Don’t get me wrong, there are great bloggers who have slotted perfectly and naturally with theirs, and this post isn’t about slamming them – hats off to them, … Continue reading
