I’ve sweltered in Boston’s humid summers and I’ve crunched the golden brown leaves as I’ve walked its Autumn, but I’ve never seen Boston in the midst of winter. London hasn’t snowed this year, but Boston’s had the brunt of it. The snow storms cancelled flights and trapped people indoors. But this is the beautiful side … Continue reading

The reality of a long distance relationship
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
Inside Anne Frank’s House
Forced to tiptoe silently, cooped up in a safehaven within Amsterdam’s streets when she longed to be free, all this teenage girl had to keep her sane was the power of words. She wrote in her diary constantly, moulding it into her best friend when she was prevented from a regular life. You could tell … Continue reading
Ode to Oz: my favourite photos of Australia
As Australia Day ends for the Aussies, I’ll continue the love on the other side of the world, here in the UK. These are some of my favourite photos I took in Australia, and with them came the best experiences of my life. Enjoy :) The people I met made this country … Continue reading
The Aussie Dictionary
Alright guys, the jig is up. Busted. I’m telling. Sorry Aussies, we Brits love you (as does the rest of the world), but we need to understand you. As a run up to Australia Day (put it in your diaries, it’s tomorrow, Sunday 26 January 2014!), I thought I’d do as I do every year: … Continue reading
Return to The London Dungeon: what’s changed?
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
Summer ’14: West Coast Canada & USA
I am very, extremely, ecstatically happy to announce my travel plans for late August into early September. West Coast summer fun starting in Vancouver, ending in San Francisco. Now, yes, you may think I do North America a lot. Truth is, of course I do, I have an American boyfriend I do long distance with. … Continue reading
Where to go in Provincetown
You have so many places to choose from in Cape Cod, but I dare you to drive right to the tip to Provincetown. It’s perfect for a weekend as it’s so small, but you won’t run out of things to do, especially with the history it has behind it. Welcome to Provincetown and your guide … Continue reading
A Czech-English Christmas
The festive period is well and truly over (Happy New Year, everyone!) – but why should that stop us reflecting over the good vibes in this rainy January? I’m half Czech, so my Christmas has a few cultural quirks (in the eyes of British traditions) which I’m very fond of. The Czech comes from my … Continue reading
Boston’s new hangout: Seaport
Boston and I have taken our relationship to the next level. It’s not just about the excitement of new areas anymore; we’re close enough to know that I love the city not just on face value. I’m getting to know the individual parts that make up Boston, and I happened to appear on the scene … Continue reading
