Throwback: A Short Trip to Stockholm
Last December my mum, brother and I went on a short weekend break to Stockholm. When I say short, I really mean it! It was more of a whistle stop tour of the city than an actual city break, but we still got to see and experience enough to make it a worthwhile trip. We landed…

What I Miss About Living in London
Life in Sydney is great, don’t get me wrong. The weather is great (this is a big thing for anyone from England). Even in winter the sun always shines and you can walk around in a t-shirt most days. You’ve got countless beaches on your doorstep and loads of places to explore outside of the…

A Little Trip to Ljubljana
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia is one of the nicest cities I’ve visited and was the 3rd stop on my inter-rail tour last summer. I instantly fell in love with the city and it’s people and was so glad to be spending nearly a week in the country. Ljubljana is super small for a capital…

I Love Berlin
I’ve just returned from an amazing (and stupidly freezing) trip to Berlin! I’ve been to Germany a fair few times and it’s one of my favourite European countries, but prior to this trip I’d never been to Berlin. I’d heard so many amazing things about the city, especially the night life, and I was so excited to…

Second Stop: 24 Hours in Vienna
Due to some bad planning/ incorrect train timetables online, we only had around 20 hours to spend in Vienna. We did a complete whirlwind tour of the city and managed to see some of the main sites – albeit very quickly! We arrived into Vienna in the late morning and by the time we had booked…

First Stop: Prague
The first stop on our interrail tour was Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. I’d heard amazing things about Prague from friends who had visited, so my expectations were pretty high. We arrived late on the Friday evening, so there was no time to do anything other than check in and go to bed. We…

Interrailing 2016: The Logistics
I’ve just returned from the most amazing 17 day interrail trip around Eastern Europe and am seriously suffering from the post-holiday blues. I went with 10 (yes 10) friends and, despite one argument, the trip went swimmingly. We started our trip in Prague then made our way to Bucharest via Vienna, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Zagreb…

The London List: Eating
It’s been a while since I’ve done a food post, so I’ve gathered together a couple of foodie recommendations! When I first moved to London I regularly featured my restaurant suggestions and favourite places to eat, and this has started to slip in recent months. This is mainly due to the fact that I’ve now found my favourite places…

Inter-railing: Planning My Trip
In less than 1 month I’m off with a group of 10 (yes 10) friends for an 18 day inter-rail trip around Eastern Europe! To say I’m excited is an understatement!! I’ve been lucky enough to have visited the majority of Western Europe, but for me Eastern Europe has remained relatively untouched. So, in an attempt to…

Exploring Brixton
I’ve been living in London for almost 2 years and for the past 10 months Brixton has been my home. When I tell people I live in Brixton a concerned expression always passes over the faces of those who don’t know the area. Visions of the 1980s riots still cloud their minds and many assume…
