Having travelled with a backpack in Europe and Asia, it is safe to say that I have made my fair share of mistakes when it has come to packing, but I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks along the way too! I would have been lost without the below items, so without further adieu,…Continue Reading “Packing Essentials”
For anyone that knows me, they know that I like to travel around places that are a little less popular or well known. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy large tourist attractions like the Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower, but exploring countries in places like Eastern Europe is more exciting for me because…Continue Reading “Roadtrip Around Lake Constance, Switzerland and Bavaria”
Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival Palace on a hill above the village of Hohenschwangau in Southwest Bavaria, Germany. Built by Ludwig II of Bavaria, the castle was intended as a home for the king, until he died in 1886. It was open to the public shortly after his death. This castle is roughly 2.5…Continue Reading “Visiting Neuschwanstein Castle”
When I decided to book a trip to Copenhagen recently I couldn’t help but plan a day trip to Malmö to see what Sweden was like. Much like when I visited Tallinn and took a day trip to Helsinki, I wanted to visit another country on this trip also and really feel like I made…Continue Reading “A Day In Malmö”
For my final trip this year I decided to get out of my comfort zone and book a surprise trip to Bruges for my boyfriend and I. The reason it was out of my comfort zone was because for some unknown reason I’ve never been overly compelled to visit Belgium. There isn’t any real reason…Continue Reading “A Weekend In Bruges”
With the wonder that is Ryanair, my friend and I managed to bag flights to Cologne for only €19.99 return. There were just two catches to our trip. The first being that the trip was mid week, the second catch being that the trip was only for 24 hours – you get what you pay…Continue Reading “24 Hours In Cologne”
On a recent trip to Estonia, I was adamant to visit Helsinki while I was there. These two countries are surprisingly only an hour and a half apart by boat when you take the Linda Line Express. This ferry which costs €35 return is for passengers only, but there are plenty other ferry lines which…Continue Reading “A Day In Helsinki”
Tallinn, Estonia is definitely an under rated city in Europe. Having not known many people who have gone there (only one person to be honest!) we blindly made a decision to go – and I’m so happy we did! I will pull no punches and say that there isn’t a huge amount of things to…Continue Reading “Discovering Tallinn Old Town”
Have you ever seen the film Eurotrip? The film from 2004 documents a group of teenagers travelling across Europe where they end up in Bratislava. This is the only time I was ever really exposed to Bratislava on TV and let me tell you – it is not a good depiction of how amazing the…Continue Reading “24 Hours In Bratislava”
There is so much to do in Lisbon it might not occur to you to take a day trip from there. But if you have an extra day to spare, I would highly recommend taking time out to visit the wonder that is Sintra. Sintra is a resort town at a foothill of the Sintra…Continue Reading “A Day In Sintra”
