Situated in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region, Lake Como is famed for its glorious natural beauty. Sat in the foothills of the Alps, the deep blue inverted “Y” shaped lake spans a huge area and is surrounded by rugged mountains that form the backdrop to the area’s rustic old towns. It’s no surprise that Lake Como […]
What better way to get your bearings in an unfamiliar city than way up high above the bustle of the traffic and march of pedestrians on the city streets? Surely London’s tallest building would be the place to visit? Well, not for me. I felt a little let down by The View From the Shard and […]
I flew over to Dublin for a quick weekend exploring the city and hitting up the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery. A friend of mine who lives out in Kuwait was over in the UK so we decided to meet up in the Irish capital. I’d arrived quite late on Friday night so we decided […]
I’ve always wanted to venture up to Edinburgh for its world renowned comedy festival, the Fringe. So when I was asked to test out a bit of tech and catch some live comedy, I jumped at the chance! I headed up from London late on Friday afternoon to meet up with a fellow travel blogger, […]
When you’ve got a limited number of holidays to take from work each year you soon realise that it’s super important to make use of as many extended weekends as you can to travel. Thankfully Europe is more accessible than ever and there are plenty of travel offers available to make the most of your […]
Day two of winging it in Brighton (thanks to Booking.com) started in the extremely early hours. I’d been recommended a new night of Latin & Balearic House at the Green Door Store near Brighton’s train station. The challenge was to go to see a style of DJ/band that I wouldn’t normally, now seeing as though […]
After being told on Friday morning that I’d be exploring Brighton for the weekend I rushed out from work and headed for the train station. Phone in hand and first nights accomodation booked at The Square, a boutique hotel sat facing one of Brighton’s green little squares. I’d used Booking.com’s app to book with just […]
Surprise! It’s Friday morning, I’ve just been sipping a strong black coffee in an attempt to wake myself up when I got the news that I’m off exploring sunny (hopefully!) Brighton this weekend! I’m leaving work this evening (Friday 3rd July) and hopping on the train to the South coast to complete a number of […]
The Shard and the view from the top (called The View From The Shard) or at least the view from the furtherest you can get to, is something that I’ve always wanted to do since the building was complete back in 2012. Like most things when you live somewhere you just don’t find yourself making […]
What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than being transported back to your childhood? Around every corner is a tiny surprise, a flashback to when you we’re young, where you find yourself saying out loud, “remember this!?” or “I had one of those!”. Wandering around the Museum of Childhood you’re not quite sure just […]
Drinking coffee in a gent’s public toilet? Doesn’t sound too appealing does it? Well ever since watching a programme on TV about an architect who bought a disused public toilet in Crystal Palace and turned it into a beautiful little city flat, I’ve been quite fascinated by these unique spaces that were once abandoned but […]
We picked a typically chilly, charcoal grey skied, winters day to head down to Greenwich to ride the London cable car, The Emirates Air Line. It has been one of those London “things that I want to do but haven’t got around to it yet” and it was time to tick it well and truly […]
