Hey everyone, So sorry I've been on hiatus for a while. I've still been going on holiday but I got a bit behind on blog posts and suddenly the whole prospect of writing them up seemed really daunting. I've currently got seven posts sitting in my drafts; some started, some not. That number could also… Continue reading An Apology
Bremen, Germany
Bremen felt much smaller than some of the other cities I have visited. It felt like a teeny, traditional place which had some wonderful back alleys to explore. I chose it because it seemed to have many interesting statues interspersed throughout the city and some historic buildings. Read on to see more... When I arrived,… Continue reading Bremen, Germany
Rimini, Italy
So, I've been putting this post off for a long time. And I think that on reflection, this is because Rimini was the most touristic destination I have travelled to so far. I decided to travel here as I had some last-minute annual leave to use up and the ticket cost me just £16 return!… Continue reading Rimini, Italy
Gothenburg, Sweden
When you think of Sweden, what springs to mind? There are so many cultural symbols of Sweden and Gothenburg did not disappoint. From its heritage trams, iconic 'fish church' and parks with moose and elk, there is so much to explore. I had slightly underestimated what it would be like in comparison to Stockholm, but… Continue reading Gothenburg, Sweden

It just feels so classy. Of course, with Scandinavian travel comes Scandinavian prices, but is it really as… Continue reading Oslo, Norway
St. Julian’s, Malta
Malta was a very interesting stay. It is a wonderful melting pot of many different cultures and this is definitely apparent in the written language. I always love to learn some of the lingo before travelling, but learning Maltese seemed like it would be virtually impossible as it looked so incomprehensible to me, given its… Continue reading St. Julian’s, Malta
Seville, Spain
It's true that there are oranges aplenty in Seville. They do not quite look as juicy and edible as you'd imagine but they are very pretty fruit trees, lining the streets with vivid colour everywhere you turn. Seville would be a dream for those who love architecture such as traditional stone buildings, horse-drawn carriages (*more… Continue reading Seville, Spain
Verona, Italy
Verona is known as the 'city of love,' given its connections to Shakespeare's renowned play, Romeo & Juliet, the star-crossed lovers. The city is jam-packed with people wanting to visit the infamous balcony and statue of Juliet (or Giulietta in Italy) as well as the home of her modern-day secretaries who were publicised in the… Continue reading Verona, Italy
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Belfast was my very first holiday which inspired all my further travels. It was my first adventure which triggered my love of travelling solo. Northern Ireland ticked some boxes for me when I was first starting out my solo travels, until my sister decided she wanted to come along! Belfast meant: cheap flights, minimum air… Continue reading Belfast, Northern Ireland
