After such an amazing time in Sydney we were unsure as to whether any other city on our trip could beat it, but just from looking out of the window on the plane as we descended into Brisbane I immediately knew I was going to love it even more than Sydney. Taken from the aeroplane … Continue reading Brisbane, a relaxed, vibrant city you must visit
Singapore street art
As I was making a list of things to do in Singapore for the three days we were going to be staying there I realised my list was much smaller than that of Sydney, Bali and Thailand and other places I've been. There was Changi airport of course, Gardens by the Bay and the Marina … Continue reading Singapore street art
Bali, a place like no other
I spent 10 days in Ubud this year from the end of February to the beginning of March. I was apprehensive about what the weather would be like as it was technically still rainy season but it ended up being the perfect time to visit. The majority of the time is was incredibly hot and … Continue reading Bali, a place like no other
Sydney, the other side of the world
After we got over the intense jet lag from the 28 hour journey from London to Sydney and after we had settled in our lovely Airbnb just a 10 minute walk away from Bondi Beach we set out to explore the sunny city of Sydney. We headed down to Bondi Beach to see if it … Continue reading Sydney, the other side of the world
Brussels, the perfect city break
Last week I finally took a few days off work to visit the colourful city of Brussels. I had never been to Belgium before but I had heard great things about the waffles so I couldn't wait to give them a try. Our first priority when we arrived was finding some Belgian beer, we found … Continue reading Brussels, the perfect city break
Mauritius, a tropical paradise
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be flown out to Mauritius to attend my mum's wedding. I must admit I wasn't looking forward to the 12 hour direct flight from London to Port Louis, and it ended up being pretty terrible with multiple screaming babies on board, a half working tv screen, … Continue reading Mauritius, a tropical paradise
Why I won’t be returning to Rome
I went to Rome for a few days this summer and while it might be an unpopular opinion, I doubt I'll be returning to the city and here's why: So a few days before we arrived our Airbnb cancelled on us, we'd booked a lovely looking apartment in the city centre right near where our … Continue reading Why I won’t be returning to Rome
Robbed in Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro was always somewhere I'd always wanted to go and considering I was living in southern Brazil at the time, I couldn't not make the journey to the beautiful city. I was living in Florianópolis, in the state of Santa Catarina and although the two places look pretty close on the map, it … Continue reading Robbed in Rio de Janeiro
Living in sunny Seville
Being a languages student, as an obligatory part of my degree I spent 6 months living in Seville and 6 months living in Brazil (which I will do a separate post about). It was January of 2017 when I first arrived in Seville, with a couple of suitcases, no where to live and no idea … Continue reading Living in sunny Seville
Hong Kong’s iconic skyline
I only spent a short week in Hong Kong a few years ago, I was going to visit my cousin who had been living there for a year, and it's a place I have wanted to revisit ever since I left. It was one of the most fascinating cities I have ever had the pleasure … Continue reading Hong Kong’s iconic skyline
