Short break guides and travel advice to motivate and inspire

Review of YOTEL London Gatwick Airport

by

I’ve done more than my fair share of 6am or 7am flights from London’s airports and I’ve gotta say, getting yourself there on time so bloody early in the morning is far from an enjoyable experience. When we found ourselves with a 7am flight to Greece for our holiday recently, we thought “hang on, getting […]

Experiencing ANZAC Day in Gallipoli

by

The main reason I went to Istanbul was to go to Gallipoli for ANZAC Day. To experience the Australian national day of remembrance in the most sacred of battlefields was an opportunity I had to jump on. Intrepid Travel kindly provided a tour for Chris and I for the day after we arrived in Istanbul, and we […]

48 hours in Istanbul

by

Last month Chris from The Aussie Nomad and I travelled to Turkey with Hostelbookers and Intrepid Travel. We spent a few days in Istanbul during our time in-country as well, so I’ve managed to bring together all the unmissable stuff for you in our bread-and-butter 48 hour Guide format. Istanbul is a city of contrasting […]

Taking the sea route for a weekend in Amsterdam

by

I’ve been to Amsterdam my fair share of times. For rave parties in Almere or lads parties in the Red Light District, I’ve traipsed up and down the canals of the Dutch capital more times than most. When an opportunity came my way to visit the city again during a weekend but taking an alternative […]

Need a fitness kickstart? How about a weekend bootcamp in Yorkshire?

by

So usually around here we only write about far flung, beautiful destinations with amazing food, historic sights and thumping nightlife. When I was asked to try an Easter weekend bootcamp in North Yorkshire I thought “alright then, I’ll show you how it’s done”. Next thing I know, I’m on a train to York to undertake […]

Wondercool Copenhagen – Culinary Delights and Amazing Architecture

by

After experiencing lumpfish roe delicacies and cinematic scenes in a church as part of Wondercool Copenhagen, we were ready for day two in Denmark’s capital. Having enjoyed a comfortable night’s sleep in the Admiral Hotel, we were up early to see what all the fuss was about in a newly developed area of Copenhagen not far from […]

48 Hour Adventure does ANZAC Day in Gallipoli!

by

I’m super stoked to announce that fellow Aussie blogger Chris from The Aussie Nomad and I are headed to Turkey at the end of this month for ANZAC Day! We’ll be travelling to a bit of a sacred place for Aussies, and we’re really excited about it. The hills of ANZAC Cove shortly after dawn. Photo […]

Tearing it up in Hamburg at the Generator

by

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in my time in Europe it’s that there’s no shortage of cities to dash off to with your mates for a cheeky weekend to sample the local nightlife. With most of the Western European metropolises being on the well-trodden path of revellers, you don’t have to look far to […]

Wondercool Copenhagen – Cycling, caviar and watching movies in church

by

When a city such as Copenhagen already hosts seven amazing festivals all year round, how do you attract visitors during the colder, winter months to your Northern European metropolis? Wondercool Copenhagen is the result – a melting pot of the best of all these festivals to create one “taster” of an event in February. Combining everything […]
