Back in March I visited Oslo, the capital of Norway. It was a pricey adventure, but a very unique one. I don’t think I’ll visit a city like it ever again, because you don’t see many places with frozen harbours. Norway prides itself on its natural beauty. It’s their number one tourist attraction. The epic […]
48 hours in Dubai
Dubai has a reputation as a city of superlatives. Huge malls, towering skyscrapers, kilometres of sandy beaches and year-round sunshine have defined it as a top destination on the world scale. But it’s not all about burning around the desert in a Lamborghini or knocking back cocktails by the pool. On a stopover during a recent […]
My 7 Links – The Best of 48 Hour Adventure
The other night, I got a direct message on Twitter from Kieron and Amy over at Don’t Ever Look Back (who are only two and a bit weeks away from their RTW trip!) telling me they’d nominated me to take part in something called “My 7 Links”. I checked out their post and then inquisitively […]
European Airlines Reviewed
As a result of darting about all over Europe for the last year and a half, I’ve chalked up a fair few miles on a lot of different airlines. Doing lots of weekend trips has meant not only cheap-as-chips easyJet and Ryanair flights but also pleasant journeys with the likes of bmi, British Airways and […]
Featured Photo – Budapest
Hungary has a long and decorated history regarding how it came to be as a country. At the end of Andrassy Avenue in Budapest, you’ll find one of the most important squares in Budapest that signifies everything about Hungary’s old history in one massive space. In the Heroes Square (Hungarian: Hosok Tere), the tribal origins, national […]
How to prepare for your first solo weekend trip
While you’re perusing this site, I hear you say “but Justin, I’ve never done a solo weekend trip to Berlin, or Paris, or Copenhagen before. I don’t know what to expect. What if I get mugged, scammed or I lose my passport? Or I *insert other doomsayer scenario here*?!” Well mate, that’s half the fun […]
Bergen – Norway’s Best Kept Secret
Like I mentioned in 48 hours in Oslo, Norway conjures up thoughts of fjords and amazing mountainous landscapes. Oslo is a great starting point, but there’s another place in Norway you should visit that opens up the amazing features everyone thinks about. Bergen is where I’m talking about baby, and it’s got it all going on for […]

The whole aim of this blog is to help you, the seasoned city pavement pounder, to put down the pints on the weekend and see the world on your weekends -Â LOOK OUT ALLITERATION OVERLOAD – yeah, that’s how I roll. Now I’ve got your attention haven’t I? I am a massive advocate for exploring outside […]
48 hours in Budapest
Budapest has undergone a lot of transformations in its long and chequered history. From Turkish occupation, to the Habsburgs, to the Nazis and Communists, Hungary has copped it all. They’ve come out on top though, and the result if crowning glory of Budapest. Hungarians really like foosball. And palinka. Don’t know what palinka is? Well […]
A great reason why you should visit Brussels
Brussels has some compelling reasons to go visit. It’s the home of great tasting, mega strong beers, delicious chocolate and it’s the home of Tintin! It’s 2 hours on Eurostar from London, which makes it super accessible as well. One of the great parts of Brussels is the Grand Place, (or Grote Markt in Dutch) […]
