As short-term travellers, we all vary in how we like to spend our time horizontal and in what way we hang our hat. Hotels can be a good option if you’re travelling as a couple (or want to treat yourself), but hostels are definitely the best way of copping some shut-eye on a weekend away […]
Featured Photo – Berlin
One of Berlin’s most recognisable landmarks, the Brandenburg Gate has been the focal point for many historically significant events in the past 100 years including the symbol of Nazi Germany, the erection of the Berlin Wall directly in front of it and the site of the famous speech by Ronald Reagan (“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down […]
48 hours in Graz
After giving you guys a sneak peak into Graz not long ago, I knew I needed to share more about this interesting student town in the southern part of Austria. I heard about Graz (just to set the record straight, it’s pronounced “Grah-tz“) through a mate in Australia who’d studied there. When I saw a […]
Top Weekend Destinations for 2011
With 2010 soon coming to a close, I’ve been thinking about where next in Europe I want to explore come the new year. With still loads of the continent left for me to travel and write about, I sat down and made a shortlist of cities I want to hit up once the weather becomes […]
48 hours in Bruges and Ghent
This post takes a bit of a different approach to a typical one – two towns in 48 hours you say? Are you mad kind sir?!

Copenhagen is billed as one of the most environmentally proactive, sustainable and gastronomically diverse cities in the world. It’s a Scandinavian city with its own unique identity and culture, boasting a vibrant mix of immigrant influenced boroughs and neighbourhoods that surround the historical medieval centre, home to the world’s oldest monarchy. They’re crazy about their […]
48 hours in Lisbon
Lisbon is a city that parties all night, is steeped in culture, is a bit rough around the edges and was the starting point of many great voyages of discovery. It’s southern European location allows it good weather through most of the year, making it a perfect place to escape the chill in London. It’s […]
Featured Photo – Oktoberfest
As one of the biggest ticket events I’d listed to see in Europe, it was an understatement that I was excited to go to Oktoberfest. About 10 of us headed over to Munich (via Geneva, and then Zurich on the way back..) for the opening weekend. The scene above is of the very first beers […]
Featured Photo – Marrakech
Last month I travelled with a bunch of fellow London based Aussie mates to Morocco to embark on a 4 day trek through the Atlas Mountains. We landed in Marrakech on our first day and got an opportunity to explore the expansive medina of the old town. Be prepared to lose yourself for a few […]
