Hot off the back of the trip with bmi to Moscow last week, I’m stoked to announce another sojourn into Europe for 48 Hour Adventure. This time I’m off with four other bloggers/writers to SkÃ¥ne county on the south coast of Sweden! SkÃ¥ne (pronounced skorr-naa) is home to the cities and towns of Malmö, Helsingborg and Ystad […]
48 hours in Edinburgh
This week I’m featuring our very first guest post! Bringing you the lowdown on 48 hours in the lovely and lively Scottish capital of Edinburgh is Kate Hopper. Ahh Edinburgh, land of tablet, haggis, bagpipes, castles and kilts, marauding stags and hens, drunken comedians and student thespians. Right? Well, yes, but there is more to […]
Oslo – A City in Pictures
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
London, you’re all kinds of rad
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) […]
Featured Photo – Venice
This featured photo comes from Venice, the world famous romantic city in Italy. I visited Venice back in February and wrote about 48 hours there and was impressed by the amazing architecture, the quirky way the canals cut the city and the great food. I’ve highlighted the Doge’s Palace here as it’s one of the […]
Guimarães – Portugal’s Heartland
As soon as I pulled into this town, I didn’t immediately get the impression it was as steeped in history as I’d read about. I saw a shopping centre and the usual civilised European transport infrastructure. It wasn’t until we parked up the car on an incline and ended up facing two rows of not-quite-parallel […]
