Polska

POLAND | Tuesday, 12 Nov 2013 | Views [408]

Spending a week in Poland due to the fact that it was the cheapest flight out of Israel was a great idea! While the temperature difference to Israel was a joke it is so freaking cheap! My first few nights were spent in the royal capital of Krakow.... Read more >


Hebron, West Bank.

PALESTINE | Wednesday, 6 Nov 2013 | Views [283]

Okay, so I felt that my one day in Palestine deserved a seperate post. When I told my parents that I was going to Israel mum of course freaked. But I calmed her saying I wouldn't go if I didn't think I was safe. I mean Jerusalem yes, but the West ... Read more >


Israel - ישראל

ISRAEL | Tuesday, 5 Nov 2013 | Views [308]

For ages I've been saying to my parents 'no of course I won't be going to Israel. I'm not crazy'. Well last week I did a complete turn around and booked last minute flights to this conflicted country. And I am so glad I did! Israel is an amazing place ... Read more >

Apple Tea

TURKEY | Thursday, 31 Oct 2013 | Views [315]

Istanbul - the only city in the world placed on two continents. Europe and Asia. I'm not sure if it was just the people I met, the time of year, the vibe of the hostel or what but my time in Istanbul was a highlight on my trip. So much fun in one of ... Read more >


The Cyclades & the Acropolis.

GREECE | Thursday, 17 Oct 2013 | Views [256]

Italian bruschetta & wine

ITALY | Sunday, 6 Oct 2013 | Views [251]

OKTOBERFEST! OKTOBERFEST! OKTOBERFEST!

GERMANY | Monday, 30 Sep 2013 | Views [283]

Does anymore need to be said?   Day 1 was a Saturday and it was busy! We had no chance of getting into a beer tent but had fun watching all the drunk people vomiting, stumbling, crying and passed out on 'hammered hill'. We ended up in the ... Read more >


Crowded Catalonia

SPAIN | Friday, 27 Sep 2013 | Views [267]

So imagine our surprise when we cruise into Barcelona further practising our Spanish only to find out that they don't use Spanish at all. Catalan is the language used and is a mix of Portuguese, Italian & French! And they replied rudely in English ... Read more >


Hola, Madrid!

SPAIN | Monday, 23 Sep 2013 | Views [274]

Paris. Round two.

FRANCE | Monday, 2 Sep 2013 | Views [192]

Being in Paris as a backpacker is certainly a different experience to going with my parents a few years ago! I was completely shocked by drink prices, it was not possible to eat on the Champ Élysées, I was pickier about which sights ... Read more >

Grungy Berlin

GERMANY | Wednesday, 7 Aug 2013 | Views [566]

A friend tried to explain to me what Berlin was like - she said 'grungy'. This could not be more accurate. Berlin was grungy, dirty and crazy. I got to experience the 'real Berlin' (from the safe confines of a tour group!) and was honestly surprised ... Read more >


Dresden

GERMANY | Friday, 2 Aug 2013 | Views [272]

Dresden... The first location in a long while where I have been completely by myself! Lets all remember,  I'm used to being an only child. It's been great to just chill out! No small talk for a few days! I've done my own walking tour with the help ... Read more >


Souvenir T-shirts, Castles & the KGB

CZECH REPUBLIC | Thursday, 1 Aug 2013 | Views [296]

Prague... Such a beautiful city. With a river separating its two halves Prague is an ideal location to wander around. And a good location for catching up with a London friend. I once again embarked on a free city tour (I'm most definitely making the ... Read more >
