    11th April 2020 /

    This is a guest post by the talented Kirstie Will Travel, a languages student and fellow travel blogger. The Brussels Comic Book Route is one of the most exciting things to do when in Brussels. The city is renowned for its comic history and the great artists that have created characters such as Tintin, The Smurfs, and Asterix. This route is a great chance to discover more about this comic history whilst exploring the city, and murals are a lot of fun as well. This Brussels Comic Book Route guide has absolutely everything you need- an interactive map with all the points, a list of every mural in the order…

    A DIY Tour of Street Art in Digbeth, Birmingham

    21st March 2020 /

    I recently enlisted the help of my lovely sister as an adventure buddy and photographer for the day and headed to the city to scope out some street art in Digbeth, Birmingham. We live just outside the city and love doing things in Digbeth so this was a fun day out for us. Digbeth is a fanstastically odd mix between abandoned warehouses and industrial spaces and a vibrant creative quarter. It’s the sort of place you go for alternative shops and etertainment, to enjoy street food and have drinks in the evening. Getting There Birmingham’s central location in the West Midlands makes it a great option for a day trip…

    A Perfect Day-Trip from Milan to Lugano

    27th February 2020 /

    Lugano in summer is probably not what you expect when you first think of Switzerland. This sunny city in southern Switzerland belongs to the Italian speaking Ticino region and is easily reached from Milan or Lake Como. I had to keep reminding myself that I had crossed a border and wasn’t still in Italy. That said, Lugano boasts stunning lake views, lush, hikeable mountains, pristine gardens and some pretty tasty food. I spent 24 hours here on my solo trip to Italy last year, and want to share how to get from Milan to Lugano and what there is to do in this beautiful city. Getting From Milan to Lugano…

    How to Travel Iceland on a Budget

    10th February 2020 /

    Before I begin with money saving tips for travel in iceland based in Reykjavik, it needs to be said that Iceland is not a budget travel destination. It is notoriously one of the most expensive countries in the world. HOWEVER, there are still plenty of ways to save whilst you’re out there and cut down on flights, accommodation costs and even extra phone costs, like getting a travel SIM card. I found food to be my biggest cost after the multi-day tours, but I do believe that it was worth every penny to visit a place I’ve been dreaming about for years. In this post I will share some of…

    The Very Best Things to do in Iceland in Winter

    29th January 2020 /

    Iceland is a place that is on many people’s bucket lists, and for good reason. The dramatic, volcanic landscape makes for an other worldly experience. It is no wonder that so many films and tv shows have been filmed here (Various Star Wars films, Game of Thrones, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Vikings, Thor: The Dark World and Interstellar, to name a few – we really could be here all day). Iceland is also one of the most peaceful places in the in the world – they don’t even have an army! Iceland is a truly magical place to visit in any season, but to see the most incredible…

    11 Reasons Why You Should Visit Poland

    4th January 2020 /

    Happy New Year folks; may it bring you plentiful adventures! If you’re looking for a cheap city break in Europe this year or a new addition for your 2020 travel bucket list, look no further! Although it’s popularity is increasing as of late, Poland is still massively underrated as a European Travel destination. I recently spent a few weeks travelling around Central Europe and spent over a week in Poland. I want to share with you my reasons for visiting and hopefully inspire you to do the same, with a focus on the three cities I visited: Gdańsk, Poznań & Wroclaw. If you want to learn about Poland’s most popular…

    So Long, 2019 – My Year in Travel

    27th December 2019 /

    As we reach the end of 2019 and approach a new decade, I wanted to end the year on a slightly more personal note, recapping my year in travel, starting a blog and leaving my job. This post is a bit more self indulgent than the others, but I want anyone reading to get a sense of who I am and to inspire anyone else who feels stuck to make the most out of their situation, so here goes!

    A Guide to Street Art & Murals in Reykjavik

    20th December 2019 /

    Reykjavik is a lovely city with a cosy, small town vibe, colourful houses galore and stunning sea front views. Reykjavik also has a booming street art scene. Being quite a walkable city, you’ll see plenty of murals and smaller illustrations and tags walking around during your time here. I love searching for street art d in a place like Iceland, that’s not exactly cheap, it makes a great budget activity to save those pennies! I’ve put together 15 of my favourite murals and a few smaller pieces I found on my explorations. Try and spot them all when you visit; and don’t be afraid to look down alleyways and corners;…
