April 2017 Croatia & Bosnia I’m skipping a few destinations of late 2016 & early 2017 to write about Croatia, because I strongly feel as though it should be added to anyone & everyone’s travel list (And if you’re anything like me-apologies for the extra paperwork). My Adriatic adventure lasted only 4 days- with a… Read More Crazy for Croatia
October 2016 Prague is my favorite Eastern European city. It’s what I imagine the 1920’s were like to some small degree- a simpler time where Jazz clubs are as popular as ever and, smoking inside is as commonplace as cobbled streets (which are very common…like my use of alliteration…). My first trip to Prague was… Read More Czech me into Prague
Between July and August of 2016, I became an avid hiker. I describe myself as ‘avid’ because these adventures entailed waking up at the crack of dawn, to drive an hour or more to the Alps, to then hike up a mountain for 4-9 hours; safe to say I, or rather we, were eager.… Read More The 3 types of Hiking in Bavaria and Tyrol
June 2016 Driving to Kitzbühel with my Dad, Mom, and Brother was the first family trip we’ve had since before I moved away to the UK in 2014. It started off as all our trips do; with my Brother making inopportune food requests, my Mom experiencing some kind of panic (my Dad’s driving on the… Read More Kitzbühel, Austria
June 2016 As traditions go, in June 2016 I returned to Portugal with Andy and Fon’s girlfriend, Steph, for another birthday celebration. I was the last to arrive, and was picked up from the airport by my newly licensed friend, where we then proceeded to drive to his family country villa in Azambuja for a… Read More Azambuja & Lisbon, Portugal
March 2016 York was a spur-of-the-moment trip with one of my best friends Charlotte Robertson. Let’s just say it was a much needed girl’s trip. This wasn’t a heavily planned, big sight-seeing trip; and sometimes those can be the best. We set off on a beautiful day, getting the train to Newark first (without realizing… Read More York, UK
December 2015 I took a mid-week trip to Milan during an unusually stressful period of my second year of uni. (For those who don’t know, when you do a 4-year sandwich degree in the UK, your 3rd year is spent working for a company of your choice, as a paid internship. And I was neck… Read More Milan, Italy
June 2015 I was invited to Portugal for one of my best friend, Afonso Martins’ (far left), birthday the summer after my first year of university; and the picture above perfectly describes our trip. Afonso was one of my first friends in Nottingham; we were both foreigners, and he made me feel very welcome… Read More Lisbon, Portugal
April 2015 I, contrary to popular school of thought, did not take a pill in Ibiza. I instead opted for a bath, which I’m nearly 100% certain gave me a rash that lasted long after my sunburn had faded. Safe to say, my experience in Ibiza was different to that of the majority. I purposely… Read More Ibiza, Spain
