Copenhagen on a budget

We decided to take a little January trip, away from windy, cold England to just as cold Copenhagen! Ryanair flights £30 per person, direct from London Stansted Airport – we got these pretty last minute and it seems to stay roughly around that price, with hand luggage only. *TIP* Ryanair now make you check in…

A long weekend in Macau

How I spent my 21st birthday Where does one go when they’re 21st birthday is looming and they are currently living in South China? Why Macau of course!   Since Chinese holidays work differently; I get 3x 3 days off (set dates and spread out over 2 months) instead of an Easter holiday off (even…

Guilin Diary

Back in October, there was a 1 week holiday in China called National Week. Since the only major holidays you seem to get in China are National week and Chinese New Year, we thought we’d take full advantage. Hence forth lies the weird and wonderful diary of our trip to Guilin, in all its China…

What does one do in a 24-hr Bookshop?

Apparently not read. Let me start from the beginning. Emily found an awesome coffee shop in Guangzhou on Instagram (a rarity since they block most social media and so you need a VPN to access them, which you can only get when leaving china, hence most Chinese people don’t use Instagram). We went once before…

Where do road-trippers go?

What better place is there to get lost,  then in the natural and breathtaking grand landscapes that are The Rockies. All you need is a set of wheels, some decent shoes and preferably a windscreen clean of squished bugs (a fatality of most road trips). Our road trip hit the west coast and started in…

Truth of the Trade

Hello from the other side, Apologise for the ghosting, there’s been a serious dry spell on this blog recently but all for good reason! My summer has been chock-a-block from the get go. It went a little like this: Iceland (March)->revision->exams->Borneo->visa stress->China, and soon to be Canada road trip with dad, and then back to…

Reykjavik Fun Facts!

The majority of these I found out from our amazing and super friendly tour guide, Gilly for the Golden Circle and Snorkelling tour, whilst we were driving. I thought they were pretty neat and it never hurts to know a little of the history about the place you’re planning to travel to! Reykjavik is a direct…

Reykjavik Dairy

“Don’t look back, you’re not going that way” Day 0 (Friday): I slept round Vic’s house. Her dog, Jake managed to barge his way through our suitcase barricade against the door so there was three in the bed by the end of the night. Following 6 hours of sleep, we woke, had breakfast and Vic’s…

Amsterdam City Break

An impromptu city break trip to Amsterdam booked during a catch up night with the girls led to a weekend of the best apple pie, phallic museums and almost getting run over by trams and cyclists in this bike crazed city. It was booked through Hertfordshire university through a company called Invasion to Amsterdam through…

Sri Lanka Diary

Dear Diary made of recycled elephant poo, Day 1 Our trip began with a somewhat short cab ride to Heathrow airport. After finding our flight to be delayed we decided it was time for some retail therapy. Isn’t that the whole point of airports? So after a couple purchases, including some cute Guess sunglasses and…
