If you find yourself wandering the streets of Porto looking to satisfy your growling belly, get yourself to Cafe Majestic on Rua Santa Caterina quick fast. I wanted to go for coffee after missing out last time I visited Porto for a travel conference, and so me and my three [...]
I’ll admit the London Triathlon training isn’t going very well. Since my last post announcing I was actually doing the London Triathlon I’ve managed about 10 x 5k runs, an hour of yoga a week and err, that’s pretty much it. Excuses include Having time to fit it in It’s [...]
After a tip off from one of the girls at our hostel in Barcelona we ventured out to the Hospital de la Santa Creu i de Sant Pau on the way to the Sagrada Familia. Am I allowed to say I was more impressed by this than I was the [...]
When you’re on a student budget you have to be a little more creative when it comes to affording travel. I used to trawl gumtree.com looking for free travel opportunities, or even better, ones that paid. I came across VaughanTown. An English immersion ‘camp’ that drafted in anglophiles to chat [...]
The hardest decision in Porto is which port cave to go to first. There are over 30 caves in Vila Nova de Gaia, the town facing Porto just over the river. From Cockburn’s (pronounced Co-burns, sad times) to Sandemans to Crofts all the big names have set up their port distilleries [...]

Here’s the latest attempt at improving my iMovie skills. Iceland was a great topic to work with as the scenery and landscape is just so incredible and varied – one minute it looked like you were on the moon, and the next a magical Narnia. If you want to see [...]
Grünerløkka in Oslo is like Shoreditch in London, or Williamsburg in New York. It’s where all the hipsters, struggling artists and cool kids hang out. Political grafitti adorns the walls, markets selling local goods pop up in disused warehouses and the charity shops remain the source for every thing you could [...]
When we went to Iceland in January I kept banging on about how I needed to make a video, which you’ll see one day very soon. Little did I know my darling boyfriend was collecting footage to make his own infinitely superior one… Landscapes Of Iceland from WAIEL AL-NOUR on [...]
Seems like everyone wants to go to Iceland these days, but everybody’s scared of how much Reykjavik will cost. This is all the expenses from my four days Iceland, from £4 milkshakes in Laundromat to £79 on one meal. We saved loads of money by booking an amazing house in [...]
