Although many people picture traditional German attire, a stein of beer in one hand and a pretzel in the other when they think of Munich, the capital city of Bavaria is jam-packed with a wide variety of sights and attractions which don’t involve beer or pretzels. (Although, of course we had to participate in such…

When it comes to Northern Ireland, there is just nothing modest about its coast. From castle ruins to stunning beaches and perilous suspension bridges, this is probably the most interesting coastline I’ve ever laid my eyes on. While my parents were visiting in late May, we decided to head to the East/Southern side of Ireland, then carried…

I’ve had some pretty amazing trips since moving to Nottingham, but I think the most unique, jaw-dropping experience I’ve had so far is spending the night in the Sahara Desert, riding a camel out in the morning with the moon on one side, and the sunrise on the other. It was like a real-life, live…

Five years ago, I had never heard of Lithuania. Not until a colleague at work told me her family was Lithuanian, and my response (I’m ashamed to admit now) was, ‘They’re what now?’ Fast forward to 2019 and here I am just getting back from an absolutely fantastic time in the Baltic country of Lithuania,…

I’ve been in the UK for two years now. Somehow I’ve managed to survive without the ocean nearby, driving on the wrong side, and saying strange things like ‘Heyup’ and ‘gobsmacked’. And during those two years, I’ve often talked about how much I enjoy living in England. How much fun I have over here, traveling…

I bet I can guess what first comes to your mind about Amsterdam… Canals, right? 😉 Of course, this place is known for its Red Light District and leniency when it comes to marijuana, but there’s so much more to Amsterdam than a wild weekend getaway. It’s actually a bit funny to just stroll around…

Prague is one of the weirdest cities I’ve been to. I say this because I’ve never been to another place with a statue of men peeing on a map of said place. This isn’t the only weird statue in Prague, however… There’s also statues of giant babies without faces, and one of King Wenceslas riding…

For being Ireland’s capital, Dublin is a surprisingly small city. Which isn’t a bad thing – just makes it easier to get to everything with less walking and cabbing/bussing! We got in to Dublin quite early, just as the sun was rising, and since our Airbnb wouldn’t be ready to check in to until later…

There’s this saying… You must be from Nova Scotia if you can say ‘Tatamagouche’, ‘Kejimikujik’, and ‘Musquodoboit’. Well, I say you must be from Wales if you can say ‘Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch’. If you’re wondering what the hell that is, it’s a real place in Wales, and also a local government. The literal meaning is ‘Saint Mary’s…

Budapest was our final destination on our four-country-tour through Europe. And what a great spot to end our trip it was.  It has something for everyone – architecture, history, nightlife, and even thermal springs! There’s lots of history around every corner and plenty of hidden treasures in this laid-back, friendly city. Hungary’s capital city is…
