I love Bruges!!! Seriously. If ever there were a little gingerbread town to fall in love with, this is it! Sweet delicious waffles, museums dedicated to fries and even a vile of Christ’s blood, all within pleasurable walking distance. A place where there is a chocolate shop on every corner and more beers than you have hairs on your head. Bruges is just so darn … Continue reading Bruges
*Insert Ed Sheeran music here* I’m hoping you read the title as you would hear it in Ed Sheeran’s song, cause those are the vibes I get when I think back over my time in Barcelona. So festive, so fun, very Barcelona. While in Barcelona I appreciated architecture. Cooked up some delicious paella. Drank Sangria. Then enjoyed the sunshiny beaches complete with home grown Aussie … Continue reading Barcelona!
Scotland, Wales and the Great Britain itself. Love a solid road trip through the country side. It’s always nice when they speak the same language too… although the Scottish accent is at times undecipherable. From Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye, through to Glasgow, the Lakes region, Snowdonia and Cornwall. There were castles, climbs, hikes, Peter Rabbits, whisky distilleries, scones and a cuppa (or two), … Continue reading UK Road-trip
Switzerland, I salute you, Your massive mountains, and wondrous waterfalls, The climbs that had me puffing, and the views that dropped my jaw. The cows, the bells, the dairy, the chocolate. You toned my glutes, and lightened my wallet, Made me dip various food stuffs in cheese. Switzerland, I salute you. Switzerland, such a fantastic place, but I must admit I returned to Switzerland with a … Continue reading An Ode to Switzerland
Roses are red, Violets are blue, but if you want to smell lavender, go to Avignon (just because it doesn’t rhyme doesn’t mean it’s not true). Seriously, Avignon was so ridiculously pleasant. I could have explored the streets of the old town forever… could have except it was stinking hot. So dusk was the time to explore. Old town Avignon has so much character and … Continue reading Sweet Smelling Avignon
Welcome to Planet Iceland. A place of many colours, formations and smells. It’s a place like no other. You can drive through many vastly different landscapes in a couple of hours. Whether it be the wild west, the pyramids of Egypt, the Amazonian jungle, the Swiss Alps or even the Australian Coast. But despite the diversity, Iceland seems to do each thing better as well … Continue reading Planet Iceland
In Italian, Cinque means five and Terre means lands. The Italian’s are pretty straight up with their names because that is exactly what Cinque Terre is. Despite the un-inventive name, Cinque Terre is an amazing place with five awesome towns to explore that are linked by hikes. It may be premature, but I’m going to put it out there and say that this has been … Continue reading Cinque Terre: The Five Lands
Florence, or Firenze, smells like leather, tastes like pizza, looks like the renaissance and feels like the sun. Leather Florence is a cow’s nightmare. There is leather everywhere. Every shop and market is filled with leather goods. You’ve got bags, belts, jackets, books, key rings and the list goes on. I was able to do an introduction to Florence tour where they told you all … Continue reading Arty Farty Florence
Venice, what a fascinating place of trickery. It’s a man made island that is either ingenious or an extremely lucky fluke. It’s amazing, it’s confusing, it’s beautiful, it’s romantic, it’s a maze, but it’s sinking. Amazing I loved learning about how Venice was built. It’s actually ridiculous to imagine the Italians that drove wooden beams through the swampy marsh into the clay sea bed, creating … Continue reading Lost in Venice
Musical seas and lights in the ground, Zadar is an intriguing destination in ways you’d lest expect. Bizzare, Zadar. Found an hour and a half north of Split along the Adriatic Coast you’ll find that Zadar is both relaxing and amusing. Having come from a line up of big cities with packed itineraries, Zadar was a place you could slow down and chill out. It’s … Continue reading How Zadar
