What A Mess! Francis Bacon Exhibition – Dublin

The Dublin City Gallery is an art gallery operated by Dublin City Council and its subsidiary the Hugh Lane Gallery Trust, entry is free, making it a great little place to add to your list of things to do in Dublin on a budget. They always seem to have a lot on, so I think …

The Library Of My Dreams at Trinity College – Dublin

Ever since I was young, I have been obsessed with books. I had a wild imagination (hmm, maybe not much has changed!) and I would devour book upon book, staying late up into the night, hidden under my duvet with a small light. Sometimes I would read a whole book in a day, and the …

A Long Weekend In Dublin

So shortly after I got back from Barcelona in February, I headed off for a long weekend in Dublin with an old work colleague. I know February was ages ago, but I've been super busy and time has just felt like sand running through my fingers lately! I was pleasantly surprised by Dublin. I wasn't …

Decadent Catalan Hot Chocolate – La Nena, Barcelona

When I did my free walking tour, my guide happened to mention in passing a favourite sweet treat in Barcelona — Catalan Hot Chocolate. He scrunched up his nose whilst he described what he called "diabetes on a plate", a hot chocolate so thick that you ate it with a spoon instead of sipping it, and …

The Best Paella In Barcelona – Els Quatre Gats

T is probably the very best and very worst dinner companion for someone like myself to have, because he loves food just as much as I do, and he also has a problem with over-ordering, much the same as me. So, when we get together and go out for dinner, boy do we get carried …

Park Güell – Barcelona

You know that beautiful typical Barcelona photo that you seem to see everywhere? The one overlooking the city from behind a wall of colorful mosaics? Something like this right here... Well, that's in Park Güell, designed by Antoni Gaudí, the same man who designed the Sagrada Família. It's a pretty famous site in Barcelona and despite …

Budget Vegan Food – Barcelona

So, it also happens that an old friend of mine moved to Barcelona recently. We seldom see each other, the last time probably being about 5 years ago back in Paris when we met up for a quick drink and a walk around Montmartre. Once again, life got in the way and we didn't have …

Sagrada Família – Barcelona

Without a shadow of a doubt, the Sagrada Família is one of the most iconic landmarks that people associate with the city of Barcelona, designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí. Gaudí spent 40 years designing the basilica and yet the intricately detailed building is still under construction, with completion not expected until around 2026, nearly …

Free Walking Tour Of The Gothic Quarter – Barcelona

One of the things that I love about staying in hostels is that so many of them offer great incentives for budget travellers like free walking tours. Of course, there is never really such a thing as a "free lunch". Although the tours are technically free, you are asked to donate what you think the …

Best Tapas in Barcelona – La Pepita

Whilst in Barcelona, I would meet up with my friend T more or less every evening for dinner. T has been living in Barcelona for over a year now, and obviously had to work during the day (boo!). We found this fantastic little tapas bar, on the same road as my hostel and close to …
