Adventures for the wild hearted
Ah, Rome! There's so much you can say about the eternal city. It holds a very special place in my heart as it was the first solo trip I ever embarked on. Rome is every bit as magical as you think it's going to be, despite the hoards of tourists that cling around sites such …

A question I get asked quite often, is "how did you get the courage to travel by yourself?" I meet a lot of people (men and women alike) who consider it a brave and far-fetched thing to do, but mostly these questions come from other women. With this in mind, I decided to write this …

So, a mere day between arriving back from our Switzerland break to Geneva, I was back for a sleep and change of clothes before hopping on a train in the afternoon and heading up to the Big Smoke aka London. I don't often go up to London, as it's never really interested me that much …

"Come up to Scotland, and we'll drink lots of whiskey!" was all it took to convince me to book a last-minute ticket to Aberdeen to meet up with a friend I made over a year prior, whilst travelling in Cambodia. Ryan met me at the airport and we headed back to his hometown just outside …
I have a confession to make: I don't even like Guinness. So whilst I was on a weekend break in Dublin I decided not to go on the seemingly obligatory Guinness brewery tour. I was tempted, don't get me wrong. Guinness is practically synonymous with Ireland and particularly Dublin, but I had learnt my lesson …
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 …

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 …
