How Helsinki Became One of My Favorite Cities in Europe
Helsinki is truly a hidden gem. A longtime lover of Scandinavia, visiting Iceland, Sweden and Norway ranked high on my list of travel priorities over the past few years. Perhaps because Helsinki and Lapland, and the Faroe Islands, aren't discussed as often as the others, but while Finland was on my radar, it wasn't a … Continue reading How Helsinki Became One of My Favorite Cities in Europe
Two Days in Beautiful Belfast
Belfast, a city previously defined by The Troubles, is quick becoming a destination worthy of a city break. Slowly rising from its dark past, Belfast is less crowded and cheaper than Dublin. There for two days before a race weekend in Dublin, I was excited to explore a new city, and see more of the … Continue reading Two Days in Beautiful Belfast
A Fairytale Reality at Burg Eltz
Scrolling Instagram a few months ago, I saw one of my favourite fitness influencers was traveling through Europe. When I saw her post at Burg Eltz castle, my jaw nearly dropped- it was beautiful. Having visited Neuschwanstein, I knew Germany was home to some pretty epic castles, but I hadn’t heard of Burg Eltz before. … Continue reading A Fairytale Reality at Burg Eltz
The Perfect Itinerary for a Weeklong Roadtrip in Ireland
When I moved to the UK, road trips around Ireland and Scotland rocketed to the top of my travel list. Why the Emerald Isle? Incredible greenery, rolling hillsides, tiny villages, sheep and cows everywhere, and pubs alive with traditional music where the pints never stop flowing. Ireland epitomises culture, beauty and history. Although I’m not … Continue reading The Perfect Itinerary for a Weeklong Roadtrip in Ireland
Two Days in Krakow, Poland
Krakow, an unexpected gem of a destination. Beautiful architecture, friendly locals, good food, great culture and amazing affordability, Krakow is all these things and more. During the weekend, I couldn’t get over how beautiful all the pastel buildings were, how much greenery there was in and around city centre, and how interesting it was to see … Continue reading Two Days in Krakow, Poland
3 Reasons to Love Stavanger, Norway
In the weeks leading up my trip to Norway, I'd tell people I was visiting Bergen and Stavanger, and more often than not, they'd ask, 'Where is Stavanager?' A southwestern port city in Norway, Stavanager is surrounded by fjords, mountains and sandy coastlines. Wood houses dot the hillside above city center and cobblestone streets abound. … Continue reading 3 Reasons to Love Stavanger, Norway
The Best of Bergen, Picture Perfect Norway
Bergen is picture perfect. While planning my early spring bank holiday trip (the UK has Good Friday and Easter Monday off), I knew I wanted to go somewhere I'd be less reliant on restaurants/bars/museums being open (after visiting Stockholm last year), and settled on somewhere scenic. Once I decided I wanted to spend as much … Continue reading The Best of Bergen, Picture Perfect Norway
Where to Eat in Marrakesh
Before heading to Marrakesh for a weekend visit, I'd been warned by people who had been there that I may not like the city- they said it was too chaotic and hectic. I had a totally different experience- I loved the city and left eager to explore other parts of Morocco on future trips. In … Continue reading Where to Eat in Marrakesh
One Day in Bath, England
For me, Bath is the most beautiful city in England. Granted, I've only lived in the UK for 8 months, and still have a lot of exploring to do, but no where else I've visited has blown me away the way Bath did. From the moment the train pulled into the station, I was breathless- … Continue reading One Day in Bath, England
