If you go to Italy and don’t put on at least 3 kilograms you’re not doing it right. At least that’s what I tell myself anyway. First on my very short Italian agenda was Florence. What a beautiful city! What Florence lacks in size it more than makes up for in it’s history, architecture and of course, gelato. I love … Read More

London is famous for many things and infamous for it’s weather. Despite this, on one rainy day in Spring I decided to further explore this fabulous city and venture into Chelsea and Notting Hill; the home of the Portobello markets, vintage finds and of course Hugh Grant. OK maybe it’s not his actual home but when I think Notting Hill, … Read More

Snow, sun and nipples. Yes nipples. An unlikely trio to be found on top of the Swiss Alps but I have photographic evidence. Having visited the majestic country of New Zealand, I imagined the Swiss Alps to bear a similar resemblance to the snow capped, mountainous terrain of Queenstown and my expectations weren’t far off. I was lucky enough to … Read More

City lights, cafes and macarons. Need I say more? Paris had always been right at the top of my bucket list and let me tell you now, it didn’t let me down. Considering Paris is known as one of the most beautiful European cities, a tough title to claim, I had heard some very mixed reviews about the city of … Read More

I apologise for the terrible pun in the title of todays post but when a city is called Goa it’s almost like it’s asking for it really. Too many puns, so little time. If you’ve been keeping up to date with my blog, which you obviously absolutely should be doing, then you would know that I recently went to India. So … Read More

So you may remember in my last blog post I talked about my time in Mumbai in India. Well since I wrote that I have been a very busy lady! I came back to Perth for a week, unpacked, then repacked my bags again, moved to London and went on a whirlwind tour around Europe. In just a little over … Read More

I know, I know it’s been a while but I have a good excuse, I promise! Three weeks ago I was lucky enough to visit the incredible nation of India.  Mumbai was the first city on our to do list and to say it was a sensory overload would be an understatement! Everything you imagined about Mumbai is pretty much what … Read More

Let’s face it, travelling as a student isn’t easy. More likely than not you won’t have two pennies to rub together but against all the odds, you’ve been able to save up and go  on the trip of a lifetime with your best mates. I’ve been fortunate to have been reasonably lucky with work and had managed to save up quite … Read More

The other day I was sifting through my travel photos, as you do when you’re experiencing major wanderlust, and I came across some photos I took of the wonderful St. Petersburg. Ever since I watched the animated film Anastasia as a child I developed a fascination with Russia and Russian history, and yes I’m aware that the movie isn’t historically … Read More
