It’s been a while. I still log onto GallivantingGeorgia every week. Scroll through the new comments, check my stats – despite not posting on here for over a year, they’re the highest they’ve ever been. I can’t really explain that one. I normally hover over the ‘New Post’ button for a moment or two, then …
Bar Poë – I’d heard about this delicious little bar before I’d even arrived in Granada and duly set out to sample its wares. Sadly it was a Monday and it was closed. The following night I returned – and I’m so, so glad I did. Before I go on, let me promise you this … Continue reading
Before I jump into the details, let me just say this, Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most underrated attractions in Europe. A little skeptical? Let me convince you that this little Polish town NEEDS to be on your itinerary. I never thought I’d fall in love with a mine. I hate being underground, I … Continue reading
Here’s something you probably don’t know about Granada. The city is covered, and I mean completely blanketed, in graffiti. But it’s not the tacky eyesore that you come to associate with shady underpasses and gang territory. Granada’s graffiti is completely bewitching. Graffiti isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when you think about the … Continue reading
Portugal is a country that has never been particularly high on my travel radar. Located at the Westernmost edge of Europe and without the biggest presence on the travel circuit it’s a place that I’ve not given too much thought to. I visited the Algarve when I was much younger, but I don’t really remember … Continue reading
This month I finally managed to get over to Seville, a city I’ve been dying to visit for the best part of three years. After hopping on a cheap flight from rainy Manchester to the rather more sunny Madrid, I caught a high-speed Renfe train to Seville Santa Justa station. I booked my ticket back … Continue reading
So you’ve decided to head to Cambodia. You know you’re going straight to Siem Reap so you can watch the sun rise over the almighty Angkor Wat, but then what? Many people turn straight back around and back to Thailand, or onwards into Vietnam or Laos, but Cambodia offers a lot more than just Angkor … Continue reading
CHIANG MAI couldn’t be more different to its southern cousins. Don’t expect white beaches, Full Moon Parties or limestone rocks up in Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is located inland and has a completely different feel to the south of the country. If culture, adventure activities, amazing street food and beautiful Wats are you thing, it’s … Continue reading
WARNING: This post contains images and information that some people might find distressing. About The term concentration camp conjures up a thousand distressing and horrifying images. Emaciated bodies, gas chambers, barbed wire fences, railway tracks and swastika-clad SS officers among them. I’ve always been fascinated by history, and studied it at university for my undergraduate … Continue reading
TALLINN, perhaps not a place that jumps to mind for an interrailing itinerary, or the most obvious choice for a quick city-break, but the 2011 Capital of Culture and the birthplace of Skype offers a unique blend of modern, medieval and Soviet charm that completely won me over. Nestled between Russia and Finland, the Estonian … Continue reading
I’m very excited to say that I’m visiting Spain again! Unfortunately I’ll only be there for a week (I was determined to pack in a visit during my final semester at university – especially as England has been horrendously sun deprived this year) but I’m planning on making every minute count. I’m flying into Madrid … Continue reading
