By the second week of October 2022, I had made my way from Denmark, via Austria to Berlin. I am slightly ashamed to say that the last visited Berlin was in 1988 when it was still part of East Berlin. At that time I was in my second year of my BA(hons) degree in Architecture at …
ARoS Art Museum by Architects Schmidt, Hammer and Lessen (2004). A number of people I met on my travels had the ARoS Art Gallery as their number one place to visit on a trip to Aarhus and I can honestly say that it didn’t disappoint. My initial plan was to visit this part of Denmark …
4th to 9th October 2022 I knew that I would like Denmark as soon as I arrived in Copenhagen. It was so clean, neat and orderly, and such marvellous design quality in everything from their buildings, furniture, clothes all the way down to their cutlery and utensils. All this quality however, does make a visit …
Woodah Boutique Hostel, Copenhagen – 4th to 8th October 2022. Highly recommended for any visitors to Copenhagen who want a design experience without breaking the bank. These single Japanese style designer sleeping pods were really quite comfy, private, and included breakfast all for the bargain price of £46 through Airbnb (Oct 2022). This was the …

Whether it’s transitioning from city to city or simply from one accommodation to another, I inadvertently go through a period of adjustment before I settle into a place, and ease into its flow. This adjustment …
Bruges was amazing! Especially in the autumn sunshine. I see now why everyone raves about it. It’s a beautiful place. I could have easily spent a few days here. I had a taken a day trip to Bruges (on 2nd October 2022) at the insistence of my good friend Sergio, who I was visiting in …
By the time I arrived at my first destination in Europe, I was exhausted! I hadn’t slept at all, the night prior to leaving Nottingham, and I can’t even begin to describe the amount of time and effort it had taken to prepare for my trip. It must have been at least three months of …
I had no idea starting a blog would be such a challenge! I launched my website with such high ideals, imaging myself posting a blog every few days, regaling you with the best stories and insights from my adventures. But here I am, 46 days into my trip and all l have managed to share …
Ahead of my year long trip to Europe and Asia, I did a lot of research as to which was the best luggage to take: backback or wheelie suitcase? All the articles made very good points for taking a backpack: easy to carry safer – its on your back all the time which reduces the …
