I’ll start by explaining how I come to end up in Budapest. I had taken some time off work because of a really bad episode of my depression. I was supposed to go to Sweden during my 4 days off work but I couldn’t face going. I got everything packed and the morning of I […]
With this trip, I wanted to get as far away from my house, my job, Peterborough as my budget would allow. My budget allowed for Warsaw. I got the flights and accommodation for just under £87. A no brainer so I booked it. I spent a full 7 days here. I love Poland. It is […]
You’ll have to bear with me with this post. I am going to talk about the general sightseeing and everything that is not related to the previous 3 posts. When I wasn’t doing tours and palaces, I was out in the sun wandering around and sightseeing. I did a city sightseeing bus tour. It was […]
This post will concentrate on the visit I made to the DMZ When I initially booked the tour, it was for a visit to the DMZ and the Panmunjom peace village. If you are unsure of what Panmunjom is and its significance, you can click to read about it. This was the tour I was […]

Australia is somewhere I have always wanted to visit ever since I can remember. I can’t decide if it was because my great-grandma used to visit her daughter there or because of some factoid books I received when I was a kid and they had a massive section in there about Australia.
