Since we hadn’t done a christmas market in a couple of years, we decided that this year we would make the effort to go to one in the Netherlands and since Germany was so close we would find one we hadn’t been to there. We had some Tesco vouchers that we converted into Eurotunnel vouchers […]
As with most of my other trips, this was a spur of the moment decision. Ken had already been to Hong Kong and told me how nice it was and the pictures he took there looked pretty amazing. I hadn’t seen any of Asia and really wanted to. My Seoul trip was also spur of […]
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 […]

I decided about 6 months before I was due to travel that I would love to see Asia and The Orient. I had a friend who had been to Hong Kong and told me how awesome it was. I decided that I would book a trip to that part of the world and Seoul was […]
When trying to decide where to go for this trip, I wanted to go somewhere different and a country I had never visited before. I looked at the map and for some reason Riga stood out – that was where I was going to go.I guess i’ve always had a fascination with the former Eastern […]
