How to buy an Icelandic sweater
You are in Iceland and you, of course, want to buy traditional Icelandic sweater (lopapeysa) as they are forever on trend and will totally remind you of your time in Iceland forever. One issue I had, which I did not predict, is how expensive a lopapeysa actually is. I was looking at spending around £200…
From Iceland, with love
What souvenirs does Iceland have to offer? I have split this into three categories. Free: things that do not cost money. Budget: things that I have found to have a low cost. Luxe: a littler more expensive. It is worth saying that my idea of cheap and expensive may be different to yours and these…
Five cheap eats in Reykjavík

Interrail itinerary
You are probably here to see Interrail/Eurail itineraries. That is semi true, you will see a single Interrail/Eurail itinerary – mine. This post will not necessarily contain any tips and tricks as to how to plan your own, as that is very personal to you and only you know what you want to see and…

Over a year ago I returned from my biggest travel adventure to date, a six week rail journey around Europe and here I am, planning a six month trip around Southeast Asia. Since I was feeling reminiscent, I decided to give you a countdown of my personal favourites from the continent. You may notice a…
How to spend a long weekend in Wrocław
If you are lucky enough to live in Europe, your options for a long weekend are unparalleled. If you are central you can even hop on a train to most places or if, like me, you like in the UK (don’t ask me about Brexit, I don’t know what happened) a cheap flight to the…
