Itinerary
Three days in Singapore
Why go to Singapore? FOR THE FOOD! That’s primarily why I went but there are loads of other nice things to do in this tiny city state from exploring plants and waterfalls inside huge greenhouses, to a kitsch day out at Universal Studios. Like many cities there are lots of old, historic buildings right next … Continue reading Three days in Singapore
Two weeks in Sri Lanka
What to do and see in Sri Lanka I've written a lot of long posts about Sri Lanka so I wanted to put together something shorter and more accessible for those of you scrolling through thinking 'just tell me where to go!' Sri Lanka has great scenery, culture and food and the country is compact … Continue reading Two weeks in Sri Lanka
Mountains, Fjords and Fish – a one week summer itinerary for Norway
One week in Norway I’ve planned lots of road trips over the years and I have to say this was one of the hardest to put together. Norway is vast and punctuated like a doily with rivers and fjords meaning a lot roads suddenly turn into ferry crossings which can add some unexpected time. Add … Continue reading Mountains, Fjords and Fish – a one week summer itinerary for Norway
Visiting Angkor Wat – where to stay and where to eat
Visiting Siem Reap I first came to Siem Reap in October 2014 as my first ‘big’ (read: far away) solo trip to visit the temples of Angkor after Google image searching the temples and being amazed by what I saw.

48 hours in Copenhagen
What to see and do in Copenhagen in two days After researching Scandinavian and Baltic cruises and realising I wasn’t cool with never spending the evening on terra firma (and therefore not getting any local dinners!) I put together my own ten day itinerary covering a handful of countries in Scandinavia and the Baltics. I’ve … Continue reading 48 hours in Copenhagen
48 hours in Stockholm
What to see in two days in Stockholm How to get to Stockholm Ryanair, EasyJet and Norwegian fly from Stansted, Luton and Gatwick respectively and for well under £100 return if booked in good time.

What to see in two days in Tallinn I visited Tallinn as part of a 10 day trip to Copenhagen, Tallinn and Stockholm (which I'll cover in further posts), travelling between each by plane. You can find the full itinerary for this trip here. I spent two full days in Tallinn and enjoyed every minute. … Continue reading 48 hours in Tallinn
