How to London
See London like a local It’s fairly easy to tell from my posts that I’m a list-making and travel nerd. As much as I would love to take the romantic approach of eschewing plans, schedules and guidebooks, it’s very much not my style and likely never will be. However, one place it’s impossible to keep … Continue reading How to London

Croatian road trip – the churches of Zadar
Day 5 - One day walking tour of Zadar I was expecting Zadar to be like Split and Dubrovnik, a tiny, perfectly formed and intimate little city. Zadar is in fact a real mix, even in the very centre, where ugly 60s concrete structures sit next to the earliest and rarest of Byzantine churches. It … Continue reading Croatian road trip – the churches of Zadar
Romanian road trip – medieval towns and bears
Day 4 - Sovata to Măgura From Sovata we headed south cross country to Măgura where I had a booked a stay in the mountains with a trip to a bear hide.
