    Sydney, Australia in 4 Days – the perfect itinerary

    August 24, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I loved Sydney more than I expected. So much so, that I felt a weird homesickness when returning to the UK. It was something about the lifestyle here. Sydney is a mix of buzzing, cosmopolitan city with the laid back beach vibes you would expect from Australia. Four days in Sydney felt rushed and I could have easily spent a few more exploring its various areas and spending more time relaxing at the beach. But it’s enough time to see the highlights. Here’s how to spend 4 days in Sydney. Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, and at no additional cost to you, I earn…

    48 hours in Brisbane Australia

    March 10, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Brisbane was a really special place for me to visit. My mom grew up on the outskirts of Brisbane and I was looking forward to finally seeing a place I’d heard about since I was a kid. I decided to spend about 48 hours in Brisbane Australia exploring and visiting with family. I arrived off an 8-hour flight from Singapore, part of which I spent looking at the window as the plane passed over the reddish desert below. After getting my Aussie SIM card, I boarded a train from the airport to Roma Street. Stepping out of the station, the smell of Jacaranda blossoms hung in the balmy air. I…

    Singapore Travel Tips For Your First Visit

    January 7, 2020 / 6 Comments

    Singapore is a breeze to travel to. This beautiful and diverse city is incredibly safe, modern and full of great things to do. After recently spending 24 hours in Singapore, I definitely fell in love with this city. I even spent a little more on my flight to Australia to be able to spend some time here rather than Dubai (also an incredible city, but I’ve seen it before!). And it was worth it. But I also learned a few things by travelling to a new country, picking up some Singapore travel tips along the way. Here’s my Singapore travel tips for your first visit. Tips for travelling around Singapore…

    6 Tips for Visiting Prague for the First Time

    April 4, 2019 / 10 Comments

    Prague is an incredible city to visit and very popular among tourists, but there’s some tips first timer visitors should know before coming to Prague. I arrived in Prague rather bleary-eyed after making my usual mistake of taking the earliest flight. It always seems like such a good idea until the alarm goes off that morning. A night bus, a train, and a short plane journey later and I had landed at Václav Havel Airport, ready to add a new country to my list and explore everything the city had to offer. As my previous posts on Prague have explained, the Czech capital is perfect for a mini break exploring, including…

    How to spend 3 days in Prague

    Is there any end to Prague’s charm? The beautiful Czech city has become a favourite among travellers of Europe and it isn’t hard to see why. I recently visited Prague for three days and it was the perfect amount of time to see the highlights. Prague possesses an enchanting, romantic atmosphere. Its Gothic architecture is mixed among pastel-coloured apartment buildings. The city almost has the vibe you wish Paris had, strolling through pretty cobbled streets with a pastry in hand. And there’s something here for everyone. Nights out are fuelled by water-cheap beer and local spirits, romantic strolls for couples, and as I found, it’s a great city for the…
