*ring ring*, it was Stefania. My friend who’d I’d met in my travels through Cyprus last year. One of the few where we had actually managed to stay in touch and had promised to see each other again in a different country, under a different sky. Excitedly she said ‘sooooo, Venice carnival? Are you in?’ …

Bites of Venice: A taste of Tradition
*grumble*grumble* Did you hear that? Was that my stomach? For me, italian food comes to one of the best and most diverse types of food of Europe. With spicey, meaty, and deep flavours is it a surprise my stomach is rumbling? Despite italy being so well known for all of its culinary delicacies, I often…
Food for thought…Japanese style 🌸
Not everyone is a foodie like us. Not everyone goes to a country and wants to enjoy the food that the city or country has to offer. Take my mum for example, her visit to Japan a couple of years ago was not quite what me or my brother had expected. After only one week…
A day in Hiroshima and Miyajima
Stepping out onto the soil from Hiroshima station, the chatter of people surrounds you, the hustle and bustle of everyday life catches you almost by shock. The city, seeped in so much sorrow and death, brings pictures of a devastating past to the forefront of your mind with the death of over 100,000 people. It…
Konichiwa Kyoto: Our top 5 picks
Charles Baudelaire once said “What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open.” Kyoto is a city like no other, filled with culture and history combined with a technilogical twist, making Japan one of the most modern nations and making us all sit up…

It’s been 2 months since Vinny and I have started working, and it has not been easy! I think it can officially be said that being an adult is hard work! So it was fair to say that we were ready to pack our bags and set off to our next destination, and Venice was…

It had been 3 days. We had finished exams, packed our bags (as hurriedly as possible) and set off trying not to think about our impending results. Our first stop,Phuket. As we descended upon the large island, excitement was brewing. This wasn’t our first trip to Thailand, but we had never been to Phuket before….
To tour or not to tour? The Vietnam chronicles continues
I think we’ve all asked ourselves this question. Gone into a tourist office and had a look at the prices for all the tours they offer and then let out a slight squeal which may or may not remind people of a runaway pig. But we’re digressing. Before our trip to Vietnam, we hadn’t really…
Discovering Hanoi
Vietnam had always been an exciting prospect for us. With its fascinating history, culture and beauty that we had heard and read so much about, it had us talking and planning for months. And then the day came. The poor students that we were, we decided to take the cheapest route possible, and headed…
