Home of Carlsberg: The Art and Science of perfect Beer
Whether it’s after a busy day travelling, with a good meal at lunch, or at the airport Wetherspoons at 7am, I love a beer. I used to just stick to my favourites, but now I really enjoy trying local beers, and with Europe so close there are so many master breweries for me to explore. […]

Copenhill: Copenhagen’s city hiking path
I love it when functional buildings are made fun, doubling the usage of the space. Copenhill is a great example of this. Cities naturally produce waste, unfortunately until there is a better method some of that waste has to be incinerated. But instead of having a big ugly waste-to-energy plant, they decided to incorporate it […]

Tram Adventures in Lisbon
When looking at photos of Lisbon, it won’t take long to see a picture of their iconic trams. Having commuted by train for years to Central London, it’s pretty safe to say getting excited about public transport is a rarity for me. So when I say riding one of Lisbon’s iconic trams was non-negotiable, it […]

Torvehallerne: A Food Lovers Haven in Copenhagen
I’m terrible at finding restaurants when solo travelling, that’s just a fact. I love good food, but I have a habit of planning what I’ll be doing, and unmissable activities, that I forget to plan time to eat. So I often end up going to whatever is nearby and convenient at the time. I knew […]

Everyone I know who has been to Copenhagen has visited the Little Mermaid, and almost all of them have felt disappointed by the statue. But I am all for forming […]

Glyptotek Museum: Artwork in a Winter Garden

Exploring Copenhagen with a Self-Guided Walking Tour
As a seasoned traveller, I’ve tried my fair share of walking tours but not without issue. Often I can’t always hear the guides, I miss important information; or I don’t have enough time to take the photos and videos I want before being frogmarched on to the next stop. So when Around Tours approached me […]

Belém Tower: Navigating Lisbon’s UNESCO World Heritage Site
It was my last day in Lisbon, so naturally I was trying to squeeze as much in as I could. We had just left the Santa Justa Lift and grabbed a Pasteis De Nata whilst we waited for an Uber to take us to our next destination, Belém Tower. Six cancellations later and one finally […]

Santa Justa Lift: Exploring Lisbon from above
It was my final morning in Lisbon, and my plane was due to fly home that evening, so I wanted to visit a few highlights before leaving. We had made our plans the night before over a few cocktails in a nearby bar. First thing we would head straight to the Santa Justa lift, before […]
