A Guide to Eating Vegan in Berlin
If you’re vegan or veggie and travel a lot, you’ll already know the struggle of trying to find somewhere that suits your dietary needs when abroad. I’m going to start off by saying how pleasantly surprised at how many vegan restaurants Berlin had – I thought England was okay for plant based restaurants and cafes […]

Money Diary: 24 hours in Berlin
Cost can be a huge factor when deciding where to plan a holiday to, so I’m back with how much a day in Berlin costs for the average couple! Part of me wants to bung another £60 onto the total as we cancelled our initial booking to visit Berlin due to storm Eunice in the […]

Towns You Need to Visit in the French Alps
I usually follow a rule of ‘try not to visit the same place twice’ when picking a country to go to, and having spent most of my childhood holidays here, for a while I avoided booking any trips to France. However, I am a sucker for a mountain holiday and wanted to experience some Après-ski […]

A Guide to Eating Vegan in and around Chamonix
Coming from a country where veganism is becoming increasingly more popular and most restaurants now have many plant based options, it’s often a bit of a gamble when going abroad as to whether I’ll be eating chips and salad for every meal or not!

However, after not spending much in the UK over the past couple of years, we’ve certainly had more […]

How to Get Around in the Alps: Public Transport Only!
Having only rented a car a couple of times before in the past, being completely honest the thought of it gives me so much anxiety and as a result I’ve always favoured public transport on my trips! However, with a lack of information online, when planning getting around on our trip to the Alps, I […]

Seeing More of Europe by Train
In the busy world we live in, time away for many of us can be quite limited, and if you’re like me and want to see the much of the world as possible, travelling to cities in bordering countries is a great way of ticking off some extra countries on your travels! These are some […]

A Weekend in Vienna
I’m really surprised that it’s taken me so long to visit Vienna as flights are usually so reasonably priced (ours actually cost only £18 return per person thanks to a Wizzair sale!) and it takes less than 3 hours to fly there from London! Accommodation Hotels seem to be around €100 per night depending on […]

Bratislava’s Most Picturesque Locations
Bratislava is probably one of Europe’s lesser known tourist destinations, but ended up being one of my favourites. I do believe that once you’ve visited enough mainland Europe cities, they all start to look very similar, but something about Bratislava’s castle and old town felt magical! We actually stayed in Vienna, just across the boarder […]
