The Quaint English Town of Oakham
Beautiful Oakham is a historic town in England's smallest county of Rutland, which is in the East Midlands. Oakham is twenty five miles away from the city of Leicester. Oakham is one of my favourite places to spend an afternoon, it's like stepping back in time. The town's history is incredible, and the beauty of the town is picture postcard, an English town at its finest. It's a treat to go there and enjoy everything it has to offer.

Budapest 2019
Budapest, Hungary’s capitals, are split into two cities, Buda and Pest, by the River Danube. Its famous 19th century Chain Bridge connects the hilly Buda district to the flat Pest. It's an amazing sight, when walked acrossed, being able to see both sides, and the beauty it holds. The bridge itself shows how different both sides were, including that the Buda side was more about culture and the ethnicity of Budapest, while Pest was more about the local community, students, and the best bars. Overall the quality and enthusiasm from the local people and country is breathtaking.

TOP 10 Broke Girl Adventures
Let’s be real, summer is approaching with quickness, okay, okay. Some of us (me AF) are awful at saving money. So here it is summer—almost—and I’m kicking myself in the ass because I wasn’t strict on my saving plans. Now I don’t have nearly as much as planned to have an epic summer. I know I’m not the only one with this problem, so I figured I’d post my Summer Broke Girl Bucket List—trust me, it’s worth the read, even if you’re not broke and want to have a lit but cheap summer.

Cruising Round Japan Was Worth It!
After a long flight and a few nights in Tokyo, I took my first steps onto Diamond Princess, a spectacular boat catering to 3,000 guests of 40 nationalities. To be one of them was a privilege I’ll never forget. I’ve been on two cruises with P&O and this was my first Princess cruise, and whilst it’s still a bit hard to say which cruise company I prefer, I would say this cruise has been my favourite so far because of the ports and how they appealed to me.

A Distant Whistle
With sheer excitement, the anticipation was palpable. The faint whistle sounding in the distance was slowly followed by a plume of white steam rising behind the bare winter trees. The platforms of Pickering Station were packed. Children held aloft on their parents’ shoulders, all wrapped in thick coats, woolly hats, and gloves. The crowds stood on their tiptoes, leaning to glimpse the approaching steam pillar. That eagerness was rewarded as the Black Five Steam locomotive chugged into platform one. The awe and wonder—as this majestic machine came to a halt—was bathed, alongside the dispersing steam, across every child’s face; including my own.
