London, I Love You
London is a city drenched in history, covering bloody war, epic music, fashion, and royalty. It is a global landmark of culture and adventure, and it does not disappoint. I have wanted to live here since I was seven. I remember having the conversation with my aunt:

And for a reason. A hidden gem? Europe’s best-kept secret? A Balkan paradise? Unmissable yacht lovers’ stop? Definitions that come close, yet fail to convey fully, the fairy-tale likeness of this destination—that has something to offer for everyone.

Snow in England
Well. After all this hot weather, I felt it would be very apt to write my article on the snow we had at the start of the year.

Five Cities to Visit in the Netherlands That Are Not Amsterdam
Typically when you tell people you are Dutch, the response is usually the same. "So you're from Germany?" No, Germans are from Germany.

Hill Farming - A Day in the Life of a Van-Dweller
We set off from the far south stretch of England, northbound to the rolling hills of the Peak District. We had a long drive ahead of us. We were leaving behind the rocky shoreline of Cornwall, to work and explore the beautiful landscape of Derbyshire.

Scottish Motorcycle Diaries
Be you an adventure seeker or a treasure hunter, chances are you can tick both boxes by strapping on a bike helmet and heading for the North of Scotland. I recently made the trip to the beautiful Arisaig peninsula, which sits on the western coast of Scotland before it gives way to the sea and The Small Isles of Eigg and Rum. The journey itself takes in the untamed wilderness of Rannoch Moor and Glencoe; which is where we find our adventure, navigating the serpent-like roads, the treasure is found when the clouds break and spill light across the ferocious looking mountain tops. We have had a fairly exceptional summer in Scottish terms, bright blue skies and warm, balmy nights. Sadly it was back to normal business when I set off from my home in West Lothian, under oppressive grey clouds.

Venice and Milan
With a week break before the bread and butter of lectures commence, I was at a bit of a loose end for the first time in a while. Any days of boredom were prevented by a suggestion of going travelling for a couple of days into Italy.

Zurich
The latest of my wanders into Europe took me outside of the European Union for the very first time. The city of Zurich, Switzerland was our oyster for just over 24 hours.

My Ukrainian Epiphany
We get out of the car, stepping onto the red brick sidewalk. I look around and take in the sight. Across the street sits the Kyiven Opera, coated in a peeling layer of paint the color of milk hot chocolate. Construction is well underway, with a copious amount of scaffolding surrounding the golden dome of the ancient building.

The Best Things to Do in Tarragona, Spain
When people ask where I went on holiday and I tell them Tarragona they all give the same ‘never-heard-of-it’ shrug, and I’d never heard of it either until I found it on the LuckyTrip app.
