Plans for my London trip
Yeah baby! When you’re reading this, the count down is seriously on: in little over 24 hours I will be hitting up good ol’ London town once more. I will only be gone for a few days, but since this is the 4th year in a row I’m going there, I think that is plenty…

Dublin Day 5,6,7 & 8: Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Writer’s Museum, Shopping
Day 5: After the long walk the day before, I was tired, cranky and exceptionally lazy. On top of all that, I was in some serious muscle pain from the walk as well so I slept in late and we didn’t set off for doing anything until the early afternoon. This day we wanted to…

Dublin Day 4: Howth
On Day 4 of the trip we left Dublin and took at bus to nearby Howth. This is a little fishing town about 30 minutes away from Dublin where you have some great views over the sea. It makes for great hiking: if you take bus 31 from Eden Quay in Dublin it will take…

I finally finished unpacking and getting reorganized after coming home from my trip to Dublin. So it’s time for an update on the stuff I did in Dublin. I will have to divide it up into a few posts, as sticking it all into one post would just make one very long post and I…

Places I’d Like to Visit
I know, I know. I only just got back, but especially at times like this I think up my list of places I would still like to visit some day in the (near) future. Most of these places have been on my wish list for a while and I don’t know if I’ll ever get…

Study Trip to Edinburgh
After 8 days of being in London, I left in the early morning to catch a train, then a plane, then another train to hop onto a bus to get onto a boat for the rest of May 9th. Because work didn’t want me to travel from London to Edinburgh straight away I had to…

London Days 6, 7 & 8
After 5 days of touristy things and some sightseeing, my final days in London would be spent shopping. My friend left London in the middle of the night to catch a flight to Italy. That gave me plenty of time to scour the town for make up, clothes and of course, shoes. I arrived at…

Blog Challenge Day 28: My favorite place
This one’s easy, my favorite place on the planet is New York City. I first visited the Big Apple when I was 19. It was my first solo vacation: 3 days with temperatures far below zero. Yet, I loved every minute of it. Since that first time, I’ve been back 4 times, spending a total…

Blog Challenge Day 20: A photo of a place you’ve been to
Paris! Oh how I love thee! Perhaps a town you wouldn’t quickly associate me with, but I have been to Paris several times. Mostly, because I used to have a friend who lived there and I would go over once every 6 months to visit her and vice versa. It’s been a while since I…
