PARNU | DAY 5 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

After a few stressful days of drinking, walking in beautiful countryside and meandering around lovely cities, we really needed a break and some time to relax; to just get away from it all. So we headed to Parnu, where we had booked a spa resort hotel. RESORT HOTEL AND SPA ESTONIA I jest. We genuinely … Continue reading PARNU | DAY 5 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

TALLINN | DAY 4 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

After a long day of walking,  we drove into central Tallinn for a meander around the old town. We were incredibly lucky with the weather - cold but not too cold for a wander. Even the bursts of rain timed themselves perfectly, appearing only as we went inside. OLD TOWN Its exceptionally pretty and really … Continue reading TALLINN | DAY 4 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

WALKING IN ESTONIA| DAY 3 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

And on the third day, our two faithful heroes woke up in their dollhouse style apartment in Tartu, ready for a day of bog walking in multiple locations around Estonia. They would like every day to be like this because it was a very special one. A very special one indeed. For real though, this … Continue reading WALKING IN ESTONIA| DAY 3 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

TARTU | DAY 2 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

AM. DAY TWO. RIGA. We made it to breakfast nice and early ready to get our butts on the road. Firstly though, we had to pick up a car. Otherwise this road trip would have taken a hell of a lot longer. Hamilton was driving because his birthday is before mine, meaning he is slightly … Continue reading TARTU | DAY 2 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

RIGA | DAY 1 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

Apologies for the radio silence but its been a bit of a crazy month. I went home to see my folks (and dog), then jumped on a plane to Riga, where Hamilton and I started a road trip around Estonia, before returning to Latvia. Following on from that, I flew back to London and within … Continue reading RIGA | DAY 1 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

MODERN ART IN MUSEUM SQUARE | AMSTERDAM DAY 2 | WEEKEND WANDERING

And on the second day, the clocks changed. Thus, we did not rise until late morning. Yet, it was still Sunday so we weren't in a rush, so we awoke slowly and meandered to Amersfoort train station, where we caught a train in to Amsterdam central to see some of the best modern art The … Continue reading MODERN ART IN MUSEUM SQUARE | AMSTERDAM DAY 2 | WEEKEND WANDERING

FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING

Considering its only a 45 minute plane ride away and a good friend of mine lives there its pretty much a travesty that I hadn't visited Amsterdam since 2015. Though judging by the title of this post, you've probably figured out that I finally managed to return to the land of cheese and beer... Last … Continue reading FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING

LONDON’S MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE CAFE | WEEKEND WANDERING

Over the past few months, my friends and I have seen one cafe - Elan Cafe, all over Instagram; with its milennial pink decor, floral wall and gorgeous looking cakes, we put it on our must visit list. Also on our list, was the Winnie the Pooh exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum, and … Continue reading LONDON’S MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE CAFE | WEEKEND WANDERING

MY TOP 5 LONDON EATS (AT THE MOMENT)

London has an amazingly varied selection of cafes and restaurants - you could eat at a different place every day and not have to repeat yourself. Amazingly though, this is something that I often find myself doing. Apparently its not only old habits that die hard. These are a few places I really like: Dishoom … Continue reading MY TOP 5 LONDON EATS (AT THE MOMENT)

CHIHUAHUA CAFE | EDINBURGH | WEEKEND WANDERING

Usually I love the train journey up to Edinburgh - its about 5.5 hours long but it gives me time to write, read and watch tv in comfortable, warm seats. Usually moments when I get to do these things are slotted in in between stressful ones and are therefore very rarely dedicated just to this; … Continue reading CHIHUAHUA CAFE | EDINBURGH | WEEKEND WANDERING
