6 European Cities in 6 Days

Tallest Buildings in the World

Whenever I visit a new country or city, my first port of call is always to see the view from the highest point. Majority of the time that’s from the tallest skyscraper or on top of a mountain. I love to figure out my bearings so I can navigate and plan a successful trip. I’m slightly obsessed with viewing decks and skylines - it’s always my favourite part of any new city that I visit.

17 Best Places to Visit in Berlin, Germany

I must have visited Berlin over 10 times in my life. As I mentioned in my bio, I’m a quarter German and have a Great Auntie who lives in the city. It kind of feels like a second home.

This was a totally spontaneous trip that turned into one of my all-time favourites.

So, we arranged a hire car from the hotel, for two days and thought why not travel to another country? As you do. This is when Europe has its perks.

12 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Reading Festival

Undoubtedly one of the best weekends of my life! Back in August 2012, we took the ultimate, most awesome group of people to Richfield Avenue. Also known as READING FEST! Let me explain those four days in one sentence - front row for Foo Fighters, silent discos in onesies, camping with my besties, campfires and drinking all bloody day. Honestly some of the most fun I’ve ever had… (coughs) I won’t mention the rain, mud, toilets or the traffic.
