There’s no doubt about it – travel has changed drastically, spiraling into a completely different concept today than it was back at the start of its existence (if we can even trace it back to the “beginning”). In the days of Columbus, Polo, Cook, and Livingston, travel was what we would consider an epic journey or voyage …
I was in London on Saturday, looking around some art galleries. It’s on days like this that I tend to spend most of my time in the gift shops because, well, I bloody love gallery gift shops. It was in the Wellcome Collection’s gift shop that I found a whole stand of quirky, illustrated maps …
So, like I promised, here is another installment of what I’ve been reading and enjoying recently. It’s a bit of a mixed-bag, including some language-related posts, as well as some photography and video fuelled ones. Let me know in the comments if there is anything else I should be reading!

Brasov Square Romania is not one of those places you see all over the internet; it’s quiet and modest and, well, … Continue reading »
Wanderful World is all about making the most out of a short getaway and your time off work, so I’ve decided to publish this guest post by Lisa from travel blog Libelletage which gives advice that I can’t give (for starters, I don’t have a family and I’m not from America!). I hope you enjoy … Continue reading »
I’ve mentioned before how much I loved the arty district of Montmartre in Paris with its combination of unique local artists, traditional restaurants and cafes, and the spectacular views over the city, so I thought I’d dazzle you all with some photos of my favourite place in Paris! At the top of the hill sits … Continue reading »
