This tweet pretty much sums up how I’m feeling right now because, well, I’ve only gone and opted for hand luggage only for a six day trip. And, with all my electrical goods, that doesn’t leave a lot of room for the necessities. As you may know, I’m going to Romania next week and I’m …
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!

At one point in time, travel was the antidote to technology; a time to get a way from it all and sail the seven seas (or something along those lines). Now, they go hand in hand. From start to finish … Continue reading »
Most of the time, we choose to live somewhere. Yes, you might have to move for work or some other commitment, but the vast majority of the time we choose where we set up our roots; there was something that attracted us to it in the first place.

Since I’m only publishing on average one post a week, I thought I’d do a regular round up of posts I’m reading elsewhere! Yay, right?! These are the kind of articles I would like to write but have the attention span of a gnat/don’t have enough hours in a day/get sidetracked by shiny things (delete … Continue reading »
… Or something along those lines! Yep, I am finally going to Romania next month after fantasizing about it for so long but, again, I need your help (like before I went to Copenhagen)! 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 »
