US Expat living in London
Budapest was on my list so I added it to my itenerary for this December trip. The best way to get there, I decided was to take an overnight train. For about £90 I secured myself a single bed cabin (with my own toilet and shower!) plus snacks via Polrail. The Chopin is an overnight... Continue Reading →
Kazimierez - a historical district on the southern side of Krakow has been home to the Jewish community of Krakow since the end of the 13th Century. It is full of history, interesting and horrible both. Part of it became Krakow's Jewish Ghetto during WWII - most of the ghetto inhabitants were sent to their... Continue Reading →
Getting to Krakow city centre from the airport was very easy. Just follow the signs to the train and purchase a ticket at the kiosk while you wait for it to arrive. It drops you off at Kraków Główny (the main train station). Once there you get to walk through a mall which is kind... Continue Reading →
I don't know how I ended up wanting to go to Krakow but I got it in my head I needed to go and let me tell you - I was not disappointed. Quite the opposite- It's one of my favourite places. I did a bit of research before I went but to be honest,... Continue Reading →
Autumn is my favourite time of year here in London (followed closely by Spring!). The weather is great, and the leaves are changing colours. I can get out my scarves and hats again and it begins to feel like Christmas. This Autumn provided a lot of really lovely things: I had a friend visit, we... Continue Reading →
It had been since February since I had seen my family properly, so I went home in October to see them and to attend my final Disney Wrap Party for Ralph Breaks the Internet. It was great to get home, but admittedly, I do not miss the traffic! I was able to talk my family into... Continue Reading →

Her cousin is my childhood best friend Kristin and we've all been pal-ing around for quite awhile! Erica and I have a lot of the same interests; true crime, beer, cheese.. ha! So I...

With the impending birth of my first niece I realised I had better get working on her quilt! I found a cute quilt store I wanted to check out called 'The Quilt Room' out in Dorking. It was about an hour train ride and a bit of a hike from the train station to the... Continue Reading →
Back in 2009 I met my friend Colin working on Arthur Christmas at Sony. He's full of fun and adventure and was so glad to hear he'd be in town for a few days. I took him to alot of my favourite spots - many I have mentioned in previous posts. Our friend Carla came... Continue Reading →
I was looking for an easy day trip out of town and landed on St. Albans - sadly I decided this on a Sunday and I think it is actually better to go on a Saturday as it has quite a good market I'm told. From St. Pancras it's only 20 miles away via ThamesLink.... Continue Reading →
