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 →
Day 1 - Dingle Day 2 - Cliffs of Moher Day 3 & 4 - Bushmills, Giant's Causeway After we left Giant's Causeway we went to the famed Dark Hedges - a bit underwhelming but it was a literal 20 minute drive in the right direction from Giant's Causeway so in that sense it was... Continue Reading →

My mom had never been to Ireland, but wanted to go since I always seemed to sing it's praises. We decided when she was here to go for a week. We flew into Kerry and drove pretty much around the entire island (excluding the south) and flew back out of Kerry. I think she really... Continue Reading →
My colleagues and I decided it was a good idea to go to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day. We didn't really want to spend it in Dublin as it gets rather crazy and is even more expensive than London. ("Did you hear Ireland is so expensive? It's Dublin in price!") - Sorry not sorry! We... Continue Reading →
Wanting to avoid spending a ton of money, I decided to stay over here for Christmas. My friend invited me and our other friend to come have Christmas with her in the south of France in Pau, near the Pyrenees. I took the Eurostar from St. Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord (foul train station).... Continue Reading →
