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 →
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 →
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 →

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 →
