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 →
Krakow Christmas Market and Rynek Głowny
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 →
Krakow
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 →

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 →
St. Albans
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 →
London – Sky Garden and Brick Lane
Next time you're in London be sure to book a visit to London's Sky Garden. You can only book a week or two ahead but there are multiple times to visit. It's easiest to get tickets during the week rather than on a weekend. My mom and I went the day after we returned from... Continue Reading →

Brighton for a Bank Holiday
Not wanting to spend my entire weekend in the flat during this weekend's Bank Holiday (Good Friday and Easter Monday) and lamenting the bad weather - I decided to endure the bad weather somewhere else! I hadn't been to Brighton yet and it's only an hour train trip from London Bridge Station which is pretty... Continue Reading →
Los Angeles Part 2
The rest of the time I spent in LA was trying to see more friends, spending time with family and trying to get rid of stuff I haphazardly threw into storage, my moms house and my car - which was/is still hanging out at my old landlord's house - he's the best for reals. We... Continue Reading →
