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 2018 brought four lovely people to visit: Colin, Erica, Danielle and Caitlin. I've known Erica for almost my whole life. 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...

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 →

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 →
Day 1 - Dingle Day 2 - Cliffs of Moher Day three led us to Northern Ireland. We took a drive through Donegal, Sligo and into Derry / Londonderry into Northern Ireland. We pulled off in random spots and were rewarded with some amazing views. We came across an Kylemore Abbey which is gorgeous -... Continue Reading →
Last weekend was a bank holiday (hooray!) which meant I had an extra weekend day to do something fun! My lovely friends Carla and Prak invited me to spend the night at theirs in Bristol. I had been to Bristol before so I was fine with just hanging out and getting out of ye olde... 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 →
