Berlin is eccentric. People have tattoos and dyed purple hair. My first impression of Berlin was that it is made up of memorials and kebab shops. Is that rude? Maybe, but I would rather hurt you with truths than with lies. That being said, kebabs are delicious so I don’t see that as a negative. […]

I was craving a brezel and bratwurst so I took a little weekend trip to Berlin. I boarded my 109 euro (booked two months in advance) round trip train at Amsterdam Centraal. I knew it was a doozy of a 6.5-hour train ride so I loaded up on books and movies. Naturally, I did not

I wipe away my sweat-stash as I type this. Those of you who nodded your head in understanding, bravo. To the lucky ones who have no idea what that is- it is the perspiration that forms delicately under your nose, which turns into an attractive moustache. Not that any moustache on a lady is attractive

Malta, Malta, Malta. You sly fox, I almost didn’t see you there tucked down near northern Africa. You’re so small, I had sea views from the balcony of my hotel which was situated in the centre of the island. True story. When you first strut up to the capital Valletta you realise that the entire

I have been going to various yoga studios around where I live in order to take advantage of the trial week offers that they have. All the classes were taught in English. The majority of them I had to book online beforehand since some classes fill up quickly (depending on the size of the studio).
I had been to Edinburgh back in 2010 (back when I was poor). I stood outside the famous castle and admired it from behind the cold, black gate bars. I felt as though my wallet held me prisoner. Kidding, there was no gate, only a ticket agent named Susan. Flash forward to 2017, when I
I went to Copenhagen and now half of what was in my bank account is gone. Mind you, I did eat out every meal so that’s maybe why but you can never be too certain. Copenhagen is clean, small and how do I best put this? Well-to-do. I arrived late on a Thursday and had an

No, I didn’t just make up the word Efteling. It is the name of a fan-fricken-tastic amusement park in the Netherlands. It’s based on the Brothers Grimm fairy-tales. Now, you may think oh but I am just simply too old to go to a fairy-tale amusement park. WRONG. Well, mostly wrong. efteling rides There is

The Netherlands owns some islands. Now don’t get too excited, these particular ones don’t have palm trees or crystal-clear lagoons. Oh no, no. These bad boys are situated in the Wadden Sea. So you get to enjoy some crisp, cold North Sea air accompanied by flat farmland. There are five inhabited islands. I visited two
