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 have my rant pants on so brace yourselves. I pull up a chair at a fancy, waterfront restaurant. Three dollar signs ($$$)! That is two and a half more than normal. This is relevant because it means I didn’t skimp. In the breezy, island weather, what would satisfy my taste buds is seafood soup.

Visas are so stupid. I just can’t fathom how a piece of paper can determine whether I am allowed to go into the country or not. When I went to Thailand last year, I didn’t even check to see if I needed one. I think living in the EU has made me a tad oblivious

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

This is way late. Two years and four months too late but for uni I went on an exchange to Cordoba, Spain and I saw some things. Malaga I flew into Malaga with my mother. What a delight she is travelling, like a toddler but with a more diverse vocabulary. Eats: Bar Mercado Atarazanas in

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

Serious backpacking question, how do you roll a taco wrap, properly? I end up ripping the shell with my massive claws and then everything, including my shame, spills out onto the plate. I’ve witnessed, in awe, those wrap masters or wrapsters, as some may say (no one but me), in fast food places that do

thailand itinerary I eat a lot. So naturally, that means I would be an amazing chef. Similar to how me walking up a flight of stairs without dry heaving makes me an Olympic athlete. I tried my hand at a cooking class in Chiang Mai since, apparently, that is the motherland* of Thai cooking. After

This Thai festival is straight out of Disney’s Tangled. So weird that a 750-year-old country would copy a 2010 film, but okay. You’ve all seen that perfect snap of those lantern releases on the gram. That was the most millennial thing I have ever said, sorry. I meant to say that there are gorgeous photos
