I Really Miss England

Posted on 23. Apr, 2012 by Steph.

It might be hard to believe, since I’m constantly writing about it , but I haven’t set foot in England in nearly three years. In that time I’ve visited many continents and countries and seen so many amazing things. I’ve lived in places as far flung as China and Argentina, yet England is always there [...]

The Book Lover’s Guide to London

Posted on 15. Mar, 2012 by Steph.

London is a passionate reader’s dream. It sports over 2000 years of history and has been the home and muse of hundreds of notable authors. People don’t just write in London, they write ABOUT London. It’s not just a setting, it’s a character. I am definitely one of those bibliophiles. I studied London in Literature [...]

The Hidden Corners of London

Posted on 12. Feb, 2012 by Steph.

London is literally the most visited city in the world. Every year 27 million tourists stream through Trafalgar Square, the British Museum and Westminster Abbey.

The Closest I’ve Been to France

Posted on 17. Nov, 2011 by Steph.

So this is a little embarrassing to admit, seeing as I’m a self styled travel expert and all, but here it is: I’ve never been to Paris. Or anywhere in France actually. I’ve been to Spain, Italy, Holland, I’ve even spent a year living just across the channel in England, but I somehow never made [...]

How a Week in Iceland Changed my Life

Posted on 16. Aug, 2011 by Steph.

Everyone seems to remember that moment when they first decided they wanted to travel. Well I don’t. I just started one day, fell into it because I was graduating from college and didn’t know what else to do with myself. There was no a-ha moment for me to tell you about. So instead I will [...]

Why Naples is Better Than You’ve Heard

Posted on 11. Aug, 2011 by Guest Poster.

Quick – when I say “Naples,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Garbage? Mafia? Pickpockets? If any of these negatives are the first things to pop into your head, you’re not alone. There’s no getting around it – Naples has a PR problem. As is often the case, however, there’s more than one [...]

What Not To Do While In Greece

Posted on 18. Jan, 2011 by Guest Poster.

I giggled out loud when I read this post in my inbox. Even if you don’t have first hand experience with booze cruises, or Australian boys, hopefully you can appreciate it as well. Many years ago, when I was but a young lad I was prone to doing very stupid things. One of the stupidest [...]

In Rome, Past is Present

Posted on 17. Aug, 2010 by Steph.

Rome is enormous, and that’s why I love it. It’s not just that it’s a big city (although it is), or that it has an unmistakable frenetic energy. Rome is one of those European capitals that is truly epic. It’s history stretches two and a half thousand years back, far past the time of Jesus [...]

A Roman Holiday

Posted on 10. Aug, 2010 by Steph.

I wasn’t actually in rome for Christmas, just until December 23rd. It sure felt festive though: It was a great time to visit; festive and cheery, lacking in tourists and good weather. It might have been geography, or just luck but compared to chilly Venice and Florence, Rome was downright pleasant. At times it seemed [...]
