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 [...]

Friday Postcard: Brighton Pier

Posted on 09. Mar, 2012 by Steph.

Today’s stunning picture comes from Becky over at Global Grasshopper: The ruined Brighton West Pier at dusk. This is still one of our favorite spots in the UK and by the amount of people sitting on the beach watching the sun set, it’s many other people’s too. (Do you have a photo you’d like to see featured [...]

Today’s handsome postcard comes from Bob of the Travelling Fool: Spoke to this guy for awhile and found out to be a Beefeater you must be retired military and most are retired CSM from the British Army. They live at the tower of London and their official job is to guard the king and Crown [...]

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 [...]

London is full of interesting and old pubs. The wedge-shaped Black Friars pub was built in 1875. Notice the actual black friar on the front. (Do you have a photo you’d like to see featured here? Email me at Steph@twenty-somethingtravel.com)

Fridy Postcard: Oxford, England

Posted on 22. Oct, 2010 by Steph.

I adore literary landmarks, and Oxford is overflowing with them. The Eagle and Child is famous for being the pub where CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien (both Oxford professors) would hang out, have a drink, and compare manuscripts. Along with a couple other writers they called themselves The Inklings. Over pints at this pub two [...]

I’m not a vegetarian but I do love food and I LOVE London. Today’s guest post highlights some fabulous budget finds in this expensive city.

The London Book Project

Posted on 15. Jul, 2010 by Steph.

If you haven’t been paying attention: I really love to read. I’m a total nerd of the English major variety. My room is overflowing with books that I can never seem to whittle down. I’m such a nerd I even named my cat after TS Eliot: Awhile back I wrote a guest post for Sharing [...]

The Art of English Gardening

Posted on 30. May, 2010 by Steph.

Back in February, when I was suffering through the torturous Snowpocalypse, it was really hard to believe that warm weather would ever return again. Springtime always makes me think of England. Although their winters are even longer and darker then around here, they sure know how to take advantage of the weather they do have, [...]
