To report on our recent trip to NYC, I decided to offer something different first up and write about the time we spent in Brooklyn. Although the majority of the popular NYC sights tourists hit up are in Manhattan, there’s loads going on in Brooklyn that allow you to see another side of NYC and [...]

Following our tour around Ha Long Bay and a few days in Hanoi, we made our way south further down the coast of Vietnam to see what more awesome culinary delights and historical sites we could find. Having originally planned to take the train from Hanoi to Hue, we instead opted for the faster means of [...]

When we decided to visit Vietnam, I got excited to immerse myself in the chaos of South East Asia again. The last time I was in this part of the world was in late 2009, so the idea of dodging scooters, eating street food and drinking cheap beer was well overdue. We arrived on a [...]

Ha Long Bay is hailed as one of the great natural wonders of the world. It’s high up there on many peoples bucket lists and this Vietnamese national treasure is unlike any other place in the world. So when we were planning our trip through Vietnam, there was no way we were going to miss [...]

Following on from our Christmas and NYE 2013 adventures in my home town of Melbourne, we started making our way back to London via South East Asia. As we were flying with Malaysia Airlines, we had a stopover in Kuala Lumpur as a reintroduction to Asia before we slingshotted up to Vietnam. I’d been to [...]

After we got over the Christmas food coma and endured the first heatwave, we ventured into the city to stay at a few choice hotels and sample the hospitality the Victorian [...]

I’d always wanted to check out Luxembourg. Something about the little country’s location, small size and influence from the 3 countries around it made me want to see what it was all about. When cheap Cityjet flights out of London City (LCY) airport came up not that long ago, I decided I’d treat my girlfriend [...]

JM – Montreal is a city I’ve always been fascinated by. It’s in the heart of French Canada and has that whole “feel like France but it’s in North America” feel about it. When Marie-Eve from A Montrealer Abroad approached me to write a guest post about her home town, I couldn’t wait to hear [...]

I’d been wanting to see Prague for a while. It was high up on my “Central/Eastern Europe” list, and a city I was only really interested in seeing in the summer due to how cold it gets around that area during winter. I’d heard of how historic and beautiful it was, but also how cheap [...]

JM – When Karen Guttridge from Ladyhiker approached me about writing a guest post about Cyprus, I asked if you could cover the whole island in a weekend. She assured me that even in the town of Paphos there was enough to enjoy a sun-soaked weekend of great Mediterranean food, scenic hiking and history. I [...]
