  • Divided Walls & United Spirits: My One-Day Dive into Belfast’s Bold and Beautiful Soul

    After two hours of sleep, just a camera and passport in my bag, I found myself climbing aboard the National Express at 3:00 AM, bleary-eyed and fuelled only by sheer willpower (and a bit of travel adrenaline). The coach whisked me off to Bristol Airport, where the real magic began. Still half-asleep but buzzing with anticipation,…

  • Poland’s Most Magical Christmas Markets: Your Must-Visit List

    If you love the smell of mulled wine, twinkling fairy lights, and nibbling on festive treats (hi, pierogi!), then you’re going to adore Poland at Christmas time. Even though I’m Polish by birth, I rarely get to visit my homeland. This winter, I decided to make the most of the festive season and hop around…

  • Three Fab Days in Prague: A Travel Tale

    When your best mate from Australia suggests a rendezvous in Prague rather than the usual Newport haunts, you say yes before they’ve even finished the sentence! So, off we toddled to Prague, starting our journey at London Gatwick. Thanks to some pesky roadworks, our drive took a cheeky hour and a half longer than planned.…

  • Exploring Girona in 24h: A Perfect Spanish Getaway

    When you casually filter the flights and see Girona for £30 return, it’s impossible not to book it. So I did, but then expenses started to grow. With my partner joining the trip, we had to book parking and accommodation. Before I knew it, we’d spent £200 without even leaving our bedroom. At least we…

  • A Weekend to Remember: Celebrating Family and Heritage in Gdansk

    As someone who calls Gdansk home, albeit from a distance, returning always feels like a reconnection with my roots. It’s a city that doesn’t see me as often as it should, but this particular visit was marked by an occasion too special to miss: my father’s 77th birthday. This wasn’t just any trip; it was…

  • A Whirlwind Weekend in Malta: Unforgettable Memories and Hidden Gems

    Sometimes, the most spontaneous decisions lead to the most memorable adventures. When my best friend Kamila told me she was taking a two-week English course in Malta, I knew I had to seize the opportunity. Without a second thought, I booked a plane ticket to visit her for a weekend in mid-November. What unfolded over…

  • A Late Evening in Birmingham: Surprising Discoveries and Unforgettable Experiences

    Often, the cities we least expect to enchant us are the ones that leave the most lasting impressions. Such was the case with Birmingham for me. Never truly on my radar as a must-visit destination, fate threw a serendipitous chance my way. Armed with my trusty Google Pixel 6 Pro, and with my partner by…
