  • A 5-Day Andalusian Road Trip: Málaga, Gibraltar, Utrera, Sevilla & Setenil 

    There are trips you plan for months, and then there are the ones that simply happen; messy, sun-soaked, full of surprises, and somehow more perfect because of it. This little adventure across Andalucía was exactly that. Five days, five completely different places, three hotels that couldn’t be more unlike each other, and thousands of steps that my legs still remember…

  • A Lazy Sunday in Oxford with My Dad: Coffee, Castles & Cinnamon Rolls

    There’s something magical about Oxford. That mix of grand old buildings, cobbled lanes, and the faint smell of history (or maybe just strong coffee and damp leaves). It’s a city that never tries too hard to impress, because it knows it doesn’t have to. Last Sunday, I took my dad, who’s nearly 80, but still…

  • From Cheap Flights to Cherry Liquor: 72 Hours in Gdansk

    💸 The Real Cost of a “Cheap” Trip It’s tempting to think that booking cheap flights means you’ve scored yourself a cheap holiday. But let me tell you, those bargain tickets are just the start of the story. Always remember: Pro tips before you go: 🏨 Looking for somewhere to stay? Then take a look at Booking.com or Hostel…

  • Not Your Typical London Day: Street Art, Whale Tales & Wyspianski

    It was 9:30 AM when I stumbled out of the London Victoria Coach Station, bleary-eyed and running on four hours of sleep, one overripe banana, and the sheer thrill of being back in my favourite chaotic city. I wasn’t here for the usual Big Ben selfie or a Buckingham Palace wave. Nope. This trip was…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Three Enchanting Days in Madeira: A Christmas Season Getaway

    As the Christmas season rolls in, with its signature blend of twinkling lights, heartfelt exchanges of gifts, and the crisp chill of winter, it’s also a time that ushers in a deep reflection on the values of empathy and compassion. In a world bustling with busy schedules and endless responsibilities, this festive period stands as…

  • 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…
