Krakow – Warsaw – Gdansk in 6 days Like many others during the pandemic, I had several trips cancelled. My most recent trip was supposed to be Mykonos in Greece, sadly I had to cancel that and my options of places to go were few and far between. Poland was still reporting low numbers and …
Images taken on my daily run/walk that show Edinburgh’s deserted streets during the Coronavirus lockdown in April 2020. The usually bustling Capital with very few people around, most people adhering to social distancing and stay at home orders. Just venturing out for daily exercise or essential food/medicine.

March 2020 will always be remembered as the month when life as we knew it in the UK changed. We had it all and we never even realised, you know when people say ‘enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things’, well it …
Three cities in one, Budapest has a majestic setting astride the River Danube. Óbuda, Buda and Pest became one city in 1843. They are all linked by bridges but retain their own identity.

Top sights include the beautiful Duomo, Sforzesco Castle and Leonardo DaVinci’s The Last Supper. I recently visited Milan for a weekend. I left after work on a Friday and …
There is nothing I love more than to plan trips. I love researching how to get where I’m going, what trips to take when there, what hotels to stay at and where is good to eat! But there is no denying it can be extremely time consuming – I literally lose hours when I start …
I have a GIANT and ever-growing list of places I want to visit. My list is a mix of the ‘originals’ like Amsterdam and up and coming hotspots like Porto – there are always new places emerging to add to my list. It’s not like you have a list you go to these places and …
This was my first solo trip. I had wanted to travel on my own for a long time but had never quite been brave enough to hit the book button! Would you believe I had never been to Italy before, ever? Crazy I know. It was an obvious choice for me, the short flight coming …
