Since my last experience staying in a short-term apartment rental in Madrid, I’d been hooked – hooked on the conveniences of an apartment, the freedom and space, and most of all, the ability to experience the city like a local. On a recent trip to London, Roomorama gave me a chance to test out one of their vacation home rentals and although there [...]
This is a sponsored guest post by Suzie Saw. As a Brit, I confess I’m always seeking ways to leave England behind and experience something new. But after two years of travelling abroad and hearing about other people’s great experiences in my own country, I thought I’d better explore it myself before the itchy feet [...]

I recently spent two days walking the Peak District, an area of outstanding natural beauty and biodiversity spreading across Central and Northern England. It was [...]
This is a sponsored guest post by Yuli Linssen Kaminitz. Every summer, Europe plays host to hundreds of a myriad of festivals – from flamboyant arts festivals to colorful parades and gyrating dance parties. Each one of them is bigger, crazier and funkier than the other. London, being the hub of …
This is a sponsored guest post by Sergio Santos. With a record number of over 1.5 million visitors expected to pour into London to catch a glimpse of the Royal Wedding this Spring, it could prove a challenge to scout out the best vantage points along the …
Almost 100 miles away from mainland Britain lies a group of gorgeous, sun-kissed islands. The archipelago, known as the Channel Islands, are far south of mainland Britain yet only 14 miles from the coast of Normandy, France. With its location along the French coastline, it’s hard to believe you’re in British …
From nerve-wrecking cliff jumps to learning bushcrafting in the woods, the Welsh Showdown (organized by Visit Britain) has challenged us beyond our limits and put our wits and courage to the test. The wacky road trip has also shown us the stunning cliffs and pastel-green pastures of Welsh back …
Strolling through the languid streets of downtown Cardiff, it’s hard to believe that this calm city is the capital of the country. Wales, being the brother of England, is a country on its own, distinctive in culture, landscape and history. Yet not many people know this. Perhaps that’s …
It definitely doesn’t get more bizarre than this: seeing heaps of sheep poo converted into thick sheets of recycled paper. And that’s not just it. We are getting down and dirty and trying our hands at making sheep poo paper ourselves. It’s Day 4 of …
Legs wobbly, stomach queasy, I am about to take the leap off a 15-feet tall cliff. Looking down at the churning waters, my head swirls but before I know it, I’m in the air, plunging feet first into the sea. Seconds later I resurface, only to be swept …
It’s not everyday I find myself bushcrafting in the middle of the Gower Forest in South Wales but there I was – with nothing but two chunks of wood – attempting to start a fire the way prehistoric men did. We are on our next challenge of the …
I used to think of myself as quite the linguist, not until Welsh came and threw my language skills right out the window. Day 1 of the Great Welsh Showdown and we’re already faced with a pretty darn interesting challenge: picking up the old Celtic language of Welsh. …
It’s a cloudy evening here in London. I’ve arrived to the capital of England ready to embark on quite an extraordinary journey. It’s not just any other press trip: With five other travel bloggers from around Asia and Australia, I’ll be taking on a four-day challenge in Wales. …
This week we’ll take a break from my India journals and head back to Europe. The world’s capital, London, is the epicenter of great food, cultural enclaves and historical museums. But it’s always been notorious for its exorbitant prices and extravagant bites. This week’s sponsored post provides us with …
In a country like Ireland – sprawled with patchworks of greenery and rural life – a driving trip would be the best way to explore its countryside and cities, and get a real taste of the country. As a relatively small nation, driving distances from one attraction/destination to the next are usually not …
