When I told my friend in Dallas that I was going to come and visit he wondered what a British girl would do in Texas. A few others thought I was mad but I have just had the time of my life with simply amazing new experiences every day. One thing that I imagine every [...]

Hungry in Helsinki?
Posted in Destinations, Scandinavia, tagged finland, helsinki, restaurants on August 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Helsinki has just been rated as the city with the best standard of living by Wallpaper Magazine. Situated around a harbour, with green islands in sight, and available by numerous boat trips, and Scandinavian buildings around small parks, you can see it wouldn’t be hard to live here. But this is August, not January when [...]
Copenhagen: perfect in the Scandinavian sun
Posted in Scandinavia, tagged copenahgen, restaurants on May 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If you visit Copenhagen when the sun shines and there is a warm breeze, it’s hard to understand why only 5.5million people live in Denmark. If I was guaranteed weather like that I would move tomorrow. But I guess it’s not so for now, a weekend visit in this glorious spring and summer will suffice. [...]
San Francisco, CA

When an American friend of mine moved from Paris to San Francisco he told me this the America I want my European friends to see. Now I understand. The city seems to be made up of villages, in the same way as Paris. Each area has it’s own character, and it’s high streets are not [...]

It’s 2011 and I’m back on the road. I’m now back based in the lovely city of Paris and the travels are commencing. Firstly, a whistle stop tour of Germany (well, part of it.) Frankfurt is a hub in terms of logistics, with many trains and planes passing through, and also as a financial district. [...]
New York City

I’ve been to New York twice before, and only once as an adult (where we did a tourist trip – Empire States building, Times Square, horse-drawn carriages, the works). I didn’t think I liked the city that much so I was pleasantly surprised when spending a week with a good friend who moved earlier this [...]

I have just spent a few weeks in Paris and have discovered that a whole load of new cafes and bars have sprung up in what used to be a bit of a run down area. It’s by the Marie III and rue Dupuis. I spent a delightful day with friends discovering a few places [...]
Belgrade, Serbia

In my continuing exploration of Eastern Europe and the ex-Yugoslav countries for work, I was in Belgrade last week. When i told my dad he said ‘Oh, I’m sorry’ which I was really curious about, I was really looking forward to it. My favourite place was a street call Skadarlija. It’s a cobbled pedestrian street [...]
