Showering in a sink over a traumatic 25 hour stay in Stansted Airport is something I kinda feel proud of in a survivor-level-ten kind of way, but it wasn’t exactly something I ever intended to repeat. Of course, I didn’t take into account the fact that I stupidly assumed that an overnight train would haveContinue reading #1862 | I have showered in way too many sinks // The Sleeper Train Survivor Guide
Stuttgart, GermanyIt’s so easy to claim you’ve been bitten by the wanderlust bug but there’s a very compelling part of me that is also undeniably a creature of comfort, someone who wants to close the tabs on all the fare compare sites and my google calendar and hide under my comforter where I don’t haveContinue reading #1853| It’s a small world after all

Berlin, GermanyAs promised, stories of a happier Berlin. Berlin is really living proof of how important the weather is when it comes to travel. After an almost completely miserable first day in the city de las Artes, the sun came out in all its brilliance on day two. We did so much more on dayContinue reading #1842| berlin baby
Stuttgart, GermanySo it’s been a month since I’ve settled into my new place in Universitat Stuttgart and about a week since I’ve finished Spring semester and started my Summer one proper.. and finally it seems like my life has some semblance of order – the past three months has had a sort of unshakably temporalContinue reading #1841| An afternoon in Stuttgart
Rheinfall, Northern SwitzerlandI did say road tripping was going to become a thing, didn’t I – last weekend, we rented a Merc and drove up to Switzerland with the main aim of trying swiss cheese and healing all ailments with fresh air from the alps. Or is that the fountain of eternal youth I’m thinkingContinue reading #1840| Roadtrippin: Rheinfall
Berlin Wall, GermanyMy first day in Berlin was spent wandering around the city in a haze of confusion – surely this can’t be it. After all the hype I’d been hearing about Berlin, center for the arts, city of quirks and character, the city in real life reeked undeniably of the morning after a party.Continue reading #1837| Wanderlust: Berlin Wall Brilliance
