The Broke Student’s Guide To Travel
River Thames, LondonWe spent a rare sunny afternoon in London walking down the River Thames, people watching and listening to free concerts, trying to get into the Shakespeare’s Globe and wondering if we could push kids into the river without anyone noticing.. or maybe that last bit was just me. It was so lovely –Continue reading #1856| One afternoon by the wharf
All photos in this post taken with the Canon 500D on the 50f1.8 lens, the Nikon 1 J2, and the iphone 5sSalzburg, AustriaI feel like these three photos perfectly sum up Salzburg for me – it was raining the entire time I was there (save for the one sunny day I had spent HIKING withContinue reading #1855| Wanderlust: Salzburg
I’ve heard so much about couchsurfing but I’ve never had the opportunity to do it because 1. there’s nowhere to couchsurf to in singapore, 2. it’s cheap enough to get a hotel in most southeast asian countries without blinking twice and 3. Asians are just more conservative I guess. But I’ve always wanted to tryContinue reading #1854| Couchsurfing Baby
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
All photos above taken with the Canon 500D on the 50f1.8 lens and the Nikon 1 J2Salzburg, AustriaWhat exactly transpired, I believe, is this – Shane started singing some kentucky fried chicken pizza hut song on the streets in the middle of the night in Salzburg, and to my general horror, started engaging in aContinue reading #1852| the best chicken in austria
I’ve been getting a lot of questions on ask.fm on what exactly it is I’m doing now and how it is I’m traveling so much, so I thought I’d just compile them into an info post for those of you who’ve been asking 🙂 I’ll also include information on applying for this exchange program andContinue reading #1851| Around the world in 212 days
Lucerne, SwitzerlandAm I the only person who hasn’t heard of Lucerne before this? Somehow, it doesn’t seem possible – yet Lucerne was everything I was looking for in a Swiss city: scenic, architecturally pretty, and heartbreakingly expensive. If my only complaint about Zurich was that it just wasn’t very Alp-sy, that solved itself in LucerneContinue reading #1849 | Wanderlust: Lucerne
Bremen, GermanyWe flew in to Bremen blind. Germanwings has this blindbooking function we’ve been wanting to try forever, where you pay 33Euros one way for a flight to a mystery destination which is only revealed once you complete your payment online. In my head I was dreaming of far more romantic destinations ie. Barcelona andContinue reading #1848 | Bremen Blind.
Photos taken with the Canon 500D on 50f1.8 lens and the iPhone 5s You haven’t experienced Germany till you’ve attended one of its beer festivals. You just haven’t. Cousin to the relatively more famous Oktoberfest, the Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest is conceptually the same thing – carnival, music, beer – but with less sweaty bodies and queues.Continue reading #1847| It’s not Germany without a beer festival // Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest 2014
Photos taken with the Canon 500D on 50f1.8 lens + Nikon 1 J2 on Pancake lens c/o Nikon Singapore Zurich, SwitzerlandWe had an afternoon in Aldstadt Zurich, which honestly seemed like the more expensive European cousin of every other city I’ve visited so far.. As far as Switzerland goes, Zurich doesn’t distinguish itself very muchContinue reading #1846 | Wanderlust: Zurich
