I woke up really early on Thursday morning and in my tradition, I always spend the last day by briskly walking through the streets of London before breakfast and heading to Heathrow. It's lovely seeing London wake up, nothing but the honks of the buses and early morning employees just about headed …

Well, the last day in London came to quickly! But still I was determined to enjoy every minute of it! So first we walked a little through Hyde Park and than we went to the Tower, tower bridge and HMS Belfast to shoot some pictures of it. We saw those attractions before on trips to London…

Mind the gap. London – one big melting pot. Millions of people. Tourists and newcomers. Everyone is welcome!     One March Sunday I was strolling around London. Equipped with my off-peak traveler card and the underground map I knew there were no limits :). North and South, East and W…

So last year saw things really start for me after my previous band ended. I was touring the 'Walking with Angels' EP at the time and it had got off to a pretty good start - 4 TV appearances in my first 5 gigs and managed to get some festivals over the summer - Creation Fest, Illumination Fest, Roc…

Round about the two month mark in any trip, people start asking me if I'm homesick yet.  I'm not.  But there are certain kinds of food that I start to miss.  And when I tell people this, they fall off their chairs laughing.  British food?  You miss British food?  You'r…

I officially moved out of my flat in London yesterday so last night Hannah and I spent the night at Ruby's house. We left around 3pm to head to Victoria station to catch the train to Gatwick where we will meet Ben. I was supposed to go in earlier then the girls and put my bags in storage as a frien…

I cant believe I have just signed up for this!!!  This is an amazing race/touring event that runs from Budapest through Austria, Germany, Italy, France and Spain. Then across the med into Morocco, Western Sahara Region, Mauritania and finally to Bamako, the capital of Mali.  This was se…

This is the account of my birthday trip to Dublin and Belfast with two other TravBuddies (lovely_lori88 and globetrottingmike) both whom I met for the first time at the London TravBuddy meetup in Feb of 08 and instantly liked! Lori and Mike expressed interest in seeing Ireland with me for a few day…

Although this entry says London we didn't get to London until around 9:30pm but I decided that I should put the location as where I spent that night. We had to check out of St. Christophers at 10 but our train didn't leave till 4 so we had some time to kill. Melissa and I became very good at killin…

From London Brigde to the Shenley village are only 12 stations and  the First Capital Connect, fast and simple train is very comfortable way to travel. But I didn't want to spent all my time in London, there are many views to discover and many paths to try around Shenley, Elstree & Boreham…

Me and my dad, we both love traveling a lot. Since I moved on my own few years ago we started to do little 4-5 days city trips together once in a year. Edinburgh has been on our dream destination list for a while already and when Ryanair introduced a direct flight from Bratislava, it was just a question of time when we would go to discover the Scottish capital.

LANDA green belt of sacred land surrounds this town making it one of the few remaining towns in England that is unable to expand outwards. Evidence has been uncovered showing how this cradling belt of exuberant enrichment has been continuously populated for well over five thousand years and is now …

Well I am now down to 5 days left....... The time is going so quickly now, been wishing the time away since August and now the time is just flying past!! The nerves are setting in now. I am on my last day at work today (hence internet access abuse!) and don't intend on doing much in the way of wo…

Well I am today anyway. I've just finnished arranging the last part of my trip to Asia. I was most worried abou this part just because of the extreme culture difference, which everyone, books and websites say you need to be weary off.  I've sorted out my first few days in Thailand, and ha…

This was a very early start! Mark and I were up around 0600 to finish packing, have breakfast and take the kitties to the cattery for their holidays before we headed to Loch Lomond to meet Mum and Dad and apparently surprise Dad...as far as he was aware, we were going on holiday today to Thail…
