I spent three days in beautiful Hvar soaking up the sun, riding around on a boat, drinking white wine and wandering the little streets. Oh, and eating sorbet of course! After a week spent travelling through Croatia’s Dalmatia region, Hvar…
Easter Road Trip Day 2: Castles and Clay Pigeons
We left sunny Glendalough early Saturday morning, our next stop was Wells House & Gardens. Hidden in County Wexford, Wells House opened it’s doors to visitors a few years ago. I’m a big fan of stately homes, especially of the Victorian era,…
Visit in a New York Minute
This is probably the craziest travel decision I’ve made. By crazy I mean, probably a little bit much. In June, my boyfriend and I had spent two months apart. One day we thought we should take one weekend and meet…
A View of Vancouver
This weekend I wandered around downtown Vancouver, including the trendy Yaletown district. If you weren’t sure about Vancouver being one of the best cities in the world, take a look…
Walking from Wandsworth to Tower Bridge in London
I did it! I wasn’t sure if I’d get around to it before moving, but I did. I finally walked from Wandsworth Bridge to Tower Bridge along the Thames Path in London. This was something I’d always thought would be…

Stop 2: Valencia
Valencia was the second stop on Olivia & Harriet’s Spanish Adventure. It was completely different to what we’d experienced in Madrid. We took a train at the crack of dawn (ugh), happy to leave the city that had turned terrifyingly…
A Little Town Called Cannes
I was thrilled to get to Cannes and find a real beach! With sand! It’s as gorgeous as Nice, without the rocks. I spent some time sitting on the beach and dipping my feet in the water, and soaking up…
Eze Village
One of my day trips from Nice included a stop in Eze Village. I was on my way to Monaco, and the girl working at the hostel told me I couldn’t miss this place. She was so helpful.. she told…
A Visit to the South of France
Earlier in September I got my first chance to get out of the city and see a bit of Europe. It was a toss up between Northern Italy and Southern France. I finally settled on Nice. I could not believe…
The Royal London Tourist
No plans and an entire Sunday all to myself. In my excitement, I decided to pretend I didn’t live here, and join the throngs of Sunday snappers down in Westminster. If you’re looking for a nice, modern tube station, there’s…
