What to Do in Poznan in Summer
Cities change throughout the seasons; that’s nothing new. And although travel guides always debate the “best time to visit”, in the end they often admit that each season has its own benefits, its celebrations, its food, its fashions. We fell in love with Poznan during our first visit last November, but we weren’t prepared to […]
Montanita: Ecuador’s beach party town
“Where you from, friend?” An earnest looking chap called to me from his stall, one of countless lining the road between the beach and the town centre. It was filled with trinkets, but cunningly had an incredibly cute cat asleep in the midst of the trinkets. “England”, I replied, tickling the cats ears. “Vera’s from […]
Seven Summer Festivals in Poznan
In Europe, summer time is of course also festival time. There is – pardon my French – a crap load of festivals, and people will travel a long way to attend them. Some of these festivals have become a cult thing to go to, some have disappeared again despite having been popular, some are tiny […]

1 Day in Athens: An Itinerary
Athens! When I landed, I have to admit to feeling a frisson of excitement. It was my first visit to the city which essentially sparked the beginning of the western world as we know it, and I couldn’t wait to get my eyes on some of the sights that I already felt I knew so […]
10 Things I didn’t know about the Galapagos
“Oh, you’re going to the Galapagos!”, a friend of mine emailed me. “Reminds me of all the stuff I had to learn in biology, you know, about Darwin and so on, but hey: that is so exciting!” “Loz,”, I asked my better half, “what has Darwin got to do with the Galapagos?” A glance of […]
Wanders through Bologna
Towards the end of 2013 I had the good luck to spend a couple of days in Bologna, on my way between Dublin and Rimini – a small Italian beach side town that was hosting a travel conference. I’d never been to Bologna, and whilst a couple of days wasn’t exactly a huge amount of […]
