Picture the scene. A girl runs frantically down the platform, as the conductor’s whistle blows, and the doors slide shut.

The Street Art of Dublin
Somebody needs to give me a week solely to explore the street art of Dublin, seriously. The city centre alone is more or less plastered with it. Wether it’s in your face, in your way, or sneakily hidden; wether it’s a tiny sticker on a traffic sign or a massive painting covering a whole wall; […]

When we were in Thailand, we definitely noticed that there are street dogs everywhere! You’ll find them on the streets, around the temples, on the beaches – pretty much everywhere you go you’ll come across street dogs. They are an accepted part of life over there, and we never witnessed anyone shouting at them or […]
In photos: Some explosively pretty clouds
It’s coming up on the end of the week, and it seems that the glorious summery weather that Europe has been throwing at us for the last three months or so is coming to an end. Whilst the sun worshippers might be upset, I’m not too bothered. Sure, the dropping temperatures are a bit of […]
Four spectacular road trips you need to do
Road trips! What’s not to love? The stereo blaring, scenery rolling by mile after mile, the freedom to just pull over and gawp at whatever takes your fancy. As you can probably tell, I do enjoy a good road trip, and today I’m going to share four of my absolute favourites from my travels that, […]
