Berlin is a hell of city. I’ve had the privilege of visiting a number of times, and each time it has delighted and educated me in equal parts. Part of this is due to the amount of recent history, from the horrors of the second world war, through to the collapse of the wall. It’s […]

The Temple on a Volcano: Phanom Rung, Thailand
When you visit Thailand, you are going to be very excited to see some Thai temples. And you should be excited, because they are pretty damn impressive. From the Wats of Bangkok to the crumbling ruins of Sukhothai, there is enough temple in Thailand to sate even the hungriest of temple addicts. It might surprise […]
A warm welcome in Copenhagen at the Absalon Hotel
I like warm weather. This fact should be apparent by the destinations I’ve covered in the blog, and the way that they rarely seem to include snow, or ice. Other than that trip around New Zealand, where poor timing meant we occasionally saw some actual snow. So when I booked my trip around a number […]
What to do in Stockholm
Five minutes after our arrival in Stockholm Centraal, the main station, I realized that anyone who has ever asked me if I was from Sweden (instead of Germany), has really given me a huge compliment by likening me to these Nordic goddesses. Wow. There is an unusual amount of really tall, really slender, really blonde […]

What the Segway? A tour through Copenhagen.
Every now and again, Loz fails completely. Like when we went to Copenhagen. He looks at me, very excited, beaming: “I booked us on a city tour through Copenhagen – a Segway tour!!” I smile politely back: “That’s great. What’s a Segway?” “A Segway! Oh, you know them – they are these big electric scooters […]

Not getting scammed in Thailand
Before I came out to Thailand I did a bunch of research into the country, both online and offline. Mostly about places to go and things to see, but also about the various dangers and annoyances to keep an eye out for. Which, I was pleased to discover, were rather few and far between. Thailand […]
Lub d Siam Square: Hostel review
You know what’s nice? Sandwiches. Sandwiches are nice. Well, apart from the ones that are sold at or near train stations in the UK, which are enough to make the Earl who invented this remarkable treat terribly sad. Were he still around to be terribly sad that is, which he isn’t. The thing about sandwiches […]
