Overeating in Costa Brava

Published: 27th September 2012 by Laurence Norah - Leave a Comment

What to eat in Costa Brava

Those of you who follow me are probably aware that I don’t exactly focus on food on this blog. Sure, I did that post on my favourite burgers, and I do enjoy the act of eating food, but I’ve never really gotten round to real “food blogging”. There are a variety of reasons for this. […]

My Spanish Adventure

Published: 19th September 2012 by Laurence Norah - Leave a Comment

As previously alluded to, Vera and I are popping down to the Costa Brava region of Spain for the next ten days to take part in the TBEX travel bloggers conference, which is being held in the rather charming Catalan town of Girona. I thought I’d give you a sneak peek of the itinerary we’ve […]

If you’re new here, this concept might need some explaining. if not, feel free to scroll down for more eye candy. As it is, this is the third blog post summarising some of the facebook photos that I have shared to my facebook page over the last month or so. These are shared on a […]

1 Day in Barcelona: A Realistic 2026 Itinerary

Published: 10th September 2012 by Laurence Norah - 22 Comments

One day in Barcelona is not a lot of time, but with the right plan it is enough to see two of the city’s most unforgettable buildings, wander one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval quarters, and finish with sunset views from a hilltop castle. The trick is knowing what to prioritise and, just as importantly, what […]

Travel blogging tips from the experts: Green Global Travel

Published: 5th September 2012 by Laurence Norah - 2 Comments

In today’s travel blogging tips interview (the 27th in the series!), I’m shining a spotlight on a green corner of the travel blogging world – namely the lovely Bret and Mary, the blogging couple behind Green Global Travel. Set up nearly two years ago, these guys are on a mission to save the world, one […]

That time I nearly died in the Outback

Published: 31st August 2012 by Laurence Norah - Leave a Comment

Dear readers, it is another post by not-Loz, also known as Vera. My dad recently emailed me a link for an article published by a respected German magazine. The title was “Dangerous student trips to Australia” which instantly made my heart-rate go up: Oh god, I had been to Australia! Had I unknowingly put my […]

Frittering my life away: a classic French BBQ

Published: 23rd August 2012 by Laurence Norah - Leave a Comment

A short while back I was thrust into the local community spotlight via a microphone and a badly rendered version of Sonny & Cher’s  “I got you babe”. My partner in crime even had her photo in the local paper as a result. This was a part of our ongoing effort to integrate into our […]

Visiting Purnululu National Park in Australia (the Bungle Bungles)

Published: 18th August 2012 by Laurence Norah - Leave a Comment

The northern half of Australia was one of the highlights of my year long road trip around Oz. And a place that holds a particularly special place in my heart is the World Heritage Listed Purnululu National Park, part of the Bungle Bungle Range in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. It even made it […]

14 Things you might not know about me

Published: 15th August 2012 by Laurence Norah - 2 Comments

I thought I’d do something a little bit different today. Instead of regaling you with tales of my adventures, or sharing my photography (well, I’m going to do that anyway, all text posts are so 2010 on this blog), or sharing my tips on photography, travel, or technology (I write about a random pile of […]

In photos: from the Facebook Page (Edition ii)

Published: 9th August 2012 by Laurence Norah - Leave a Comment

Something like 1 in 7 people have a facebook account. Which sounds like a lot, but given that we’re tipping over the seven billion people on the planet mark, that means that there are still six billion of you who are missing out on the zucker-world, which also means you are missing out on all […]
