My original plan was to travel to Turkey with Topdeck in August, but due to terrorist attacks in early July, all trips through Istanbul and Ankara were cancelled. I can't lie, I was really upset, as I was looking forward to this trip so much. Topdeck were kind enough to offer us a few other … Continue reading Exploring the Balkans

My favourite things to do in Madrid
I recently celebrated my one year anniversary of living in Madrid with a picnic in in Retiro Park with my group of girls, which prompted me to write about my favourite things to do in Madrid.

London was probably my favourite place, because there's so much to see and do. I loved seeing Big Ben, The London Eye and Oxford Street. It's definitely a place where … Continue reading My Top 5 Moments
My Hostel Experiences
During my trip I stayed at four different hostels, and this was my first time staying in a hostel. I pre-booked them all on Hostel World and chose them by looking at their ratings. The first place I stayed was Clink78 in London. I got a massive shock when I walked into the room to … Continue reading My Hostel Experiences
