Learning about the history of a place is what really tickles my travelling taste buds. So when Justin from 48houradventure.com invited me along to one of the events setup to mark the 70th Anniversary of the London Blitz I jumped at the chance. At the now closed Aldwych Tube Station the London Transport Museum re-created what it was like for people during the blitz. With actors setup in the old ...

Many of you have followed my blog as I detailed my first ever solo backpacking journey around Europe. I won’t lie it’s been a long drawn out affair, but an important one all the same (especially for me). This blog was to by my journal first and everything else second. There was no delusions of grandeur when I started out. I didn’t want to make money. I just wanted to ...

Heaven Or Just Realising The Dream

The final two days at my stay in the oh so posh hostel along the coastline of Italy were some of my finest. At night I was one of the regulars, meeting new arrivals as they found the hostel bar all while having a good old banter with the manager and staff as we partied away into the wee hours of the morning together. During the day I ventured to ...
