Innsbruck – a town with so much to offer, yet in which I did so little. After my time in Switzerland I was headed towards Eastern Europe, so Innsbruck was a stop on the way over. The city had a vibrant and modern atmosphere, full of students and young people. There were a lot of … More I did my laundry – in Innsbruck 🧺🇦🇹
To continue with my travels across Switzerland I took the train from Lauterbrunnen to Zermatt. Zermatt is the gateway town to the Matterhorn, sitting right below the magnificent peak. I didn’t realise that things could get even more expensive than they had been in Lauterbrunnen, but somehow they did. Zermatt is a stunning, idyllic, ski … More Guess what I did in Zermatt?!
*WARNING – this is my longest blog post ever, apologies in advance!* All I can say is that for many reasons, Switzerland felt like an alternate reality. There’s simply no other way I can describe it. Not only was it THAT beautiful, but it was also THAT expensive, it didn’t even feel real. If I … More Hiking in Switzerland! 🏔️🇨🇭
I’m catching up on these blog posts while I wait for my laundry – laundry day is well and truly over due at this point. Salzburg was unexpectedly a really great time. While I had already been planning on travelling to Salzburg following Oktoberfest, I ended up travelling there with a couple of the people … More Salzburg 🏰🎵🇦🇹
OKTOBERFEST! Now this was something I only booked a couple of weeks prior with friends I had met travelling back in London – almost 2 months ago at the start of my trip. Accomodation prices were through the roof, and I had to get from Milan to Munich, but thats all part of the fun … More Oktoberfest 🍻🍻🍻
Milan really was just another stop for me. In my mind it was a grey, dull city with little to offer. While I wasn’t exactly wrong, I was more impressed than I expected. Milan is well known for its shopping and art culture – both things I’m not hugely interested in. That being said, I … More Milan (and day trips!) 🚆🇮🇹
The Italian Alps! WOW! I could go on forever about these mountains, and I only saw the smallest section of them. Not only was this area the absolute highlight of my trip (so far) but I was also fortunate enough to spend my 22nd birthday here with friends. Even though we didn’t have the best … More Potentially my Favourite Place Ever – The Dolomites 🏔️🚠
My expectations for Venice were low. I had heard a lot about how overrated it was, and that it’s very dirty. My interest in Venice only came from the idea that it was sinking – I wanted to experience it before it went underwater. But in a turn of events, I thoroughly enjoyed Venice! It … More Venice – the city of canals 🛶💐
Rome! What an incredible city. I have spoken to many people who either loved or hated it, and I certainly fall in the former category. I thought the city was so vibrant and exciting, not only did it have a lot of history, but it was also full of great food, music and culture. Walking … More Turning Back The Time: a trip to Rome 🏛️🇮🇹
Florence!! A stunning city with lots going for it, but it just wasn’t really my vibe. As a disclaimer, I will say that I was sick the entire time I was here, so perhaps that skewed my perception. But because of my lack of enthusiasm for the city, expect a shorter post than normal. On … More Florence 🍷🧑🎨🇮🇹
