(Continued from this post) I woke up at dawn, to the most glorious sunrise. It was peaceful and beautiful, yesterday’s rough sea calmed to an almost glassy lake. My muscles still ached, but there is something energising about waking up surrounded by nature. Once it was fully light and everyone had crawled out of their … More Greece: Kayaking adventures in Lesvos (part 2)
Early in July this year, I decided to go on my friend Erica’s kayaking trip. Erica is one of my coursemates on the Masters in Applied Positive Psychology down at UEL, which I’ve been attending part-time for the last few years – learning about things like happiness, trust, meaning, spirituality, and hope. Erica and I … More Greece: Kayaking on Lesvos (Part 1)
I’ve had a lot of people ask me this, so I thought it was about time I just wrote a blog post that I could easily link them to. For those of you who don’t know, my husband is from the USA. He lives with me in the UK where he is able to work, … More Getting your non-EU spouse into the UK
Stratford-upon-Avon – land of Shakespeare, heart of the Cotswolds, my current town of residence. “Budget” isn’t usually a word you’d come across when researching it; Warwickshire seems to be one of the most expensive places to live, and the restaurant and hotel prices aren’t exactly a backpacker’s dream. Still, after living here for the last … More UK: Stratford-upon-Avon on a Budget
I won’t lie to you – this is not the best blog for finding out about historical monuments, art galleries, museums or other things you’ll find on your must-see itinerary. When I travel, I like to wander around, go on public transport, eat where the locals eat (if I can find this) and generally just … More Portugal: Three Days Wandering Around Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra
When you first arrive in the Czech Republic, it can seem as though the only non-meat options available to you are cheese, pickled cheese, and fried cheese. If you’re vegan, then the choices are even more limited – bread, potatoes and cabbage, with perhaps some rice every now and then. While traditional Czech cuisine does … More Vegetarian and Vegan Prague
Now, as you may know, I am rather fond of beer these days. While Prague is full of amazing places to drink and discover the stuff, sometimes it’s nice to go further afield in the quest for a nice pink (well, half litre). It was over a year ago when we first discovered Tábor’s annual … More Tábor Beer Festival
There really isn’t that much to say – one day, we decided to go to Dresden. This part of Germany is surprisingly close to Prague – a 2.5 hour train ride – so we decided to make a day trip and see what Dresden was all about.To give you a little history, Dresden was … More Germany: A Dreary Day in Dresden
They say a picture speaks 1000 words. So, here are a whole ton of words for you, in photo form. Sometimes it’s hard to really explain what it’s like living in Prague from day to day, so I’m hoping that these pictures will shed light on the whole experience a little more…
In my time here, I’ve seen a lot, done a lot, learned a lot. It’s not often that I put these things into words, exactly, but I’m going to try. So, here are things I’ve learned from Prague, about Prague and the Czech Republic in general. Hopefully they will give you a window into Czech … More 33 Things I’ve Learnt From Prague
