So, you’re wondering where to eat in Lagos Portugal? There is no shortage of good restaurants in Lagos, that’s true, but sometimes it is hard to sort the good from the bad and the excellent! As you probably know by now, I adore taking food tours as they are so much more than just a […]
An afternoon tea is a quintessential London treat, but why have any old afternoon tea in London when you can have a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory afternoon tea? This wonderful experience at One Aldwych was voted the best afternoon tea in London by Bookatable in 2017, and it isn’t hard to see why. I […]
Inis Mór, or Inishmore, is the largest of the Aran Islands, a group of Islands off the Galway Coast in Ireland. Famous for their woolly Aran sweaters, I hadn’t realised just how beautiful Inishmore Island would be. I visited Inishmore on a day trip from Galway as part of my Shamrocker Adventures 5-day tour around […]

I am spending the next year or so exploring more of Europe, and hope to be visiting Romania some time next year. I am fascinated by this country I know so little about – and until I can get there and see it for myself, I asked Marius from Romanian Friend to share his reasons […]
Dublin is a wonderful city, and unsurprisingly very popular with visitors from all over the world. However, Dublin can also be very expensive, especially during the summer holidays and at weekends. Finding a cheap hostel in Dublin isn’t easy, and finding a good cheap hostel if you’re backpacking in Dublin is even harder! I was […]
I lived in Leeds for 10 years. I love this city in England, I came here to study at the University of Leeds, and stayed around for several years after that. However, I am ashamed to admit that in all that time I didn’t appreciate everything I had on my doorstep. True, Leeds has changed […]
The Northern Irish Coastline is incredibly beautiful. There aren’t quite enough superlatives to describe the variety and drama of the cliffs, beaches, castle ruins and UNESCO World Heritage sites. The whole of the Causeway Coastal Route is fascinating, and if you have a few days to spend in Northern Ireland then you should take the […]
