POV: You’re floating in turquoise water, the sun’s on your shoulders and there’s a longtail boat bobbing nearby. The air is thick with heat, the kind that forces you to slow down. By midday, you’re stretched out on a quiet beach, the sea lapping at the shore, salt clinging to your skin,

Berlin is one of those cities that really offers something for everyone. Wanna hit da clurb? Bam there they are. Chill evening drink or coffee and a read? You’ve got it. Even an outdoor cinema? Absolutely. From the iconic spots to the smaller hidden gems, I present to you, the ultimate non-techno

There’s only one place I love more than Krakow, and that’s my birth town of Zakopane (which quite literally translates to ‘buried’). Since I didn’t grow up there, I enjoy being a tourist each time I visit, whether it’s summer, winter, spring or autumn.    Check out my Google Maps save

When you think of Amsterdam, you might think red light district, café culture or fields of tulips. What you probably don’t think about is an 80-year-old pensioner and a 21- year- old gay man going on holiday there together… Hi, I’m Thomas and I took my Grandma (gma) Doris to Amsterdam for

Copenhagen is THE city break to be on right now, according to my Insta feed anyway… After a spontaneous festive long weekend in the Danish capital, though, I can confirm it’s true.   I’m always one for a bit of winter sun to escape the UK’s rubbish weather, but this year I fancied somethin

Santiago de Compostela is a small city in Galicia in the north of Spain and I spent three days there on a city break. Turns out, it’s just too good to gatekeep… You might recognise the name of the place because it’s the final destination and chequered flag of the famous Camino de Santiago pilg
