'Am i cool enough to be interviewed?' she asked over an email ... of course she bloody well is, she a backpacker and has recently been doing her thing and taking some amazing pictures all around the Balkans on an epic roadtrip. She also hails from a town which might have the best name for [...]
Uh oh, here comes trouble. Well you've all probably spoken to Becki either on twitter or at a London blogger meet-up, she's a erm ... social butterfly haha. I jest, all round top chick and a great mate, she's none to shabby at a quiz either. Sadly for us Londoners its not long now until Becki's off [...]
It is June 2012 and by my reckoning that makes this wordpress travel blog about a year old. One yeah in which I've learnt so much ... blah blah blah. I wont bore you with my inner most thoughts about the blogging world. I poured my heart out about my travel blogging worries 6 months ago and little has changed to [...]

Day 5 Mini Summary: We left Angela's around 10 min the morning and headed straight to Galway. Our original plan had been to hit Galway via Westport on the west coast of Ireland, but my right leg is a bit of a mess after many a' footballing injury and the driving was taking its toll. [...]
The artist that is Dan of AdventureswithDan.com recently wrote an interesting article about how he's sometimes an ignorant traveller, as no doubt we all are at times. Being British, I think its generally (and wrongly) anticipated that wherever we go, someone somewhere within our chosen destination will at least have a very basic grasp of the [...]
Day 4 mini Summary: After checking out of the Malinbeg hostel we took a slight detour on our route to Sligo on a recommendation of Frank, the Malinbeg hostel owner and all round nice guy! His tip was to visit Slieve League, the highest cliffs in Europe aka Bunglass Sea cliffs. Franks tip was spot on, [...]
Giants Causeway is located on Northern Irelands north coast, between Belfast and Derry (the blue pin on the map below), the stretch of coastline is a marvel and draws hundreds of tourists a day. It was declared as Irelands first National Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. I was lucky enough to visit the causeway on [...]
