What do you get if you cross an artist inspired by Japanese art and street graffiti with broken, forgotten and disused surfboards? The answer: completely beautiful works of art. Kiwi-born, Tess Sheerin, rolled over to England in 2008 to pursue a successful explosive art career that has impacted the surf art-scene hugely through her fantasy- inspired work that depicted on recycled surfboards.
The artistic and surf-influenced town of St Ives in …
Halloween might have been months ago now but that doesn’t mean that we’ve had our spook fill for the year. What is it about an amusement park, that when abandoned, becomes a spooky place where only an eerie silence descends and the dammed roam at night?
When driving through Louisana this fall en route from New Orleans to the swamp (more on that to come) I saw huge signs on the …
OK, so we can all have the basic and boring New Year resolutions of “lose weight”, “hit the gym”, “smoke/drink less”, “hug grandma more” etc etc, but with 2012 being the year that the world supposedly ends… surely we have to live life to the fullest?? Make the most of every month of our lives and embrace it like it’s our last??
Do you want to know what is Number 1 …
Don’t get me wrong… I like London, I really do. I just think that sometimes, it gets hyped a bit too much.
There, I said it. There are so many other cities in England that pass underneath the radar of young travelers, just because all we tend to hear is how amazing our friends’ weekend getaway to the British capital was.
Manchester is one of the cities that can definitely live up …
What better way is there to commemorate a life-altering travel experience than to literally ink a souvenir of it onto your body? It’s way cooler than a shell necklace. It will last longer than a bottle of rum. And your friends will want to see it more than those 200 digital photos of you drunk and sunburned.
If you haven’t already noticed, let me start off by saying …
Grand Central Terminal is usually high on peoples New York bucket list yet what if I was to tell you that this famous landmark has secrets that you don’t know waiting to be discovered?
Located on the Grand Central Terminal dining concourse outside the famous Oyster Bar, the Whispering Gallery is an acoustic and architectural oddity that has to be played with.
The low ceramic arches are built in such a perfect …
It’s an ancient race, the ongoing competition between Paris and New York. Which is the better city? Which is more beautiful, cultural, popular? Anyone who has been to both will agree that the French capitol and the Big Apple are as opposite as they come. While in Paris one sits relaxed in cute cafés sipping on tiny cups of espresso, referred to as coffee, New Yorkers rush from one appointment …
Perth was nothing like what I expected. Located in Western Australia (WA) and being the most isolated city in the world, I expected it to be a very small condensed place with all the excitement residing in the city centre. In fact, the fun lies across the entire expanse of Perth throughout many suburbs which if not explored; means you haven’t fully seen Perth and everything it has to offer. …
We all form images in our heads about how a place is going to look; influenced by friends, family, the press, and sometimes an overactive imagination. If someone says Afghanistan, what are the first images that come to mind? For me, the images are those predominantly brought to you in times of terror and disaster featuring foreign forces, explosions and often worse.
A new short film, Afghanistan – touch down in …
We had never really seen much of Austria, apart from sporadic weekend trips to Vienna and so we were quite happy when earlier this year we got the chance to spend some time to Innsbruck, Austria earlier this year to attend the Travel Bloggers United (TBU) conference. We knew the trip would be all the better when we were invited by Innsbruck’s nicest hotel The Penz to stay there throughout …
