Catalonia beyond Barcelona: where gastronomy meets art

•••
Before visiting the South of Catalonia, my knowledge of this Spanish region was limited to Barcelona. I never knew a that the popular Spanish breakfast pan con tomate (bread with tomato) originated from here, or that it's a land rich in carob trees but most importantly that it is a place four world-class artists have in common: architect Antoni Gaudí, paint[...]

Why This Carpark is Sydney's Best Kept Secret

•••
Driving through Alexandria, there's little to keep your eyes off the road. A blur of brick and mortar speeds by, just another suburb in the city on the sea. However, if you do happen to cast your eyes to your surroundings, you may notice a steady flow of people hanging around one of the central parking lots. There's little to assume from looking at the[...]

WTF is Champing?

•••
A little known term that you may very well have never heard uttered previously - the name "champing" is a cute abbreviation of "church camping". And church camping is, well, camping in churches - perhaps unsurprisingly. But I don't mean flinging up a 2 man pop up in the cemetery - champing means actually camping inside the church buildings themselves. To be [...]

Girls Just wanna Have Sun: Cancel Winter in Gran Canaria

•••
The Canary Islands are well known as one of the best winter sun options in Europe being that they fall on the same line of latitude as Southern Morocco, hovering around the Tropic of Cancer, which is exceptionally temperate year-round. But believe it or not, I (a Brit) had never ventured to the Canaries before - not even to escape the icky British winter[...]

Viseating Bologna: A culinary guide

•••
Those that love food will know that a must destination is Italy. Those that love Italy will know that food plays a significant role in the country's identity. Those that love travelling will visit Italy for its beautiful vineyards, picturesque towns but above all for a taste of its cuisine. I am someone that adores all of the above and I'm pretty sure yo[...]

All Aboard The Garden Route Express

•••
I’ve heard so many people note Cape Town as their favourite city over the years. I must admit it’s not somewhere that had really been on my radar until it started attracting attention as a “digital nomad’ hotspot a few years back - and as such many Europeans and Americans arrived to brave out the northern hemisphere winter in the superior warmth [...]

Could This Be The Best View in Melbourne?

•••
Like a gaudy bejewelled crown glittering against the velvet night and shining like freshly polished silverware by day, the Melbourne Star is an iconic treasure within Melbourne's city skyline. Yes, observation wheels like this can now be found all over the world, but Melbourne's is quite unique. Perhaps not by design, but most definitely by character.[...]

An Ode to the Humble Window Seat

•••
Whether peppered with raindrops or sparkling through sun rays, the window seat remains unbiased. That is to say, there is no right experience to have from a window seat, and more so that once you take the seat, the seat takes you of sorts. Through dark tunnels and villages that whizz past with just a flash of blotched vibrance; and rooftops that curve[...]
