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[...]

The Travelettes guide to St Petersburg

•••
Before I visited St Petersburg, all I knew about it was what I had seen in the animated film Anastasia. I'm not sure what that says about me but I grew up singing "Journey to the Past", feeling terrified of Rasputin's character and in complete awe of how aristocratic the city looked. In the summer of 2019 when I visited it for the first time, I got to explor[...]

How to spend 24 hours in London

•••
The first time I visited London was on a stop-over from Australia to Rome and I had a measly 24 hours to explore the city.

It was also in Boston that Alexander Bell invented the first ever telephone. Because of this, the city is steeped in history and has a rich heritage which surpasses that of many o[...]

Monstrous 1930s’ concrete towers overshadow delicate French Baroque, and 21st century modernity sits somewhere awkwardly between it all. For me, the streets of Bucharest are like a feast for the eyes and a rather perplexing stimulus for the [...]

•••
Saint Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe; just a few hours by plane from many European cities, but underrated and still unknown to many. Russia’s beautiful northern city is home to magnificent palaces, golden rooftops, and an impressive history, but above all, a lively scene of young and thriving creative people. I loved St. Peters[...]

Luxembourg: The Loveliest Little European Country

•••
After living amongst the chaos of London for the last four years, I have increasingly sought out relaxing, calm and quiet holiday destinations to counteract my hectic lifestyle. One day on my morning commute, I read an article about Luxembourg which described the little country as a peaceful haven situated right in the middle of Europe with a population of j[...]
