Even after nearly a year of crossing the road with traffic on the 'other side of the road', I still have no idea of my current Green Cross Code and end up crossing roads frantically looking left and right confused. Rightly so, some drivers are crazy unpredictable. Surprisingly the internet has varying numbers of who… Continue reading POP QUIZ – Can you guess how many territories and countries that drive on the right side of the road… that’s on the LEFT if you’re unsure

Let’s be serious… the important question is: Why do the continental Europeans not have more crisp flavours?
I have missed the British variety of crisps. Chips to some of you speaking your own version of English. Ultimately I am a huge - literally - fan of potent flavoured crisps. I have missed them a lot more than I should have. I binged during my 2-week hiatus in the UK during December 2017.… Continue reading Let’s be serious… the important question is: Why do the continental Europeans not have more crisp flavours?

One of the best-known superstitions of the western world is today! The idea that Friday the 13th is the unluckiest of days. Do you believe in superstition?
The tale of travel and the ever expanding waistline
How many of you have put on weight whilst on holiday? Imagine 10 months of holiday temptation and a girl with very little willpower.

Graffiti – art, statement or defiance?
I surprised myself. I was actually angry about it. I knew it is the result of a culmination of factors but this gawd damn graffiti pissed me right off. Is it right to deface your public environment? Is it defacing? It certainly didn't feel hip or edgy to me and I am clearly both of… Continue reading Graffiti – art, statement or defiance?
Day 1 of month 11, can you believe it, no April fools’ joke. I lost blog focus but I am back and we need to talk
I decided in my little cubicle bed, like any product or service, I needed to 're-clarify my brand'. I've got lots to say and I want to talk with you! I combat my travel procrastination, my revitalised blog starts today. It's healthy to have an opinion. We can do fun, educated and eloquent, can't we?
