At the end of 2019, I took a trip to celebrate the new year in the lovely city of Brussels. On New Year’s Eve, I took the Eurostar and arrived at Brussels Gare-du-Midi station mid-afternoon. I caught the metro to Madou and walked the short distance to my hotel on Rue du Nord. Hotel Sabina …
There are many things to see in Bangkok – The Grand Palace, Jim Thompson’s House, Khao San Road and much more. While these places are awesome, I sometimes looked for the not so obvious. There are many things hidden around the city, you just have to look for them! I hope you enjoy this short …
Bangkok is many things to many people, but one thing that’s constant is the streets are always full of different things going on. It’s busy, it’s chaotic, but it’s such an exciting city. There is always something to see, to find, to simply enjoy. For the 4 years I lived there, I became the city …
When I lived in Bangkok, I used to walk around the city with my camera a lot. There are many things that compel me to take a photograph. It could be a distinctive architectural feature, an ornate temple or a dilapidated building. There are endless photographic subjects to be had in Bangkok and I had …
In Chiang Rai, I took a trip to the White Temple. I wasn’t sure how to get there because I was in the middle of nowhere and I hadn’t seen any people, let alone taxis. But, I needn’t have worried because the lovely Son, the owner of the homestay, called her driver to take me …
The year was 2015 and I’d been living in Bangkok for a few months. I used to love wandering around the city taking photos and writing about what I’d done. I was doing some research to find out if there were any castles in Thailand when I came across a map, produced by the European …
On a second trip to Rotterdam in August last year, here is what I got up to with Chris – in photos. I hope you enjoyed our shenanigans 🙂
When we are eventually able to travel once more, a visit to the market near to Blaak railway station is a must! The market is usually open on Tuesdays and Saturdays and there are over 400 stalls selling fresh produce like fish, meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables. My friend Chris lives in Rotterdam and a …
One of the things you think about when you think of Amsterdam is its canals. Amsterdam’s canals have earned the city the name “Venice of the North” and the canals themselves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is so much to see in Amsterdam, but walking along the canals is a pleasure in itself. …
Back in Amsterdam again in August last year, Chris & I had a grand day out. Here’s what we did – in photos. I know we can’t go much further than our front doors at the moment, so I hope that these photo walks are a welcome change from all the doom and gloom. Stay …
There are some lovely sights in Amsterdam, not least the buildings and monuments and the eclectic mix of architectural styles. When in Amsterdam, I love to wander around the city. There’s always something new to see. Have you been to Amsterdam? What do you like to do?
On a sightseeing day around Rotterdam with my tour guide – Chris, we walked down to the river Nieuwe Maas (New Meuse) – a distributary of the Rhine River – which divides Rotterdam into north and south. The north and south are connected by several bridges and the two that caught my attention were the …
