Fashion – Lifestyle – Travel
First of all a little disclaimer - I am not writing this in an attempt to promote travel during these times, just simply as a resource for anyone that does need to fly elsewhere and is curious to know what the situation is like. From my POV, I was travelling to Kigali, Rwanda from Dublin [...]
Waking up to the sound of the harsh winds of the typhoon rattling the window, our time in Shanghai had come to an end and we were ready to venture deeper into the outskirts of the region and experience a slice of ‘real China’. After a quick scramble to gather all our things and a [...]
Alive with the constant hum of a million mopeds and illuminated by the sparkling lights of the skyscrapers lining the water's edge, Shanghai is a force to be reckoned with. A city that never sleeps, the Chinese global financial hub had me captivated from the moment I stepped out of the taxi. Undoubtedly modern yet [...]
Peering out the little porthole window all I can see are bushes, trees and brown earth hurtling past as the crew take their seats in preparation of hitting the tarmac. With no such surface in sight, the worry begins to rise as I can feel the speed increase, the wings wobble and the wheels straining [...]
For the final leg of our journey, we packed up our suitcases and our Vegas hangovers and headed to the airport. For the last destination we were done with buses as we were headed east-side and although we prided ourselves on being troopers, busing it from coast to coast was a bit too ambitious. Two [...]
Before our trip, I must admit Vegas wasn't somewhere I'd ever had a burning desire to visit. It looked cool and all but I didn't get the hype and never really planned to investigate what it was all about. However after having spent three days strolling the length of the strip, those feelings have changed [...]
San Diego was a spontaneous move for us. We'd planned as far as L.A., Vegas and Virginia but struggled to know what to place in the middle. We'd hit week two of travelling and the long hours on buses and constant racing around new cities was slowly taking it out of us. San Diego seemed [...]
Two out of four days down in the city of angels and we still hadn't gotten over the excitement of walking the same streets of the rich and famous. Day three was a pretty chill one as the manic nature of travelling had begun catching up on us. Used to packing up after two days, [...]
Our stay in Los Angeles started off in a way I will never forget. This had been the destination we had been most looking forward to. Benj being a musician and myself a journalist, we couldn't wait to visit the glitz and glam of showbiz central and right from the get-go we were confronted with [...]
Next stop on our American adventure was the weird and wonderful Portland. Following on from our stay in Seattle, we were a little bit more acclimatised to the different culture in America so were more able to relax as we toured the city. Nestled in the forests of Oregon, Portland is kind of an undiscovered [...]
