What to Expect at a Polish Wedding
Whether you’re thinking about tying the knot abroad and immersing yourself in a different culture, or you’ve been invited to a wedding by some Polish friends, there are a few things you can expect at a Polish wedding! First of all, I’ll give you some background into our own experience. In August 2020 we were…

Sandomierz

by
In Summer 2020, we flew out to Poland for a friend’s wedding which was taking place in his home town of Sandomierz. It was quite a last minute holiday for us as, although we had known about the wedding for a while, we assumed it would be cancelled due to COVID. We only found out…

Krakow

We travelled to Krakow from Sandomierz by bus which cost us 40zl each (approx £8) and took around 3 hours. The transport in Krakow itself is the same as most European cities. It has a direct train service, a bus station, airport and the all-important Uber. There are also some other fun ways of getting…

In August 2020, we went over to Poland for a friend’s wedding. Initially, we weren’t sure if it was going ahead still as COVID had put a halt to most UK weddings, however Poland had much fewer cases and the wedding carried on. (You can find out exactly what to expect at a Polish wedding…

On our way back from Australia, we stopped over in Singapore. We were meant to have a couple of days to explore the city but due to flight changes (we travelled just as Coronavirus was hitting the globe) we were limited to around 20 hours. When we arrived into the airport, there were airport scanners…

Rescue a wild animal
We have a pussy cat, Mia, who at the best of times is the sweetest thing alive. Sadly though, she does still have her natural animalistic tendencies and has been known to bring in the odd mouse or two. The (early) morning of VE Day 2020, she decided to bring us an unusual and unwanted…

Do the Old Trafford Stadium Tour
I am a HUGE Manchester United fan (and so is Alex now), and so the Old Trafford Stadium Tour was always a part of my bucket list; I’ve been here a few times to see matches, but never to look around! Alex’s sister lives in Manchester, and we went to visit her and her boyfriend…

Cairns

Our third and final stop in Australia was Cairns, to spend a week relaxing in paradise (and of course swim at the Great Barrier Reef). By this point in the trip, we were really starting to get that ‘we are nearly at the end of our holiday’ feeling and began subconsciously counting down the days…

What to Pack for a Winter Weekend in Tallinn
If, like me, you’re usually a pretty heavy packer then packing carry on luggage for a long weekend can be a struggle. My brain tells me things like ‘what if you want to wear that top you haven’t worn in 4 years’ and ‘ooh you’d better pack triple the amount of underwear – just in…

Sydney

Because of the troubles in the world with Coronavirus, our trip to the city got cut a little short, so here’s how to spend 3 days in Sydney! We flew over from Adelaide where Scott’s cousin got married, and landed late at night, where we went straight to our AirBnB and went to sleep. Unfortunately,…
