Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
For many people, when you think of Australia you think of beaches. Bondi is probably the most well known one, but the truth is the whole country has some amazing beaches from the smallest of little bays, to some huge ones which stretch for a long way. Due to the dry inhospitable nature of Australia’s […]
Four days in the Outback
So despite the fact the Outback is a place of pretty much nothing, there are a few tourist destinations out there. I’m not talking museums, theme parks, or amazing pieces or architecture (a la the Sydney Opera House). Instead they’re entirely natural features, and the three I went to see were Uluru (also known as […]
The Carnival craziness
The last weekend has been a festive one in Maastricht: Carnival took over the city. Costumes of all shapes, sizes and colours were put on and happy smiles invaded the city centre. The Carnival is a three days celebration, which takes place every year, six weeks before the Easter Sunday. Traditionally, […]
Home, sweet home!
After a long time of wandering around the world, I have finally managed to get home for the holidays. And one thing is for sure, I have used this opportunity to make it up for all the time spent away! My lovely Romania received me back, with arms wide open, on […]
One of the many perks of a year abroad
I guess it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise what with me being a Geography student and all, but I really enjoy travelling, and that’s one of the things that really drew me to doing a year abroad. And that’s also one of the reasons why I chose Australia: it’s a country I’d […]
Freetown, Part 2 – Sun, Beaches and Food
Although there are a lot of things that need to be improved in my home town, there is so much more that I love and would not change about Freetown. For one, the weather. I love the Freetown sun, during my two weeks there, the lowest temperature it was 26 degrees Celsius and the highest […]
Freetown – Part 1, Too Much Freedom
I spent my two weeks Christmas holiday with my family in Freetown, Sierra Leone. I was born in Sierra Leone but I have not visited my home country since 2011 so I was looking forward to going back. Freetown is the freest place that I have ever been to. It is one of the most […]
Weekend in Hamburg Part 1 (Kultur)
Regrettably I haven’t done very much travelling during my time abroad so far, largely thanks to the endless number of distractions available here which have kept me firmly within the so-called Berlin Bubble. However I made some steps towards rectifying this sorry situation last weekend by meeting my sister (currently on her own year abroad […]
First steps…
Velbekomme! (Welcome)…. So the journey begins… Let me take this opportunity to firstly introduce myself. At this moment in time, I’m forced to come to the realisation that in just over 2 months time I shall be living my life as a third year Criminology student. Even though I’d like to believe that I’m quite […]
Hello Holland!
I spent the first week of June trying to get two presentations together, so that I’d be free to go to visit my friend the 6th-8th June. She’s studying in Utrecht and I was so excited to go and visit. I managed to get my work done, so off I went on my merry way. […]
