I’ve taken lots of shots from the top’s of buildings or churches since getting to Europe so its only fitting I share them with you all. This is a photo I took from the Sky Line Bar at the Reval Hotel in Riga, Latvia. The bar while being expensive to buy drinks at does offer an amazing 360 degree view of the city and well worth the stop for just […]

Meeting a Friend in Copenhagen
Sleeping well in a 14 bed dorm where all the beds squeak and not a single bed is spare could have been my biggest challenge yet. I’ve hiked over mountains back home sleeping on nothing but rocks with my sleeping bag for comfort but that was nothing. People snoring, people coming in drunk, people getting up early and playing with their plastic bags etc. There is a reason the room […]

I urge everybody to head down to Sorrento in Italy and jump the bus towards Amalfi. Along the 1-2 hour drive just soak up the 30 or so kilometers of amazing coast line. […]
Discovering Berlin on Foot

Berlin however had the biggest turnout I have seen for these tours to date. Split into approx. 6 groups of 20 […]
The Alternative Walking Tour of Berlin
Just like Amsterdam it was cold and wet when I packed up to leave the hostel I was in and head across to the same one as D. The problem was only compounded after I got lost yet again trying to find the place. I really think I should have invested in a local sim card for my phone so I can use the built in GPS on my iPhone […]
