Throughout 2018, my plan had always been to get myself doing an Interrail pass, good and proper. This was fuelled by a couple of sporadic trips onto the continent, particularly in January of that year when I’d found myself bumbling around the Netherlands and Belgium followed by the Berlin-Brandenburg region of Germany a week later.Continue reading “Europe, Round One (Part One)”

I’m always asked what my favourite country, city or general place to be is. Of course, this is all a matter of opinion, but in a time when we’re suddenly re-entering a covid-y period, it’s a good time to reflect on when we could piss off to wherever we felt like without quarantining or contemplatingContinue reading “What’s your best/worst…? (Europe Edition)”

It seems like a bit of a ridiculous notion to be holidaying in such unprecedented times. After all, we’re being told to “stay alert” as infection rates continue to spike in some regions. Indeed, travelling abroad at the moment has its caveats. That said, it’s by no means stupid or impossible. Certainly, we shouldn’t beContinue reading “Holidaying during a Global Pandemic.”

Whether or not COVID-19 has gone away or not (because it really hasn’t) there is now becoming an ever-ensuing push to get things moving again. While most probably won’t be dabbling in travel abroad until next year now, there will be those who are screaming to get out of the house, get exploring and tryContinue reading “So, you want to do an Interrail…”

It seems appropriate once again to reminisce about being on the other side of the world when right now, you can’t do much more than go to the other side of your bedroom. So, I thought it appropriate to provide a wee run-down of a few personal experiences and maybe bust a few myths aboutContinue reading “In for the long haul”

This is a strange time to be writing anything on a blog dedicated to fucking about and travelling a few thousand miles, but then again, it’s just a strange time in general. Like everyone else in the UK, France, Italy and beyond, I’m currently “locked down”, and that certainly means no cheeky trips to Gdansk,Continue reading “Cabin Fever”

Not being one for doing things the easy, or sane way, I’m a sucker for using the railways to cover massive distances in Europe. This January, I embarked upon a 15 day flexi Interrail pass, and while I was usually keen not to cover too much distance in a day, following lessons from previous tripsContinue reading “Prague to Lugano in 36 hours”

Sometimes I do give off the impression that I’m some travel genius that has everything worked out for himself. Sure, I’m quite competent and am able to go off on my own a lot, but I’m not a demi-god and, well, shit happens. So here’s a few of the most entertaining ones in my time.Continue reading “It’s all going a little bit WRONG!”

I discuss my own first trips as I gained my confidence in travelling alone.
