Istanbul
Our Istanbul trip was a reunion with one of my partner’s friends who currently lives in Serbia, and what a whirlwind it turned out to be! We landed at 4am, groggy but excited, and managed to sleep off the flight before heading out for a much-needed coffee and our first taste of Turkish lunch. One…

Two Days in Rome
Despite having gone to Rome four months ago now, I still can’t believe I’ve been. It has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember, and my passion and excitement to visit only increased as my love for ancient history and architecture grew. As I am interested in photography, I finally…

A Weekend in Bath & the Cotswolds
We spent a few days exploring Bath and the Cotswolds, and it was the perfect mix of history, charm, and countryside. Bath captivated us with its elegant Georgian architecture, cobbled streets, and the timeless beauty of the Roman Baths. It is a must visit for anyone interested in history and beautiful buildings. We visited in May, which…

Cornwall Road Trip – Four Day Itinerary
Cornwall – some say the most beautiful place in the United Kingdom, filled with crystal clear water, jagged coastlines, sleepy seaside villages and ancient history. Cornwall is a must-visit if you’re staying in the UK – it is absolutely worth the long drive. Travelling by a car is ideal, but it is doable using public…

A Weekend in Brighton
I still remember the first time I heard of Brighton. It was the early 2010s, and I was deep in the world of YouTube — watching Zoella’s vlogs filled with soft fairy lights, candles, and cozy chats in a pastel-toned flat by the sea. Back then, Brighton felt like a whimsical place from another universe…

Alfriston
Alfriston is a small village a twenty minute drive from Eastbourne. Its quaint streets and historic buildings make it a lovely place to explore, with plenty of walking paths nearby that offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The entire village takes about 20 minutes to walk through and is well connected by little paths…

Lewes
One of my favourite day trips from home was to Lewes, a town that somehow manages to feel both deeply historic and vibrantly alive. Set against the rolling South Downs, Lewes wears its medieval character with ease — all cobbled streets, crooked chimneys, and independent shops that look like they’ve been pulled straight out of a…

Rye
A beautiful day trip from our home in Eastbourne is Rye. We visited in early spring and it made for a great day out. Our first stop was Rye Castle (Ypres Tower), which dates back to the 13th century. It’s a small but solid stone fortress with cannons, gloomy old cells, and a bit of…

Eastbourne
We’ve lived in Eastbourne for a while now and have found some lovely little places that make this town feel like home. Whether you’re visiting or just want to explore the area, I thought I’d share a few favourites that we keep coming back to. First up, Beachy Head — such a stunning spot, and we actually…

Wicklow & Dublin
Next, I made my way to Dublin, hoping to get closer to the UK once my visa was sorted. But just a few days after arriving, I learned I’d need to return to Vienna to continue the visa process. Before heading back, I spent a week in a small seaside town called Wicklow — a place you might recognise from…
