A Weekend in Weimar
Having studied Goethe intensively for a year at university, Weimar had long since been on my list of places to visit in Germany. Finally realising a trip to the famous city was somewhat of a dream for me, especially finally visiting Goethe’s house after having watched a detailed video tour of it last year in class. […]
24 Hours in Bamberg
Last weekend I was given the opportunity to spontaneously visit the beautiful city of Bamberg in Bavaria. And when I say spontaneously, I mean like 4-5 days notice because for me that is very spontaneous.

My Trip to Cambodia #2: Sightseeing
I’ve been doing a terrible job at keeping up with my blogging and it’s now been a whole month since I came back from Cambodia! It’s probably about time that I wrote the second instalment of my adventures there: all about the sightseeing and touristy things I did. While Cambodia may not be the tourism […]
