Going to university can seem like a scary process at first, especially if you move far away. That’s why going to a uni near your home allows you to have comfort nearby whilst also gaining your independence. I chose to go to uni a 30-minute drive from my home and these are some of the […]

There’s nothing quite like Mamma Mia! – both the film and the musical are simply sublime pieces of art. But the original film, released in 2008, brought together a range of fantastic actors. I mean, let’s be honest, where else would you get Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, and Christine Baranski all in one place, next to Amanda […]

With the continued complications of travel as a result of the ongoing pandemic, many people will likely be seeking alternative holidays this year. One suggestion which might be good for many people is Scotland’s North Coast 500. What is the North Coast 500? The NC500 is a tourist route starting at Inverness Castle which takes […]

Fast cars, big mansions and fancy planes. These are the things you come to expect from billionaires. Nowadays, though, travelling to space is becoming a more common showcase of wealth – but why is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos launching himself out of the atmosphere? While you might typically expect there to be a motive for […]

When considering the impacts of Brexit on the UK, my personal first thoughts were about fishing, trade and holidays abroad. It wasn’t until the lovely Elton John appeared on a BBC interview via zoom that I realised there would be huge implications for musicians. As if Covid-19 hadn’t disrupted the careers of upcoming artists enough, […]

After 178 years, travel firm Thomas Cook went into liquidation, leaving 9000 staff without a job and 150,000 holiday makers stranded abroad. Ever since the company’s collapse became front-page news, the Internet has been bickering non–stop about who has it worse – customers vs colleagues. While most people have sympathy for both the staff and […]

However, Hostelworld makes things a whole lot easier for going abroad with friends, or even by yourself. With cheap hostels all over the world, there are plenty of options and great prices. Hostelworld works by simply […]

3.5/5 When it comes to organising a holiday, or a lengthy stay away, you need reliability and transparency when booking your accommodation. It’s not always the case that you get this when booking online, though with the website Booking.com, you can be guaranteed both of these… most of the time. I was planning a month-long […]

Europe is frequently becoming the place to go on your summer holidays. You can get cheap flights, hotels and hostels – not to mention an interrailing ticket that allows you to travel basically the whole continent. But with so many cities to choose from, I thought I’d narrow it down to the top 3 cities […]

Learning a language is a fantastic way to expand your world and also improve your memory and cognition. A few weeks ago, I began learning Japanese, and I have some tips that may help you if you are thinking of also learning a new language. Don’t pay someone to teach you what you can teach […]

I kind of get irritated by those daily notifications from Facebook – you know the ones, the relentless cry of, “You have memories to look back on today!” It’s like the social networking site is desperately harking back to a time where it was far more relevant than it is today. The Joy of Gigs […]

Coral Reefs are, without a doubt, one of nature’s most fascinating places. Accounting for less than 0.1% of the ocean, they are not only breathtakingly beautiful but incredibly rare (and becoming rarer). The rainforests of the sea, as they are often referred to, are incredibly delicate ecosystems and subject to immense damage from humans. More […]

How many landlords can compete with a portfolio that includes 66 castles, 23 historic gardens and one (very famous) battlefield? Not many. In excess of 400 sites of national significance are managed by English Heritage, the government-funded organisation entrusted to care for England’s protected heritage collection, or – as they put it – ‘telling England’s […]

96 days down, 12 more to go… not that I’ve been counting or anything. To break up the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to squeeze in as much travelling as possible. Montpellier isn’t far from several famous towns and cities and getting from A to B is fairly straightforward in France. At least, it […]

Follow the M40 brick road Fictional locations such as Narnia, Gotham City and Middle Earth have mysteriously appeared on road signs in Oxfordshire. The county council has condemned this as vandalism. I personally believe it’s merely a quiet advertising campaign for the upcoming release of C.S Lewis’s lost manuscript: The Lion, The Witch and the […]

Barley Hall in York was, until the 1980s, disguised as a fairly unremarkable office block. Just before the building was about to be destroyed, its origins and rich history were uncovered. Since then it has become open to the public to visit and explore, and to find out more about the time period it comes […]
