Weekend in Trentino, Italy: Visit Rovereto and Trento

Ah, Trentino. If you would have asked me a year ago where Trentino is, I would have stared at you blankly. However, if you asked me the same question now my eyes would light up and I would excitedly tell you about this gem nestled between the Dolomites and north shores of Lake Garda. Whilst many people have heard of Lake Garda fewer visitors seem to make their way to this north east Italian province and frankly, that’s a shame....

The Ultimate Guide to Manchester by A Local

The “ultimate” guide to Manchester, now, that’s quite a statement. However, having lived in Manchester for almost 8 years, I thought it was about time I jotted down a local’s guide to Manchester. There’s just so much to write about this wonder of a city – from its industrial history to modern foodie revolution. From the shiny skyscrapers of Spinningfields to the red brick buildings of Northern Quarter. It’s hardly a secret that I adore this city; I’ve lived in...

3 Days in Dublin: A Dublin Itinerary Without Beer

In a city famous for strong whiskey, pints of black stout and late pub nights it can be overwhelming to find a Dublin itinerary that involves nothing of the above. Admittedly, this is a selfish itinerary as I’ve never liked beer (or whiskey) and so this is basically a shout out to all my fellow anti-beer people. HELLO. Ramble aside, visits to Guinness (stout) or Jameson (whiskey) often dominate Dublin itineraries and surely I can’t be the only one who’d...

Dun Laoghaire; A Coastal Half Day Trip from Dublin

The town is an easy journey from Dublin by train or even bus, making it an ideal half day trip from Dublin. If you want to really chill out you could also make Dun Laoghaire a full day trip from Dublin. The main appeal of Dun Laoghaire is the slower pace...
