I’ve loved writing for as long as I can remember. I’ve also loved football for as long as I can remember. Put the two of them together and it was obvious that I was going to do some football writing at some point. Or in my case, at many points and a LOT of football…

There are a load of different options for travelling between London and Paris these days, all of which have their pros and cons. But increased fuel and taxes makes travelling by car or flying too expensive for lots of people. I wouldn’t even think about flying it to be honest!! Travelling by ferry is an option of…

I always like to keep tabs with new websites and ideas within the travel industry, it’s actually a bit of an obsession of mine! I’ve joined a load of fellow bloggers and travel pages on Facebook and I’m regularly looking for new options and sites to use. I recently found GoEuro, which is a new…

Another of those “you had to be there” travel stories and this time it comes from Iceland.

I spent a year living and working in London, and a fair bit longer travelling there to and fro over the years. It’s a city oozing in passion, but it’s all a bit too “business like” for me. Full of people in suits and briefcases, people with phones that do stuff only computers used to…

You know what, I LOVE Berlin. Yes, but due to my crazy travel adventures, I ain’t been back since 2007. It’s a great city with so much going for it. History, culture, food and DRINK. Boy have I had some crazy nights out in Berlin!! In fact I reckon it’s the European City I have…
