Since moving to Europe, Iceland was yet another place on the bucket list. This was further egged on by watching ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ a couple of years ago, which was completely filmed in Iceland (except for the scenes in New York). It seemed too difficult to get to (does this sound familiar … More Iceland – Reykjavik and the Golden Circle
It’s kind of funny growing up in a country with little immigration outside of Asian and Commonwealth countries. To have a last name outside of the norm instantly perplexes people. I had a lifetime of people mispronouncing my name and instantly assuming for themselves my nationality. My last name is of Polish descent, but that … More Poland – Boleslawiec, Krakow, Wieliczka and Auschwitz
In February when I found out that I had passed my first two CPA exams, we immediately went ahead and booked flights back to Orlando for my final two exams for the end of May. It gave me a quick turnaround and the quicker I could get it over and done with, the better! Since … More USA – Orlando, Florida (II)
I had read on one of the food lovers pages on Facebook that there was an amazing Italian restaurant in downtown Kaiserslautern, owned by a German family that were extremely friendly. I had always wanted to go there, but it always seemed so inconvenient venturing into Kaiserslautern. We have just become lazy, preferring to visit … More Cardinale bei Skendo – Kaiserslautern, Germany
Singapore had always been on my to-do list, ever since a girlfriend and I planned a trip to Hong Kong while at university. Singapore was going to be a free stopover for that trip. Unfortunately, the trip didn’t pan out and we never got to go, but Singapore (and Hong Kong for that matter) always … More Singapore – Singapore

I mainly joined to look at all of the different wanderlust photos that people posted up and to be fair, most of those gorgeous places were already on my list. One place that wasn’t yet on the list that kept showing up … More Italy – Pisa & Cinque Terre
Santorini, Greece. It was on the top of my bucket list since an early teen. I’m not sure I ever thought I’d make it there, and even then once we moved here to Europe I was worried it was going to end up in the ‘too hard’ basket. We originally planned to do Greece for … More Greece Part III – Santorini
It felt like September took forever to arrive. I hated wishing away the good weather that summer brings, but the months leading up to Greece really dragged. Perhaps it was because I finally had a job again, or perhaps it was the fact that I’d waited what felt like my entire life for this journey. … More Greece Part I – Corfu
Nick’s workmate, Jeremiah and his girlfriend Anna were planning a trip to Brussels in Belgium for Anna’s birthday in December. We decided to tag along too – why not, we said! Apologies in advance for the dark photos – the iPhone didn’t like Belgium! The drive took about 3 hours to get there. Or should … More Belgium – Brussels overnighter
Venezia (Venice) Train journey and hotel It was time for us to head to Firenze Station to head to Venice Mestre. I did a lot of research before determining where we would stay the last night of our honeymoon. My heart said Venice (the island), but my mind said Mestre, simply due to budget and … More Italy, Venice
