24 Things To Do In London

It's my 24th Birthday, so I thought I would share 24 things I've done so far in London...

1. Become a plant mum

Wow. It’s only March, and Moonlight is already one of my favourite films of 2017. This is a beautifully told and emotionally charged story of growth, that digs down under your skin and refuses to be forgotten.

City Guide | Vienna, Austria

Vienna Vol. 2

Last time I was in Vienna I had a stomach bug and spent most of the time sleeping. This was all that made it to the blog: 

"So while I technically did pass through Austria and visited Vienna, I don't really remember it. On the train from Prague I must have caught the tail end of Tyler's food poisoning or something similar ( I feel totally comfortable blaming the hostel for any illness I may have contracted) and spent the first day in bed at the Meininger Hostel (a chain I would recommend) throwing up and generally dead to the world. On the second day we made it to the Natural History Museum, which was pretty groovy. Then we played some pool, drank some cheap Becks - because beer is the traveller's medicine - and were off the Italy the very next day..."

This time around we were there for just under a week, and I was travelling with family. Aka we did real proper stuff 'n' shit. I really felt like I got to see another side of Vienna; a rich cultural heritage, expressed through architectural design, food and music. Between museum visits and stuffing my face with Viennese food, I tried to capture some of Vienna's best bits.  The focus of this post is the images rather than words, as we visited so many different museums and galleries and that describing them would be less interesting than only showing you the highlights. The photos  are divided into visual themes, rather than chronologically. Enjoy!

3 Must-See Historic London Homes

London's House Museums
3 Must-See Historic Homes

There are so many amazing houses in London that have been preserved and are open to the public for viewing. There are some big names left off this very short list, for example the Sir John Soane's Museum and Dennis Severs' House. Here I have picked 3 of my recently visited favourites. I have deliberately chosen only a few photos for each place, as the real magic is in seeing the houses for yourself.
