A trip to Budapest – Food, Fun, Adventure!
Goulash and cabbage. That’s what my 1990’s geography education had instilled in my brain to expect as the highlight of Budapest. Whatever cold war government propaganda had filled those classroom textbooks, even if there was some truth to it… It’s not true anymore and it massively misses the mark on what has now become my favourite city in Central Europe. The stereotypical goulash, cabbage and other classics are there in …
Moroccan Hammam – Getting naked with strangers in Eranouk Hammam, Essaouira
I suppose, of all the countries in the World, Morocco would be one of the last I’d have expected to end up in a room full of almost naked women. Nudity or toplessness is the norm in a Moroccan hammam, and little foreign me was just going to have to embrace it… It’s not really the done thing in western cultures – bathing with others in a state of undress. …

How to have a bath in a volcano – The Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa Iceland
As an Aussie girl, the freezing wastes of the north Atlantic are a world away from home… The land of fire and ice is about as far from normality for me as is possible. Fortunately there is a pleasant compromise in the middle of these two extremes… The Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa. If you ever get to visit Iceland these thermal springs are the top-of-the-list attraction for all travellers, especially if …
