Brussels, Belgium
So, how did this happen. I’ve been home all of five seconds and I immediately booked my weekends up with flights and trains away. Good work settling down in London, I know. But this is fun. That’s…

Luxembourg
— Covers 998 square miles (smaller than Oxfordshire!) — French / German / Luxembourgish — The only Grand Duchy!
Lille, France
This was my first trip since not having commitments Mon-Fri, so it felt odd leaving on a Friday only to have to return on the Sunday, simply because that’s what I had previously booked the ticket…
Dusseldorf – Germany
Another day, another trip out of the country. I arrived in Dusseldorf later than I planned. So late in fact that the hostel I had booked for two nights didn’t have anyone on reception.
Lyon, France
Oh, Lyon. You started off so well. I got on the Eurostar to find I had my own private seat of which to relax in.
The Netherlands
Unfortunately my diary was washed away. Here’s some lovely photos with a few captions to wet your appetite for The Netherlands!
Berlin – Germany
So this is it, I’m on the road again. It’s a strange feeling on the run up to it and the same as last time. There’s no fear. Equally, there’s no real bubble of excitement. The week running up to it,…
Prague, Czech
The first thing you notice in Prague is all the stag parties (and the odd hen party). It doesn’t seem to matter what time of day it is, there’s always a few of them drinking beer and roaming the…
Krakow – Poland
Although I’m only a few countries in, I’m already blown away by the beauty that Eastern Europe has to offer. The history of it is so rich, varied and emotional, that it is a trip that I really needed…
Bratislava – Slovakia
Slovakia wasn’t the luckiest of countries for me. It started off with a train having its running time changed without me knowing. Which meant I had to get an overnight train instead (paying for the…
Budapest – Hungary
When I arrive in Budapest I’m not feeling my usual ‘top of the morning to ya” self. I wouldn’t say I was ill but certainly not healthy. As is the way in my life, I’ll conk out, recharge and move on.…
Timisoara – Romania
Arriving in Romania for what was meant to be my final weekend of party before I make it to France for school next week but, although in much higher spirits, still with a need for sleep. Thankfully,…
Belgrade – Serbia
Some days it becomes blatantly obvious to me that my ignorance can so easily become a hindrance. Today is one of those days. My stubbornness, seemingly, exists only to exacerbate the hindrance into a…
Ljubljana – Slovenia
The night train to get here was fantastic. I met two awesome people from the Netherlands on it. One of whom was reading my favourite book at the moment: Sapiens. They taught me a great game called…
Switzerland
I’m going further West. The trains are getting better. I like this. Thanks to a gregarious gentleman inspecting the tickets, who seemingly had a bit of a thing for me, I got upgraded to a single…
Montpellier, France
Visiting my Brother (2015) I first came to Montpellier way back in ~2015 to visit my brother who would occasionally come to Montpellier for work.
