Oktoberfest is just one of those classic European bucket list items that most people want to do in their 20s and 30s. I had an image in my mind formulated as a result of a number of Oktoberfest-inspired nights I had been to in London over the years – boisterous, sticky pubs with university students…

Naughty and Nice: Amsterdam
Amsterdam is my most-visited European city. In the last 6 years, I have been to Amsterdam over 10 times and have loved every single visit! It has such a notorious reputation – and yes – for first-timers it is certainly liberating. But once you get that bit out of your system, you truly start to…
Winter wonderland: Iceland
Snow, ice, freezing conditions. Though the thought of this elicits fear and dread in most people, I am the person who loves winter! It is my favourite season, and growing up in a hot country, I always had this fascination with snow. Therefore it is only fair for me to choose one of the coldest…
25 European cities: A throwback
2018 marks 10 years since my first visit to Europe. It was a family holiday with my parents and sister back in 2008 when I was living in India, when we visited London and Paris. This was officially the beginning of my love affair with these 2 incredible cities. Just 4 years later, I made…

When in Rome… don’t blink for a second or you may miss something! The entire city is a priceless treasure; a living and breathing tribute to history. I couldn’t stop gasping as I walked around the city, each fragment of it a work of art built by the great grand masters. The art, culture, icons, people… they’re…
City in 12 hours: Berlin
I am very fortunate as I get to travel to many new cities/countries every year as part of my job. However, this means that I have little to no time to actually see the place. I also love looking for cheap weekend breaks, and sometimes you can get Ryanair one-way fares that are less than…
City in 12 hours: Dublin
I am very fortunate as I get to travel to many new cities/countries every year as part of my job. However, this means that I have little to no time to actually see the place. I am usually shuttling between the airport, hotel, and conferences and meetings. It can get very intense, but if I…
