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…
Tuscan wonder: Florence
Consistently ranked amongst the top 5 cities in Europe, Florence has a unique charm. It is a perfect reflection of Italian culture; the food, the wine, the art and architecture. It’s romantic, alluring, and pulls you back into an ethereal era, with loads to discover amidst its cobbled streets. Walk down (or up) Ponte Vecchio. This…

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…
European Christmas: Paris, Brussels and Copenhagen
I love Christmas! It is my favourite time of the year, and I start counting down to Christmas around September every year! Christmas trees, lights, food, champagne, Santa, carols, movies, shopping, and the festive cheer around every corner makes me warm and fuzzy. London is AMAZING during Christmas time, but I always wanted to experience…
Nordic autumn: Oslo
When I visited Oslo in 2014, the ‘scandi cool’ craze had just started. For most, Oslo is just a stopover on the way to see the Northern lights, but if you go at the right time, the city has quite a bit to offer. I think no one else does Autumn like Scandi countries do!…
