Photo Of The Week: The World’s Too Small For Walls

June 26, 2011

Back in 2007, I went on a Uni trip to Berlin. I didn’t really know what to expect and was absolutely blown away by the city. It was honestly one of the best trips of my life – I think we saw and did almost everything there is to see and do. And there really … More Photo Of The Week: The World’s Too Small For Walls

Apple Store Challenge: London Regent Street

May 22, 2011

I remember queuing for hours on the opening day of this store back in 2004 – it was the first one to open in Europe.

Photo Of The Week: Coursegoules, France

March 20, 2011

Every summer since I was three years old, I’ve visited by Grandma’s house in the little village of Coursegoules, in the south of France. The village sits on the top of a mountain, and the house is located in the center of the village, as it used to be a hotel. Right next door is … More Photo Of The Week: Coursegoules, France

In the summer of 2009 I visited Italy with my family and just like last year we went to Siena for an evening, to see the sights and sit at one of the many restaurants in the Piazza del Campo.

Photo Of The Week: The Eden Project, Cornwall

February 27, 2011

Last year, just before Christmas (2009), I went to the Eden Project with some friends to go ice skating and generally wander around. I’d never been before, even after living in Cornwall for 3 years, so was curious to see what all the fuss was about…I think it definitely lived up to the hype. It … More Photo Of The Week: The Eden Project, Cornwall
