Stonehenge, the characteristic and mysterious site famous around the world, has been on my list of places to visit for absolute ages. But despite living in London, a mere 80 miles away, for 6 years, I only finally managed to visit Stonehenge a couple of weeks ago. The main reason why I postponed that trip for so long was that it seemed tricky to get to without a car. However, there are ways! In this post, I will tell you about getting to Stonehenge, but also describe the visit itself. Here is how the trip was organised, and most importantly, what you can expect from visiting Stonehenge.

Trips to Christmas markets are amongst my all-time favourite things to do. As soon as the Christmas period ends, I start counting down days to when the Christmas markets start again. In the UK, my favourite Christmas markets are in Manchester, Winchester, and Birmingham. Overall, the best Christmas market, in my opinion, is probably in Vienna, Austria. But today, let me take you to a few Christmas markets in my homeland, Poland. The one in Wroclaw is probably amongst the best in Europe!

I’ve already posted about my day in Bellinzona, a stunning Swiss town with three castles. Today, I’m taking you to Milan, Italy, where I spent a few days.

You may remember a few recent posts about my hikes in the Tatra Mountains – I went on a hiking holiday to my home country, Poland. Today, I’d like to share the final hike from that trip. It was our last day of the holiday, and the longest hike we’ve done. We went to Dolina 5 Stawow, Zawrat, and Morskie Oko – some of the most popular destinations in Polish mountains. It was a long and tiring hike, but the views were spectacular. We even managed to see some of the elusive, protected animals in the national park!

A couple of weeks ago, I had an opportunity to visit Switzerland for the very first time. One of my best friends, whom I met in London, got married in her home country ‐ specifically, in Bellinzona, a town in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland. I was able to explore Bellinzona for a few hours, and I loved it – the views were stunning, the town is beautiful, and I even found a cute cat to pet. I also ate in a Michelin star restaurant for the first time in my life. Here’s how I spent an afternoon in Bellinzona, Switzerland.

Saturday day trips are one of my favourite things in life. I love visiting new towns, but I also like to explore new places in London. Although I’ve lived in the British capital for over 6 years now, there are still many places I haven’t been to. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to spend a day in west London. Living on the east side of the city, I don’t often go all the way to the other end. I decided to visit two beautiful estates: Marble Hill and Ham House, and then had a walk around one of my favourite parks in London: Richmond Park. If you’re looking for things to do in west London, here’s how I spent a day there.
