Christmas Markets In Poland – Wroclaw, Poznan – Top European Christmas Markets

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!

An Afternoon In Bellinzona, Switzerland – Castles, Michelin Star Lunch

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.

A Day In West London – Marble Hill, Ham House, Richmond Park

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.

London In Photos – Summer 2025 – Parks, Exhibitions, Wildlife

This year, we’ve been blessed with an amazing summer here in London. Stereotypical English weather, with rain every day? Forget about it! It’s been sunny and warm pretty much since April, with very few showers and several heatwaves. In fact, I feel like it’s been one of the longest summers in my life, and I’m actually ready for autumn. Because of the drought and hot weather, dry leaves are already falling from the trees like crazy. The weather took a bit of a turn within the last week, and I don’t even mind the cooler days. So, it feels like the perfect time to look back at the summer of 2025. Here are some photos from London and other parts of the UK!

A Long Weekend In York, England – Magical, Haunted Medieval City

Today, I’m taking you on a weekend trip to York – a beautiful, medieval city in the north of England, filled with charming roads, quirky shops and interesting landmarks. I went to York during the bank holiday weekend at the end of August, and spent three days in that stunning city. I tried some local food, visited lots of museums, and even joined a ghost tour. But most importantly, I strolled along the medieval roads, admiring the architecture. Join me on this trip, with dozens of pictures!

Karb, Czarny Staw Gasienicowy Hike – Tatra Mountains – Poland

In July, I went to Zakopane, Poland, for a hiking holiday. It’s one of my absolute favourite places in the world, and the mountains are stunning. I already posted about my hikes to Kasprowy Wierch and to Czerwone Wierchy. Today, I’m going to take you to Karb – a spot I didn’t know about until the day I went there, partly by accident. It’s not a well known trail, but it’s actually phenomenal and I can recommend it if you’re visiting Tatra Mountains.
