I was in Amritsar in January 2018 with my cousin, and while researching the many activities that we wanted to undertake, visiting the Wagah Border and witnessing the flag ceremony between India and Pakistan was something she definitely wanted to do, and I thought, 'Well why not?'. While hunting around for the best way to … Continue reading Visiting the Wagah Border from Amritsar, India
https://www.instagram.com/p/BHR5yshBNCh/ Georgia (in Europe) has been a bit of a hot-spot for a while now; everyone I know has been, or is planning a trip.

I visited New York, Boston and Washington DC for the first time through March-April 2016, and here's a few things I picked up during my two weeks there - if you haven't been before, hopefully this might help! Before I forget: if you're interested in purchasing a mobile SIM while you're there, I bought a T-Mobile SIM … Continue reading Travel tips: New York
The latest water park on the block in the UAE is the Yas Waterworld, Abu Dhabi. I was extremely lucky to get to attend the grand opening on January 19, 2013.

As I stood inside Grand Union Station, Chicago, watching my carefully laid plans crash and tumble all around me, I knew I was in trouble. I had carefully planned … Continue reading Travel around Chicago without technology
That view up there...almost didn't happen. I wanted to do something I'd never done before. And it hit me: I'd never gone on the water ferry before.

I started looking it up on the RTA website and found two options: one that leaves from the … Continue reading Exploring Dubai from the Creek and open waters
It's that time of the year again. When younglings (no I haven't been watching Star Wars lately, although I should) head off to greener, often colder shores (this cold bit applies if you're living in the Middle East) to pursue their education. I remember all too well how it was for me two years ago - … Continue reading Going abroad to study? – Part 1
I only managed to snatch the end of this exuberant performance, but it would seem that Covent Garden over the weekend is a hotbed of talented artists and it was quite an engrossing time I spent there. Anyone who'd like a relaxed and entertaining day out should take advantage of any sunny weather coming … Continue reading Covent Garden Market
I've always wanted to see Agatha Christie's play, The Mousetrap, and I decided now was a good time as any. I toddled off to St. Martin's Theatre (map), situated towards the end of the picturesque Seven Dials area of London, with tickets for the upper circle.
