    Thailand Backpacking Route

    26/02/2018

    Choosing a Thailand backpacking route can be difficult, especially given the wide range of tourist attractions on offer. The country relies heavily on tourism and, as a result, offers travellers hundreds of budget activity choices including museums, palaces, Buddhist temples, beaches, World Heritage sites and cooking classes. If you’re going to Thailand, I recommend you take AT LEAST 2 weeks to do so. With this kind of time frame, you’d be able to catch a good little preview of what the country has to offer. For me, your Thailand route comes down to one main question: North or South Thailand? North Thailand The less obvious of the two. Most new travellers know less about…

    Beach holiday? Mention Ibiza, and most people think of the famously wild island super clubs. Young party goers arriving en mass to tan, drink, and celebrate club culture with the creme de la creme of the world’s DJ’s. HOWEVER, the island has an alternative side to offer. Remove yourself from high energy San Antonio, and you can turn Ibiza into the ultimate European sunset, crystal beach, wanderlust spot: Benirrás hippy beach A relaxing little cove beach, located in the North Ibiza, flanked by rows of small boat huts. Take a picnic and stroll around the mini hippy market, before settling on one of the many little wooden docks to sun…

    Things to know before you visit Havana, Cuba

    28/02/2017

    Taking a trip to Cuba before it gets completely devoured by tourism? After a little stint in bustling Havana, this is what I found out… You won’t get the Cuban exchange rate the web tells you The Cuban currency is a closed one, meaning you can’t buy it outside of Cuba, and you need to get rid f it before you leave. This gives the Cubans a lot more power over what rate you get. The web told me I’d get 1.24 CUC to the pound. The airport gave me 1.19. There was nothing I could do but accept it to get my transport into the city. I was also told…

    What not to pack for Thailand

    23/10/2016

    Two years living in Thailand means that every time I go back, I pretty much go with an empty bag. Thailand was my first ever solo backpacking stop, and I wish I’d known not to take the following as a backpacker/someone who set up camp for years… (sorry if this feels a bit female orientated, but… er.. I’m female?) Mosquito repellent It was one of the first things I was told to buy.. “get yourself down to Boots and buy a huge bottle of the strongest Deet you can find”. …..Don’t bother! First of all, those wee Thai mozzies don’t give a rats ass about your Deet.. they’re still going…

The Witches Rock in Fife sits alongside the shorel
The Witches Rock in Fife sits alongside the shoreline of Torryburn. Accused of witchcraft, people were tied out here to be judged & sentenced by the waters. There was no escape, a sentence was inevitable - you drown, you are found innocent, you survive, you are a witch and sentenced to punishment.

The team at @heyplantbae on Edinburgh's Easter Road have extended their cafe offering with a huge range of colourful (and enormous) pastries - perfect for weekend breakfast and/or brunch! 
Their pastries are plant based and vegan friendly, but you'd never tell the difference between them and their dairy-filled alternatives.

Finally made it down to Edinburgh Street Food at the Omni Centre to try out their vegan options.
The two key vegan offerings are Antojitos (all vegan) and Homies pizza (3 vegan pizza choices). 
It's been noted by many others before me that prices at ESF are astronomical - I agree - and while I appreciate it's a central location with high running costs, the prices (from what we saw) are not reflective of portion sizes.

In the 1590s, King James VI Scotland's fear of witchcraft began stirring up national panics. From the late 16th to the early 18th century, accusations of witchcraft spread like wildfire throughout Scotland.

The only named witch's grave in Scotland – Lillias
The only named witch's grave in Scotland - Lillias Aidie's story deserves more recognition than it receives. 
Scotland's persecution of 'witches' hit its peaks between the late 16th to the early 18th century. It is estimated that between 3 and 4 thousand people were tortured and executed as 'witches'.
At the age of 64, Lillias Aidie was added to the list of suspects after a woman felt delirious after an evening of drinking one night in 1704 — and so she concluded that her neighbor, Lilias, must have summoned Satan to cast a spell on her.

The Bourse de Commerce in Paris, France, was originally built to store and sell wheat.
Initially, it was an open-air interior court, later topped by a wooden dome that was replaced with copper in 1811.
The mural inside was painted in 1889. In 2021 it re-opened to the public following extensive renovations as an exhibition gallery that fuses contemporary art with Parisian heritage.
