Byron Restaurant: A Proper Hamburger in Manchester

Last night I paid a visit to a new burger joint in town, called Byron (haha sorry I was practising my New York accent).

Byron calls itself a "proper hamburger" restaurant, although it takes classic American food and makes it very well,  the interior reflects its northern industrial surroundings with hanging light bulbs and exposed brick work. (I would like to know if all Byron restaurants are like this)

Air BnB: A Cheaper Way of Travel Accommodation

If you are travelling or like to travel on a budget, then like me, you will always look on the usual Hostelbookers.com or Hostel World sites for cheap accommodation when backpacking.

In recent years there has been the craze of 'couch surfing' with numerous websites allowing people to register their free coach/sofa for travelers to come and spend the night(s) on - I'm always a little sceptical of things like this due to the horror stories that were also once attached to dorm rooms in hostels! I also know lots people who have done this and loved it - so I suppose it's just he luck of the draw :)

Spanish Food Markets in Manchester

Today I visited the lovely St. Anne's Square in Manchester to visit their Spanish food and craft markets.

Due to the great weather we were having it seeing every photographer and our group was paying a visit. But, here you can find a range of jewellery, pottery, art, photography and more importantly food.

Elephant Trekking Trips in Thailand

For me Thailand was my first big travel adventure and it will always have a special place in my heart. For those of you who have visited Thailand, it is out of this world in terms of the atmosphere, the kindness of the locals and the stunning landscapes.

Whilst travelling around Koh Samui, before visiting Phuket, we decided that we would like to go on one of the famous elephant treks. There are so many treks to choose from, that you can book through your hotel reception or online, for us we booked this at our hostel/hotel reception for 850THB which is the equivalent to £18.00 or $28 * and it was for half a day as it was incorporated into a full day tour and our morning was spent at a waterfall.

Exploring Leper Island in Crete

If you choose Crete as your holiday destination, you may be dreaming of sandy beaches or warm Mediterranean waters. 


And of course, you will find this in abundance on your visit, but you will also find plenty of other places of interest, and when it comes to places of interest, there is nothing like a leper colony is there?!

Yep, Crete has, or that should be had, its very own leper colony on the small island of Spinalonga and it is one of the top Crete attractions for tourists. So what can you expect to see on a visit here?

Wanderlust Fashion: Travel Swimwear by Country

For those of you living or travelling in the UK at the moment, then you will know we have glorious sunshine that is rivaling some of Europe's hotter countries like Greece and Italy.

I have also noticed that there are a number of high-street brands out in full force to promote their fabulous bikini ranges for the summer months. I think you will all agree that when travelling to a warm climate, a good bikini is a must have item.

Raqib Shaw & the UKs Best Art Galleries

Recently I was visiting one of my favourite places in Manchester... The Manchester Art Gallery which open 7 days a week and is free to all visitors.

They have held an I intriguing Alice in Wonderland-esque exhibition since February by an amazing artist called Raqib Shaw! An artist who is inspired by the classic artist pieces from the Asia and had incorporated them into Klimpt style paintings. 

When watching his video, before viewing, he explains how his work is the combination of cheap paints, glass and rhinestones. Safe to say his work is truly breath taking.
