London – Part 1.
You may have, or most likely may not have noticed that I have been absent from my blog for a little over two weeks: reason being I was visiting family in London. I intended to upkeep my usual daily writing schedule but honestly I was too busy trying to overcome a few personal issues, bad…

Where to eat in South Korea #1 – Seoul Food 🇰🇷🥢
Food has become a consistent topic on my blog. I have discussed the foods I have eaten in reacounts of my daily life and outings, as well as occasional taste experiences abroad plus numerous recipes. However until now I haven’t given the names of many of the restaurants and fast food joints I have enjoyed…

My Long Haul Flight Essentials.
The first flight I ever took was of April last year. It was a long haul flight from England to South Korea; and I was well prepared considering my close family members had never been on a flight themselves in order to be able to give me advice for this independent travel experience. Only problem…

[Food]: 25 Korean Dishes.
By no means am I an expert when it comes to Korean cuisine: I simply haven’t digested enough of it yet – luckily. Despite regularly rotating between my most favourite Korean dishes I believe I have tried enough or am aware of plenty of traditional and modern Korean meals to comply a list. If you…

[South Korea]: A Guide of Places to Visit.
Yesterday evening I composed a pole on one of my social media accounts to determine which post write today. By demand, 56% of voters preferred that I delicate a post to ‘places to visit in South Korea’. Quite some time ago I wrote a similar post about London, feel free too take a peek: Since…

[Blogmas] Day 25: A Trip to Osaka, Japan – 19/12/17
The events of our holiday unravelled, replaying in my mind as we woke up with heavy eyes. We slept quite late as we much rather preferred spending as much of our last hours in Osaka with friends as apposed to getting plenty of sleep before dawn: our flight being around 11am. Thankfully we passed through…

[Blogmas] Day 24: A Trip to Osaka, Japan – 18/12/17
That Monday was our last full day in Japan. More so or less we had achieved to experience everything we had set out in our rough plans in which me made prior to the holiday. One thing for sure was that we were surprising quite hungry considering we had ate well the evening/night beforehand. We…

[Blogmas] Day 23: A Trip to Kyoto, Japan – 17/12/17
As it was a Sunday, our friends very kindly used their only day off from work to explore Kyoto with us. Our meeting destination was Osaka Station (-I think that’s the station, all the different names of places have become muddled in my head). We had a little time to spare so we decided to…

[Blogmas] Day 22: A Trip to Osaka, Japan – 16/12/17
Our third day in Osaka didn’t exactly begin until past midday, as we decided to stay indoors to restore our energy levels until meeting our friends once again after they had finished work for the day. I vaguely remember mentioning that the Airbnb we had rented wasn’t well equipment in terms of providing a sufficient…

[Blogmas] Day 21: A Trip to Osaka, Japan – 15/12/17
The first couple of day’s of our trip to Osaka had required alot of walking, switching back and forth between modes of transport and early morning starts; so we decided to sleep until almost midday. Shortly after waking we took things easy by completing our blog and YouTube tasks before heading out to Namba during…

[Blogmas] Day 20: A Trip to Osaka, Japan – 14/12/17
I should have guessed… this was a what I like to call an ‘eating cycle’ day. We started off the day’s journey by directing ourselves toward Shinsaibashi: an area particularly associated as a shopping and restaurant district. Among all the foods that we could experience in Osaka, we knew it would be a must to…

[Blogmas] Day 19: A Trip to Osaka, Japan – 13/12/17.
Our day started of not so pleasantly with a 6am start, though I somehow managed to sleep enough considering I left packing my suitcase to the last night before departure (not intentionally). The flight from Seoul International Airport to Osaka-Kansai Airport thankfully was shorter than the stated duration. The view was quite nice: plenty of…

[Blogmas] Day 12: How is Christmas Celebrated in South Korea?
Around half of South Korea’s population are Christians, so attending a church service on Christmas Day is usually the only traditon upheld by citizens. However due to Korea’s connection with The United States of America and the last few generations being fascinated by western cultures, some Koreans have adopted Christmas celebrations from outside of Asia…

More Food!?
Well…it seems as if I’m not going to totally slow down on the ‘exploring new foods’ train. I’m eating enough well balanced meals thesedays, just twice a week my lunch or dinner will be some fast food or at a restaurant in the streets of Incheon and Seoul. Besides, I’m doing well with my cardiovascular…

Simple British Things I Miss.
As expected I would mainly miss my family and friends when moving abroad, I knew no one but my boyfriend. With time I am becoming less depressed and focused on the people who I don’t have physically with me; those whom of course I won’t forget, never. Thesedays as time approaches the festive season, I’ve…

My favourite Korean Snacks.
Who doesn’t love snacks from different countries? Lately imported snacks and other junk foods in most countries are becoming easier to obtain. Some of the Korean snacks I’d like to recommend to you today are a mixture of common snack which you could most likely get at your local Asian supermarket or the Chinatown of…

This past weekend.
This past weekend was a little different for usual. I barely spent time at home and past through the crowded city of Seoul which I preferably would avoid at a weekend. My boyfriend and I attended two music concerts held and produced by a lovely, very talented married couple who we are only just beginning…

2 Days in 1 Blog Post.
Quite late into yesterday afternoon my boyfriend and I unexpectedly decided to take a little shopping trip to Myeondong, which is the biggest most famous shopping district in Seoul, South Korea. The evening is especially the busiest time to walk the streets of Myeondong as tourists are around experiencing the street foods and Korean citizens…

My travel essentials for my trip to Osaka, Japan.
In a month I’m taking a brief week long trip to Osaka, Japan. It’s going to be equally or even colder there this December than it is in Korea and certainly at least entering the minus degrees which the UK doesn’t experience until late January or February. Apart from the obvious essentials including a thick…

Food Diary – 9/11/17.
When I first saw ‘what I eat in a day’ vlogs and blogs, I thought it was a little irritating how people boasted of how healthy their diets are. Some of us might be jealous that others seemingly ease into a plant based, Gluten-free lifestyle which we may have struggled to strive for ourselves; others…

Confessions of a foodie: South Korea.
Whenever abroad it’s a natural urge from within us to try new foods and flavours, especially when it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit somewhere. Let’s be honest. Plenty of us, even the healthy, like to endulge in sweet or savoury treats. When I was back home in the UK, undeniably I would…

A taste of France.
This Summer my boyfriend and I decided to move to Bordeaux, France; mainly for education purposes. Honestly, Bordeaux wasn’t our preferred choice of city but it seemed like it could bring the opportunities we were in search of. Upon arrival we had nowhere of our own to rent, so for the time being we had prebooked…

25 British traditions and traits.
‘So what traditions does the UK have?’ – The dreaded questions that foreigners have often asked me, which simply cannot be answer with anything interesting or unique. It’s quite disappointing for a UK admirer when you have to tell them the honest truth that most Brits don’t eat crumpets and scones everyday. I think many…

Where to go in London 🇬🇧
Of course anyone visiting London could simply Google something along the lines of ‘Top 10 places to visit in London’, but sometimes those search results lack reviews or have lengthy websites informing us about them. Here I have assembled a little guide of my favourite places in London which I deem to be worth a…

From England, to South Korea.
In April of this year I spent my Easter break in South Korea. It was my first visit to Korea and first time going abroad; an out of character spontaneous decision. Let’s be honest, most Brits lack knowledge about Korea unless they’re a kpop or kdrama enthusiast. I’m not interested in the Korean celebrity scandals,…
