Three Months in Europe: Map & Itinerary

January 18, 2018 by Emily Leave a Comment

Daniel and I fondly refer to our early 2016 European backpacking trip as “Big Europe”. It was, indeed, a big trip!

Travel With Me // Lucerne in Two Days

March 15, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

I’ve struggled to get this post on Lucerne together for a variety of reasons. The main reason is one I’ve mentioned before and which is consistently the culprit behind my blogging breaks – busy season is in full swing at work. However, I can’t fully blame my lack of inspiration to blog on busy season since I’m on… continue reading

January 13, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

Travel With Me // A Day in Oxford

January 15, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

For our day trip to Oxford, we traveled in by train from Bristol just as we did for our day trip to Bath the day before. The train journey to Oxford was much longer than to Bath (about an hour and a half), but it was still very convenient and worth the savings in hotel prices…. continue reading
