Teleportation may not have been invented yet, but the fact that we can physically move from place to place around the world with relative ease has to be considered a pretty phenomenal feat in and of itself, don’t you think? While we are fans of slow travel and really getting to immerse ourselves in a […]

An Insider’s Look into a Paris Flea Market: The World’s Largest
Exit Porte de Clignancourt metro station and start heading towards Paris’ famed ‘Les Puces de Saint-Ouen’ flea market, and you might start getting that disappointing feeling of a wasted trip.

[VLOG] Celebrating July 14th in Paris
There’s always a risk when you hold such high expectations of a place. That you’ve built it up so much in your head, no reality can possibly live up to it. Yet I went to Paris with an assuredness like no other. I’d fantasized about Paris for so long, there was almost no way I […]

In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we start off with a BANG, joining in on France’s most celebrated day of the year, National Day/Jessica’s birthday!

Photo a Day Project: Weekly Round-up #29
In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we scoot through 4 countries and, due to an overly roundabout route from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Montenegro, pass through six border control points. Despite the long night, these went without a hitch, which unfortunately cannot be said for a few other passengers, allowing us […]

I like to think there’s a reason for me being born on July 14th and my unfathomable obsession with Paris and politics.
