Prague on a Budget

June 19, 2011 · 3 comments

This is a guest post from Ceri Houlbrook.

As a self-proclaimed history-buff, culture-junkie and travel-addict, a trip to Prague obviously ranked high on my bucket list. I’d heard nothing but good things about Czech’s beautiful capital; everyone who’s been there sings its praises, commending the architecture, the history, the atmosphere – and, more often than not, the beer.

Summer Days

June 14, 2011 · 1 comment

This is guest post. It’s that time of year. Getting out of bed in the morning is a feat, our breaths are visible in the crisp early morning air and scarves are coming down from the top of the cupboard. For most of us in Australia, it’s chilly. It’s also the time of year when across the seas, in the fair skied Europe, things are heating up and an atmosphere of ‘we made it’ starts to emerge. The good news is, a seat on a bargain flight is all you need to lift the sentence of short days and blistering cold and darkness, and bare your limbs to the sun.
If you need any reason to get overseas sometime in the next few months, here they are, along with some suggestions on where you’ll find your best summer yet!

  • Long days: We get long days in Australia in the summer but for seriously long days or days that never end, Europe (especially very far north) is the place to go. With the added bonus of clear pearly skies, summer evening kickbacks can last forever. In Paris it often doesn’t get completely dark until at least 11pm, so you’ve got endlessly long French evenings to enjoy fine company, great food and wine, and blissful weather.

Bali is perfect in the evenings

Mallorca

June 4, 2011 · 2 comments

This is a guest post from Liah S Thorley.

So which is it, Mallorca or Majorca? To the Spanish there is no question; the latter is nothing but a touristic invention. But it’s not only in the name that this island is that complex, like a coin there are two sides to Mallorca. The first is the common perception of home from home cuisine and the pub down the road with the big screen TV. The second is a beautiful island of rugged coastline, stunning beaches, historical architecture and classy real-estate.

This is a guest post from Michal Kniec, A student from Canada.

As a Canadian I welcome the winter and everything that comes with it. I find it welcome to visit places not only during the season but experience the beauty within such scenery. When I came across the opportunity to visit Moscow during my Christmas break I knew I couldn’t turn it down.
