I love exploring new places by just walking in them and of all the cities I’ve done this in, none have been so full of surprises as Berlin. You could fill days and days here and not set foot inside a building. Walking around the city is like immersing…
Autumn is my favourite season. I love the colours and the weather – not too hot, not too cold. In Australia, it means it’s time for Easter and my birthday. But since living in Canada and the UK I get excited about Halloween and impending snow instead. Travelling to…
