Tramlines music festival is fast approaching with it set to overtake Sheffield from Friday 20th July – Sunday 22nd July.  Celebrating its 10th year, Tramlines is one of the UK’s longest running inner-city music festivals attracting over 100,000 people into Sheffield in 2017. From what first begun as a mutli-venue festival which mixed outdoor stages and city centre venues such as the Leadmill and Yellow Arch Studios has quickly become an internationally sought festival.

The British love coffee, almost more than the Americans do. We love it so much that we get through over 2.3billion* cups of the stuff via any one of the 22,845* coffee outlets that are now helping us through our days. Taking up 54%* of the outlet share the leading chain coffee shops are expanding at an increasingly alarming rate. With that rise it now seems like you can’t walk down a street without seeing the ground littered with at least one branded coffee cup and although t

After spending the first few days of our Morocco trip within the medina of Marrakech and the Sahara desert we decided to take the opportunity to slow the pace down and take a day to recharge. With that in mind we headed for ‘Jardin Majorelle’, located on Rue Yves Saint Laurent, some way outside the medina walls away from the hustle of the vibrant smells and sights within the heart of Marrakech. It was gifted to the city by Yves Saint Laurent. Him and his partner Pierre Bergé

Not only do B+W offer the most delightful open top sandwiches, but they serve some of the finest coffee available in Kentish Town. If you like the sound of halloumi, salmon or tofu paired with perfectly served eggs with fresh-cut avocado bringing together the flavours then B+W might possib

Part one of this adventure can be found here. Now you might imagine a night in the desert to be filled with all sort of creepy insects but in matter of fact we hardly came across any wildlife. The most we probably saw was a couple of cats, one called “Shakira”, and a dog that mostly kept himself to himself. I did however wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of something moving around on what sounded like the top of our tent, so somehow managing to put my mind at ea

A morning of travelling saw us united with a group of fellow tourists as we made our way into the Sahara to spend a night under the stars. Mostly made up of Spanish speakers, Australians and Brits our group led by driver Mohammed, began the 8 hour journey into the desert. Taking us through the Atlas Mountains, a range that stretches around 2,500 km through Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, the roads wrapped the mountain edges with drops thousands of feet deep either side of the r

We’ve all had that moment, when you’ve just completed the same daily routine for the thousandth time. I’m also guessing that you’ve already tried to spice things up by changing your normal route or eating spiced avocado for your breakfast? But for some reason it’s still just not cutting it for you. Which brings you back to that question: “Why can’t I just escape and leave this all behind?”. You’ve probably sat there for a few minutes trying to work it all out in your head, in

Capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg , Luxembourg City lies in the very heart of Western Europe. Ranked in the top 20 of the Mercer Quality of Living index primarily for its personal safety record and quality of life, Luxembourg offers the perfect short city naturalistic escape. The city centre occupies a picturesque site on a salient, perched high on precipitous cliffs that drop into the narrow valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, whose confluence is in City. Its

I love nothing more than finding a coffee place that excites me. Etno Café is rapidly expanding in Wrocław and further afield across Poland offering everything you would want from a coffee-house. It has the quirky new era minimalistic interior, the selection of coffee brewing methods to suit your needs and of course the perfect lunch or snack all freshly made within store. The first time I came across Etno was a chance encounter with  its smaller kiosk store location at Pl. T

Just a short walk from Wrocław’s Main Square you can find this oasis of pink tranquility. Nanan’s entrance is low-key and perhaps almost disguised, from looking in on the outside you would think that you are passing by an upscale market boutique. Once you step up to the door however, pushing it open you are greeted warmly by its elegant plush pink wall coverings and mirrored interior. The staff instantly welcome you in a way that leads you helplessly into a broad smile, a smi

Till next time Wrocław If you’ve been following my posts over the past week you would have now already guessed that I’m obsessed with a good cup of coffee. So you can imagine to my delight that our morning was to be started with me and Filip taking his nan and sister to our favourite coffee spot, Etno Café. With us all bundled up protected from the cold, we snaked our way through the city centre on one of the many blue trams that often line the streets. Then in the presence o

Polanica-Zdrój was todays destination, 55miles south-west of Wroclaw, Kłodzko County – Lower Silesian Voivodeship. Our friend, Martyna is currently on an athletics camp training for the upcoming nationals, her parents who also have friends near by to Polanica kindly offered to take us there for the day so we could spend time with Martyna before we head back to England on Tuesday morning. The drive towards Polanica brought us many green views of the polish countryside, passing
