A couple weeks ago we headed to Switzerland, a trip we had actually book last August, as we bought tickets to go see The Divine Comedy. Now I get that most people are like, “why would you have to go to another country to see a band?” and the reality was that we didn’t. We actually saw them in Sheffield, a city really close to us in the fall, but since they are one of Adam’s favourite bands, he had a look at what cities they were playing on their Europe part of their tour. Lausanne, Switzerland just happened to be a lucky day to fall on a Saturday and not have super expensive plane tickets. So that’s how we found ourselves staying along Lake Geneva in the middle of February.CONTINUE READING

Adventures In :: Amsterdam in January
Well, it’s been over a month because I’ve been busy adventuring in-between working. We went to Amsterdam the end of January for my birthday and let’s just say I needed a vacation from my vacation as we drank and ate all of the things. So all in all a perfect long weekend with friends.CONTINUE READING
Adventures In :: Copenhagen – Rosenborg Castle
Copenhagen surprised me, again and again. With not knowing what to expect, I was rewarded with interesting architecture, colourful buildings, everything within walking distance, and a castle in a park right near the city centre. I’d never heard of Rosenborg Castle, and if we didn’t stumble upon the royal palace we might not have visited. I’m so glad we had time to go because it was one of my favourite things we did.CONTINUE READING
Adventures In :: Copenhagen
The good thing about now knowing that much about Copenhagen before we went meant that we didn’t plan much, and mainly wandered around the city. I could happily just hang out in Copenhagen any time, ducking in for coffee and an open faced sandwich every now and again. It’s just one of those really nice cities to walk around. It’s pretty compact, meaning you’re normally only about 30-45 minutes walk away from where you want to go. As we stayed right next to the train station, we had a great base to start from every day.CONTINUE READING
Adventures In :: Copenhagen – Seeing the City By Boat
When we visited Copenhagen, I didn’t really know much about the city other than everyone who had been loved it. Good enough for me! Whenever we travel and there’s an option to take a boat tour, we take one. In the case of Amsterdam we’ve been twice. I will never not want to go on a boat. So after a day of wandering and sore feet, we hopped on the last tour boat of the day to see Copenhagen from the water. CONTINUE READING
