Road tripping the French Riviera
posted by Glamourous Traveller
It was going to be my first time there. I don’t know why, but I was so excited. When you think about it though, there were so many other places, which could have more impact on me. Places with ‘real’ highlights, historical churches, coliseums, museums with incredible art for me to wonder hours on end. […]

Getting the best for less: Vienna, Austria
posted by Glamourous Traveller
What do you think of when you think about Vienna? Old world charm? A grand ballroom? Voices of angels down from the sky? Horses dancing? What if I told you you can get all of that, but for a fraction of the price! Old world ballroom dancing I wrote here about my experience […]

Prague In a Nutshell
posted by Glamourous Traveller
Around the time my boyfriend and I started dating, I had already planned a trip to Prague. “Go” he tells me, in his delicious French accent. And then proceeded to describe the great romance of the Charles Bridge, the winding alleyways. I was sold. I was excited to go. Until I found out I was […]

posted by Glamourous Traveller
“They might close down coffee shops in Amsterdam” my Dutch colleague tells me, one month prior to my move there. “But why?” I asked, appalled by the thought that the Government had somehow decided to swoop in and take away all of Dutch’s access to caffeine. Are they not worried that it’s going to impact […]

In a nutshell – Lisbon, Portugal
posted by Glamourous Traveller
“Hey Li, do you want to come and visit me in Lisbon? My company has a training trip there, so I have a free hotel room” I jump at the opportunity, after all I was living in Amsterdam, and it wasn’t such a stretch to go. I’ve never been to Portugal after all, and I […]

The Art! The Art! – Paris, France
posted by Glamourous Traveller
Most of you would have had some form of art education by now. You would have had school trips to art museums, or maybe got a brief art history in one of your classes. Me, my education didn’t really focus on that aspect of art. We studied archeological remnants, pottery and the likes in history […]

Running the Paris half-marathon
posted by Glamourous Traveller
I was not ‘born’ a runner. I used to do sports, but it involved a lot of dancing and very little hard-core running. It wasn’t until much much much later (let’s say only about 5 years ago) that I picked up on running properly. I started by doing short runs around the park. The kind where you […]

Spring blossoms – Keukenhof Garden, Netherlands
posted by Glamourous Traveller
What symbolizes spring more than the great blossoming of flowers? If you’re a fan of tulips and are in the Netherlands, you should head down to the famous Keukenhof garden to check out the flower gardens there. From Amsterdam, you can head over on the Keukenhof shuttle bus that would pick you up from Schiphol […]

Berlin in a Nutshell
posted by Glamourous Traveller
As the weather slowly warms up (I think), it’s probably time for you to start thinking about travelling again. You may be looking for something that helps transition between the cold weather and the slowly warming up weather, so why not something that melded between the East and the West… why not head to Berlin!
