A brief run through of my experiences in various different cities/places.
Copenhagen: July ‘24
Our trip to Copenhagen was booked to be a flying visit (yes we flew over, no, this wasn’t an intentional pun), as we intended on spending 2 days there over a bank holiday weekend.

Slovakia’s second city is a fantastic location for a chilled, inexpensive getaway.

Ajaccio: August ‘22
A snapshot view of my trip to Ajaccio, but it left an impact on me, I‘d love to return to Corsica
