Stratford-Upon-Avon





I may not know much about Shakespeare but I do not quit understand my love for him.As a romanticist I have grown up reading a few of his books which had been such an inspiration regardless of the Elizabethan English.After discovering Stratford-Upon-Avon it became of my favorite places in England that I would not mind visiting over and over again.This market town is the home to the Royal Shakespeare Company which resides in the cultural Royal Shakespeare theater.
 Stratford is blessed with a scenic riverside view from River Avon and the town is full of life and so much adventure from visiting the burial place of the great Shakespeare to the shopping village and garden beers you can never miss something to do.Its not a busy urban town per-say yet the busy life of the local community makes it homely and less stressful.
In all my travels I would like to be able to visit Stratford again and may be this time stay a little longer in order to venture and learn more about the history of this magnificent town ,from its structure to its name.

Europe Getaway:Turkey

Hi Munchkins .Hope you all doing well this fine week.For me it's just been crazy planning for my trip to Turkey.Of all places to start a Euro trip Ha! This is because it was a spur of the moment kind of thing plus the build up of boredom in Coventry was so bad I couldn't handle starting school without taking an away holiday before my summer ends.

Planning for trips whether a neighboring country or an overseas country needs a budget and from a student perspective you need to get more out of the trip than for accommodation and food but do  not get me wrong  that you shouldn't splurge but if you can afford it go for it and another keep point is try going with a friend or in a group in order to cut some costs down and also have company because you never know what can go wrong or even perfectly right with them being around.

Another thing is always research about the place your going to if multiple cities how you can move about with accessible and affordable means of transport and try as much as possible to ask for directions or even find a tourist information centre .TripAdvisor is one awesome app that can help you plan your trip and I can swear by it since I have used it to travel a lot.

Liverpool Getaway

Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! What can I say .....sigh! This was the shortest stay I have ever  had but it was worth it from the vast museums to the large shopping area and the massive sales was like giving candy to a baby, I had to have my sister hold me back from shopping before I turned to Shopzilla.From the tour buses to the boat rides and the Ferris wheel ride which was horrific because am scared of heights but I can proudly say that my trip was not even at once disappointing.The people where friendly as well as very helpful though the English dialect was a bit difficult to understand.Such big cities are worth the trip and would recommend to make use of the tour buses since they tell the story of the city in detail.The trip was more enjoyable due to having the best road trip companion with me on the road i.e... my sister.Thanks sis

Manchester Getaway

Hi Munchkins,
So I finally visit my sister after dreading it for months now.In my mind the whole mapping of Manchester was dull and not fun but once i got off the train from the station to the bus to the  house I felt like I was in a magical place .From the Victorian décor on the builds to the bridges,museums and the street art was breath taking.Nothing I write or say will express the beauty but hope my pictures do.
