The London List: Sightseeing

-
Hello Wonderful People!

Summer is well and truly over, and the dark autumn nights are drawing in. Since the end of August I’ve managed to squeeze a final few activities out of the dwindling summer weeks. While some of these suggestions will have to wait for next summer, there are still events you can do all year round, so never fear!

 
SW4
This mini festival on Clapham common is great fun for a day out, if a little over priced for what's there. The weather was pretty pants this year, which was a shame, but I had a good day nevertheless with friends, music and alcohol!

Thames Jet Boat Tour
This river cruise starts off like any other. Sailing down the Thames at a leisurely pace, with a running commentary on the famous sights of London. Then.. BAM your speeding along and turning at ridiculous angles. It really is adrenaline pumping and like no other boat tour I've done before.

Holi Colour Festival
Dress in white, grab a few bags of paint, have a few bevies and dance away to the live DJs. And don’t forget, every hour, on the hour, it’s time to check your paint everywhere! This was such a fun day and I was washing paint of my clothes and body for days after. I’ll be going back next year for sure!


Hidden Rooms
My lovely housemates took me to this hidden rooms experience in North London for my birthday and it was so much fun!! The 4 of us were locked in a basement and handcuffed to each other and to the wall. We then had 1 hour to unchain ourselves and solve several puzzles to find the key to release us. Sadly, we didn’t manage to escape in time, but it was a hilarious experience!

I know at this time of year people are usually planning trips away in the sunshine; but (if you're organised) these will have been planned for quite a few months in advance. Now is actually a good time to get ahead of the crowd and be thinking about winter holidays. Summer has just arrived and the majority of people aren’t thinking of a winter holiday just yet, so it's the perfect time to book! Plus, booking early means you can usually can get amazing prices and deals. Skiing and snowboarding holidays are such fun, even if you are a beginner! They're my favourite type of holiday so are the perfect choice for a winter getaway. I would love to ski in Canada one day, so I’m sharing my love for all things Canadian today. I've been there in the summer before, but it would be a great destination choice for a winter holiday!

Hello Wonderful People! I love being a vegetarian; I've been one all my life and would never dream of changing my eating habits. However, being veggie can be a royal pain in the a hole when travelling. There are some countries that are really good for veggies and there are others that look at you with disgust when you ask if there’s a veggie option. You’d be surprised at the amount of people who have no idea what the word vegetarian means and who offer you chicken as an alternative. The last time I checked, chicken was definitely meat. So here is a list of the best and the worst countries that  I've  been to as a veggie.

Top 5 Places I Want to Revisit

Hello Wonderful People!   As a self-confessed travel addict suffering from a sever case of wanderlust, I love nothing more than exploring new places, meeting different people and seeing new things. Therefore, once I’ve visited somewhere once I like to tick it off my list and head onto the next destination. As there are so many new places to discover in the world, I don’t want to waste my time going over old ground. Despite this, there have been several places I’ve visited where I’ve completely fallen in love and would like nothing more than to go back and do a bit more exploring. I’m completely torn between jetting off somewhere new, or going back to an old favourite, it’s a tough decision. If I were to choose the latter, these are definitely the 5 places I’d love to revisit.
