Sydney at night

Some photos of this fantastic city at night.

Melbourne Yarra River

A short photo tour from the south side of the Yarra River that runs through the centre of Melbourne. The riverside is full of great restaurants, picnic spots and some cool street art. My favourite part of the riverside was the Sandridge Bridge, a renovated railway bridge. It has ten sculptures on it, entitled The […]

Sydney at sunset

I don’t think I’ve been to a more gorgeous city. A few shots at sunset.

Everybody needs good neighbours…

If you don’t know every word to the following video don’t bother reading on. Day one in Australia and what do you do? Hit the Official Neighbours Tour of course! I have to admit that I haven’t watched the show for a few years, but I still wanted to see where all the classic moments […]

Happy – Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan

Five things you must do in Barcelona

Boy George, Sting and Phil Collins wasn’t exactly the music I was thinking of when I booked a trip to Barcelona for some winter sun in January, but this was what was blasting out of the taxi’s radio as we were taken from the airport to our hotel in the Gothic District of Barcelona. For a […]

I love Ghana because…

One of my favourite projects in the summer was, with a lot of help from Coco, meeting people and asking what is was about Ghana that they loved so much.

Why I’m proud of LSE students

Since Monday, LSE students have completed a run with GoodGym, helping out at Camley Street Natural Park whilst getting fit. They raised almost £350 […]

Sunny St Ives

Seeing from the train down that Cornwall was pretty much part of the Atlantic now and with the weather experts promising more storms I wasn’t optimistic about about surviving a day at St Ives without getting drenched. However, as soon as the train pulled in to the little station the sun came out, and stayed […]

Going up The Shard

The Shard; a proud monument showcasing the best of British or London’s ugliest building ruining the capital’s skyline? I’m not sure which opinion I take but I was excited to see the view from the 69th floor viewing platform. Luckily we had a break with the weather and were treated to some stunning views. We […]
