Oi from Lisbon
Last weekend I went to Lisbon. I admit there’s a bit of history between me and the city, you could say an unrequited love. Much like a youthful love, I opened my heart to this country and all I wanted was to be loved in return. But unfortunately, life is not…

Food I Ate In Japan and Where to Find it in London
My 2½ weeks in Japan were stuffed full with wonderful places, incredible history and delicious food. Today we’re talking food. Food! Food so good even now I look back, salivating, at my culinary photos and imagine the delights in front of me. Sometimes the dishes are memorable because I was…
What Did I Gain From the Minimalism Game?
31 days and 496 items (plus a few more) later, I’m finally done with one of my 21 for 2021 – the Minimalism Game. If you’re not familiar with the concept, you get rid of one thing from your house on the first day of the month, two things on…
Hæ from Reykjavik: The Golden Circle Edition
I was told I couldn’t leave Iceland without setting my eyes on its famed geyser and waterfall, so that’s where I headed to the other day. If you don’t have a driving licence (or a friendly Icelander with a car) you are pretty much screwed and the bus tour is…
Look At All These Places I Won’t Go To In 2016
Today is the day for the list with places I want to go to next year, but probably won’t because it’s either dangerous, way too expensive or for some reason an unrealistic destination. Out of all Indonesian islands Java had always at the top of my to-go list. I would…

Love this post!!! I have to agree with number one “seeing the sunrise,” that is always a special, important experience for me wherever I travel… it grounds you and helps you realize however different or foreign the place we find ourselves in the familiarity of dawn and the beginning of a new day affects us all.
I also love hearing other travelers’ stories…those forever will be some of my best memories abroad.

Great list! Good reminder that sometimes the little things make a world of a difference.
This reminds me so much when we went backpacking on Southeast Asia! How I miss traveling!
Travel sure makes one feel grateful for the little things, huh?
It’s JPei
And it also makes the little things grateful for travel 😀
Love the feeling of getting off the plane!
I love this idea. It’s so true. Travel itself is such a magical experience. You have to remember all the little moments. A night alone in a 12 bed hostel is a luxury! :] // itsCarmen.com ☼ ☯
you are right the best things in travel are free
Gaining a beautiful sunrise oh yes, I normally photograph these. An upgrade on a flight never managed it but well done, on a ten hour flight even better. I flew on my birthday and still it didn’t happen. Enjoyed reading this post Lucy x
Such a great list! All these things are awesome, expecially the snore free hostel room!
Ah man this makes me want to go travelling so bad. Great post, as always. xx

Yup! Ironically, travel showed me how to enjoy the little, free things in life, and how to cherish moments we often take for granted while at home. Great post.
