Maslenitsa - Winter Waves Goodbye
Celebrating the end of Winter the Russian way in London’s Trafalgar Square.
Winter in Russia and its neighbouring countries is a cold, long, drawn-out affair. Temperatures typically struggle at around the minus 10 to 20 mark for a good three to four months. No amount of big, fluffy siberian hats can help keep the chill at bay. So naturally, once March arrives, Russians, Belorussians...

assassincity asked: is travel photography your career or just something you love to do? :)
untanglehana asked: Hello. (: I stumbled across this blog while looking London photos. I'm traveling there over the summer from where I live in Chicago, and it will be my first time going on a trip (or anywhere, really) by myself. I've been nervous about being alone and being lonely, but seeing your blog makes me feel better. I guess the only question I have is, where was the first place you traveled on...

My ABC Of Travel
I subscribe to a lot of great travel blogs. Lately, a few of them have participated in a cool travel-related meme which recalls travel experiences via the magic of the alphabet. So, I thought I’d have a go too. This’ll be the first meme I’ve ever participated in. I know, shocking!
A: Age you went on your first international trip
I was probably around 8 or 9 years old. We used...

Eating Out: L’As du Fallafel, Paris, France
Last weekend, I was in Paris, France. What with a direct train connection from my hometown to London St. Pancras International station and an onward connection by Eurostar to central Paris, it’s really easy for me to get a short ‘fix of français’ whenever I need it.
I arrived at lunchtime at Gare du Nord. Naturally, I was hungry (I always am, but I’m particularly so...

Hyvää Joulua! - Finnish Church of London Christmas...
My campaign of immersing myself in the culture of other nations continued at the weekend with a visit to an early Christmas Fair at the Finnish Church of London (or, Lontoon Suomalainen Kirkko, to call it by its awesome Finnish name). There was no hiding the fact that this was a money-making scheme. You could tell by browsing the large supermarket they had set up in the church itself. A medium...

In Pictures: Occupy London Stock Exchange
“We expect political democracy. Why not economic democracy too?”
I’m keen to avoid getting too political in this post, particularly as I don’t feel I’m terribly clued up about what the Occupy movement is all about and thus, airing my views about economic equality isn’t going to be useful to anyone. So, I simply present these photos as a way of documenting my...
