Experiences With My Narcissist Ex

Narcissist’s Red Flags-My Experience

January 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

I never intended to write about my Narcissist ex, I, on this blog. But I wrote about realising my relationship was a lie, and about dealing with a narcissist, and the majority of my blog views are currently coming to those posts. There’s clearly a need for more of us to share our stories, IRead More

2021 Goals

January 1, 2021 Leave a Comment

I wrote about my 2020 goals this time last year (I mean, that went so well for all of us, right?) I’m hoping, as I’m sure we all are, that 2021 is going to look a bit more ‘normal’ and we’re going to have the freedom to safely get out and about again and doRead More

48 Hours In Prague

November 16, 2020 Leave a Comment

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, seems to be a popular Stag/Hen destination, and when you mention the city people seem to either talk about Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock, or the Beer. The city has been on my list for a while (I intended to spend 48 hours in Prague and then visitRead More

AD Dating With Fibromyalgia

November 10, 2020 Leave a Comment

Dating, as most of us know, is bloody difficult. It’s even more difficult during a pandemic, throw in dating with a disability and life is harder than normal. I have a chronic illness and I’ve talked previously about travelling with Fibromyalgia, and as none of us are doing much travelling at the moment my thoughtsRead More

Travelling During A Pandemic

November 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

I’ve had a lot of questions about what it was like to fly, and be in other countries, during the pandemic, and I’ve not seen many people post about it, so I thought I would. It’s also going to be a massive part of our history and it will be interesting to look back inRead More

24 Hours In Vienna

November 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Unlike some of my trips, I hadn’t planned this one until I arrived in Austria. Spending time in Vienna had been on my list for forever, in fact I was meant to do Prague, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest in June before COVID-19 cancelled my trip, and until the last possible moment I was convinced thisRead More

When A Travel Blogger Can’t Travel

November 2, 2020 Leave a Comment

As travel goes, I’ve been pretty slack the past couple of years. I did Hamburg, Copenhagen and Stockholm over 8 days in February 2019, and then I did Porto in May 2019, mostly because I’d already booked and paid for it before I started seeing my ex. But due to prioritising seeing him, and payingRead More

Spending A Day In Bath

September 8, 2020 Comments : 3

The drive from Salisbury to Bath, about 40 miles and just over an hour, was a beautiful one. Long country roads, beautiful scenery and lots of pretty cottages to drive past was a lovely way to start the morning. In all honesty, that felt like a nice thing to do in itself. When we droveRead More

Spending A Day In Salisbury

September 1, 2020 Comment : 1

As I live in Yorkshire, and I tend to prefer European City breaks, I’ve never spent a lot of time in South West England. But recently I went to pick my friend and her belongings up from Salisbury as she’s moved back to Yorkshire, and decided to spend a day in Salisbury whilst I wasRead More

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I'm Laura, a 33 year old Yorkshire girl aiming to see as much of the world as I can, usually by myself. I'm a big fan of animal print, bright lipstick, gin liqueurs, cocktails, photography, writing and booking flights. I'm in love with a Lhasapoo called Buster and if I don't have my phone, laptop or a camera in my hand, you probably need to ask if I'm feeling okay. I blog about short city breaks, usually solo, on a budget without a hostel in sight. I also cover food reviews, life with Fibromyalgia, and there's a bit of lifestyle content thrown in when the mood takes me. I'm aiming to have visited 40 different countries before I turn 40, so I have 7 years left. Coronavirus has slightly changed my plans for 2020 but so far I'm 17 countries into the challenge and as long as September and October remain safe to travel I'm adding Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Serbia and a couple of others to the list before this year ends. I love working with brands on sponsored/collaborative content and if you're a travel or food related company, or just someone you think I'll love, please do get in touch.

I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog a I absolutely haven't taken Instagram or the blog all that seriously in 2020 and barely posted on either. That's fine, obviously, but I miss both, so for 2021 I want to be back to daily Instagram posts, finding people to follow that bring me joy, learning the best hashtags to use and trying to make a bit of progress on here. Hoping I'll get a fair bit of travel in in the second half of the year to help with this too. Happy New Year, Instagram!
Walking quickly out of 2020... This year has been Walking quickly out of 2020...

This year has been a bloody weird one hasn't it. Not just with the Pandemic, although obviously that's been a big part of it, but dealing with the hangover from a breakup, trying to make my new house a home, maintaining friendships when I can't see anyone and I'm not good on Zoom, and A LOT of overtime at work. Work has been going really well though and I'm excited to see what 2021 brings me there. I do know that I miss properly using Instagram, and writing on Inside Laura's Head, and I'm currently writing my 2021 goals post as we speak. What are you looking forward to in 2021?
Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has becom Vienna, after only 24 hours in the city, has become one of those 'I really need to go back to....' places on my travel list. On Thursday I posted over on the blog about what I did during my day in the city, I wasn't sure whether to post this so close to the horrible events they've had this week but actually, I think sharing how amazing the city is is a very positive thing. Link to the post is, as ever, in my bio, if you want to go and have a read
I've spent today working overtime and listening to I've spent today working overtime and listening to a new audiobook, 'The Year Of Living Danishly' by @mshelenrussell. Ive finished it in a day, loved it and want to go back to Copenhagen now as well as exploring more of Denmark. But for now, I will stay at home, be sensible, and add Denmark to my plan for if things work out for next year. 📷: @fordtography

I've been home from my trip for 48 hours now and I I've been home from my trip for 48 hours now and I've got that never been away feeling, as well as over 300 photos to edit and at least 6 blog posts to write. I wasnt sure how I'd feel about Vienna and I only had a day there but it turns out it's a city I'll definitely return to, as there's so much more I want to see now. Have you been? 📷: @loras.clicks.photography
My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I My last stop in Vienna (maybe, depending on how I feel in the morning!) was St Stephens Cathedral where I tried Chimney Cake (yum) and Schnitzel (meh) before heading back to my apartment and collapsing onto the sofa. Tomorrow I have an hour ish to the train, 4 hours on the train, a 2 hour flight then an hours drive home, after maybe 30 mins to get to my car. I suspect Monday is going to be a flare and a half 😑
Prague, its been a warm one, but I've had a lovely Prague, its been a warm one, but I've had a lovely couple of days exploring! Never did make it to Prague Castle but its somewhere behind me 🤣 I wasn't sure whether or not to come abroad on my week off, and I only booked this on Friday to fly on Tuesday, but it's doing me the world of good, I have two days in Vienna to go before I fly home, and of course I'm taking the relevant precautions and will be isolating when home. Its so quiet here though which helps ❤️
