Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, was never on my radar. Of course I knew Lithuania was a country but I couldn't have told you the capital or anything about the country at all, I couldn't even point it out on a map. But I want to see the world, I want to have visited every country at least once, eventually, so when I was planning my multi city, multi country trip and knew I … [Read more...]
Spending a day in Riga, Latvia
Whenever I said I was going to Riga to someone I knew they either reacted with 'where!?' or 'why?'. Where, the capital of Latvia and why, because I want to see the world and I'm starting with working my way around Europe as its cheap and easy to fit in with my limited annual leave. I'd heard good things about the city and when I realised I could do flights and accommodation for … [Read more...]
Planning a trip on a budget
Planning a trip, for me, can vary between loads of fun and really stressful, depending on where I’m going. I always follow the same steps when planning a trip on a budget, though, and thought that whilst I’m spending time planning my next one I’ll share my methods on Inside Laura’s Head. When you're planning a trip on a budget, look for cheap flights first I'm asked a … [Read more...]
Spending a day in the Lake District, England
I'm from Leeds, but other than going for a reason (Go Ape in Grizedale) I've never been to the Lake District. I'd booked a couple of days holiday with my best friend so off we went. We were there for two days but could definitely have fit more in than we did. I've merged everything into one post as that made the most sense. Here's what we got up to spending a day in the Lake … [Read more...]
Spending a day in Brussels, Belgium
The Airports Arriving in Brussels wasn't the easiest, if I'm honest. The city has two airports but all of the flights from airports near me arrived into Charleroi. The main airport, Brussels, has a train into the city taking approximately 17 minutes. Charleroi is much further out and there's no public transport. Your options are to book the shuttle bus with Flibco, … [Read more...]
Spending a day in Ghent, Belgium
When you mention Belgium, for most of us there are a few cities that spring to mind. There's the capital, Brussels, where the EU is based. Bruges, with it's many canals and pretty little squares. Antwerp and it's fashion scene, and Ghent. I'd booked flights to and from Brussels and intended to spend my full weekend there, but then people started to tell me Ghent was a far … [Read more...]
Talking 2022 travel worry
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I really miss the good old days of blogging, where people would post about their specialist subject (or lots of subjects if they were more of a lifestyle blogger) and would then post chatty, catch up with my life sort of posts in between. I loved those more personal insights into someone's life and what they'd been up to, how they were … [Read more...]
2022 for Inside Laura’s Head
It's been a hot minute since I could say I was actively blogging, hasn't it! The pandemic, and then the last year, haven't been very kind to me and as well as not travelling, my mental health has suffered due to some work stuff. Things are a lot better now thanks to some changes I needed to make and after two weeks of really starting 2022 with a bang, I realised I wanted to … [Read more...]
AD Recording My Travels
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is really struggling with not being able to travel during the pandemic. I've exhausted anywhere interesting within walking distance of my house and I am desperate to get on a plane and feel the excitement of landing in a brand new city. Obviously, that's not going to be happening for a good while yet (I'm hopeful that by the summer we can … [Read more...]
Narcissist’s Red Flags-My Experience
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, I personally get a lot of comfort from sharing, like I do from reading others' experiences … [Read more...]
2021 Goals
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 do the things we love, at some point this year. With that in mind, I wanted to talk about how my 2020 went in terms of the … [Read more...]
48 Hours In Prague
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 visit Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava before flying home) and I had that the flights … [Read more...]
