How To Travel for Cheap
Hello my wonderful readers, if you are indeed reading this you are probably planning to travel, and if you are smart, doing it as inexpensively as you possibly can. I have been travelling from when I was little, no, not like a travelling guru on Instagram, but every year or so I'd visit different overnight places, many times overseas. Whilst travelling I've learned different ways to cut the costs and spend as little as I can while getting the most out of my travelling experience. After finding myself using these ways in friend groups and family vacations, I have found that what I have learned has not even been on a person's mind before, which I found surprising because to me it was obvious. So, instead of having to explain this to everyone around me, I'd much rather create this blog so it could help everyone else around the world. Here are the TOP 5 ways to travel for cheap AND have your trip be fulfilled to the fullest.

In Search of the Northern Lights. Top Story - February 2018.
My search for the Northern Lights began back in 2014, I had seen thousands of photos in books and online, and of course, I’d watched The Snowman… duh. One of my best friends once told me that he planned on proposing to the girl of his dreams in view of the northern lights in Greenland. How romantic is that? What a beautiful and spectacular notion. Surely something magical that the both of them will always remember! I decided I must see this wonderful natural phenomenon for myself.

Why Sweden Might Be the Best Country in the World
So, Sweden. A nation of 10 million people, a fine country located in Scandinavia, known for their vast coastline, dense forest area, free tuition….oh, and their fish. Now I’m not talking “the pet goldfish your parents gave you when you were 9” or the tuna you microwaved for lunch in the staffroom today (your coworkers hate you for that, by the way, jerk move), no way, this is the real deal. I’m talking about Swedish Fish. Has there ever been a type of fish that doesn’t pale in comparison to the artificially flavoured, cavity creating deliciousness that are Swedish Fish? The answer is, of course, no. This just one example of the many things that just might make Sweden the greatest country in the world.

Carcassonne in January
When we think of the South of France, the things that often come to mind are sundresses in the sunshine, maybe a glaceby the river, at the very least the glamour of the Cannes Film Festival. However, this is not the case if, like me, you decide to visit in January.

Budapest and My Heart
I don't think we realise just how much is out there. Beyond the walls of our houses and further than the streets that wind between our local shops. I don't think we realise - though sometimes we think we might - just how spectacular this world of ours is. We forget that places are there for us to fall in love with, just as people are. And like people, these towns and cities and countries capture your heart with their brilliant personalities and the romance between person and place begins.

The Art of London
I enjoy exploring a range of different galleries and exhibitions both in and outside of London, so choosing an exhibition for this essay proved difficult. I am influenced by many styles and artists who all differ greatly from each other. However, their uniqueness is what interests me. Recently, I have been to the Saatchi Gallery, Tate Britain, and Tate Modern. All of these galleries had beautiful displays and in this essay I will be reviewing my favourite exhibitions and artists from what I saw.

Flylow Tough Guy Product Review
First off, leather gloves for snowy, winter activities? Yeah, I was skeptical too. However, they’ve been treated with water resistant treatment and baked (yes, baked!) in an actual oven to seal in the treatment.
