City & Away

TRAVEL · CITY NOTES

Go somewhere.

Solo travel without pretending every minute is cinematic: realistic itineraries, budgets, shopping, food, what was worth it and what I would absolutely skip next time.

Travel, edited

The London Diaries

The first big chapter: five days in London, on my own terms — the itinerary, spending, shopping and everything I learned.

The Practical Guide

Where I stayed, how I moved around, reservations, timing and the little logistics that make or break a trip.

What I Spent

Real numbers, where I splurged, where I saved and whether I would pay for it again.

The Shopping Notes

Bookshops, gifts, luggage space and the purchases that made it home.
