A museum dedicated to penis’ – known more scientifically as phallus’: A Phallological Museum.
Yes, this place exists, and it lives in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Being in that same city, and with my boyfriend and I’s combined maturity age probably not even reaching my physical age of 26, we of course had to visit.
Reykjavik is one of the most beautiful and cosy – or to steal a term from the Danes, Hyggeligt – cities I’ve visited.
From the main streets lined with traditional lamp posts, strung together with pretty ropes of fairy lights following the Scandinavian-style buildings in a row, to the more secluded areas just a few blocks back from the main hub, decorated with greenery and flowers next to a frozen pond, to the cosy interiors of the cafes and bars along the city’s streets, there is plenty to admire from an aesthetic point of view in Reykjavik.
It’s all of these things which make Iceland’s capital such a snug place to be. It feels homely, almost – which is a rather large feat for a capital city.
I’m just going to start out by saying that before my visit, I didn’t know much else about Liverpool other than the fact that it was the home of The Beatles.
And I’m going to continue by saying that even now, following my visit, that’s still pretty much all I know.
Oh, and it has a really pretty waterfront area where there’s lots of food and entertainment happening.
So, there’s that too, I guess.

The time had finally come: The time when I was set to box up my life and head off into the unknown to forge a new life on the opposite side of the world had finally arrived after months of planning.
My bags were packed, my goodbyes had been said, and my heart and head were both full of a wide range of emotions: Excitement, nervousness, happiness, and terror.
Sydney may be 1000km away, but it’s only an 1.5hr flight away from my nearest airport, Ballina.
So luckily, on Sunday I was able to visit Sydney for the day to see one of my close friends, Rachel, who recently moved there.
Ballina is, without a doubt, one of the best spots along the east coast of Australia.
And no, I’m not just biased because I grew up on the Northern Rivers.
Well, maybe a little, but hear me out.
My opinion of this gorgeous, coastside town must have some weight to it, as every year people come from all over to holiday here, while seniors in their thousands have set up permanent camp here in their retirement.
It’s a pretty nice place, let’s just say that.
Although I try to live my life without regrets, I do have a few when it comes to travel.
“Why?” You ask. “How could someone possibly regret travel?”
Well that’s just it – I don’t regret travel itself, but there are a few travel experiences I’ve had which I now wish I hadn’t.
Let me explain:

I can show you the world,
Shining, shimmering, splendid,
Tell me princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes,
Take you wonder by wonder….
What a magnificent world Disney takes us too – when we pop on a film, listen to a Disney song, or engross ourselves some other way in the stories of the characters of Disney.
What fun it was then, when I got the chance to indulge my inner child (Basically still 25-year-old me anyway) with a visit to Disneyland Hong Kong!

Apart from the city sights of Hong Kong, which are not to be missed, there is also a part of Hong Kong that allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the massive metropolis.
To the northwest of the main part of Hong Kong (Hong Kong Island and Kowloon), lies Lantau Island.
Many people know Lantau Island as the home of Disneyland Hong Kong, but there are some other attractions of the Island too – namely, the Cable Car and Big Buddha.

As Macau is so easily accessible from Hong Kong, it’s often on the list of ‘things to do’ for many travellers.
I’d heard all these stories about the beautiful old buildings and structures in this city which feels like a throwback to colonial times, and so I thought I must visit too.
I’m going to be honest: I ended up feeling neither here or there on the topic.
Yes, some of the buildings in Macau were pretty, and I got to see some historic landmarks, but apart from that we just walked around in the stifling heat.
I guess if we were into Casinos and high-end shopping we might have been more taken with Macau, but I kind of left feeling like the day could have been better spent.
