The Beautiful and Breathtaking .... Stonehenge!

Hello guys, as I mentioned before I was (I AM!) kind of obsessed about England and the UK in genereal since God knows when, I've always wanted to go to this stunning place called Stonehenge.
Situated in Wiltshire, England, this prehistoric monument is one of the most famous touristical destination in the world.

What is it?
It consist of a circle of standing stones. It is believe that this was built anywhere from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.

 Entry sign (Uhhh intersting huh?)


How to get there?
There's a variaty of options to get to the Stonehenge, personally I took a bus who took us to the monument. I'm not a local and I don't drive in London, but I'd recommend to go by car, it would be more comfortable, anyway If you can't another good option is to take a bus at Victoria Station in London and that will do.

Price: 18.00


Lambs ! (I love lambs! They are too cute!) 

Beautiful - Stonehenge!


You can't approach into the stones, so you would be able to take pictures from a considerable distance. Although I know that you would be able to pass through the barriers during the summer solstice (20 - 21th June) I have never been there at that time but I think it would be worth it, there are thousands of people, playing instruments, dancing, etc. it's actually a summer festival, so if you can go ! I really really recommend you guys to go there, specially if you are into history, like to see this kind of monuments and do all kinds of touristy stuff.

Hope this post was usefull! x

Walking around Big Ben & London Eye | London Trip

Hello fellas! 
I haven't write in a while but I actually just had the most amazing 3 months of my life. In January 1st I moved to London for few months and I was able to walk around and visit the most beautiful places in the world.
I've always been in love with this city, with the whole country actually and I could never imagine that, someday I'd be able to travel there and watch those amazing views!
Anyways, I'll start this with a MUST SEE of this city; there is NO WAY you could not go there; of course I'm talking about Big Ben and The London Eye. 
These well-known sightseeing are located in the center of London, walking by The Queen’s walk (a pedestrian walkway that will take ya through the most famous sightseeing and attractions of the city) in the Westminster Underground station and 5 min. walking from Waterloo Underground Station.

The London Eye is a ferris wheel located right next to the River Thames, is one (if no the most) popular tourist atraction in the United Kingdom; it's a half an hour round and the tickets cost aroun 17 pounds.

Right in front of it you will be able to walk around the Palace of Westminster which is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords (the Houses of Parliament), in the corner you will see the iconic clock tower of the parliament, Big Ben.

The most frequent question we usually ask is when can you get the most amazing views at night or during the day? I actually don’t know but I prefer during the day, just love it. A good recommendation to the ones that are going to London is to investigate and read about the places that you’d like to visit and if can make a list of them, it will safe ya time what I think every tourist has to do is to optimize the time you have in each place you visit, so read, investigate and enjoy!
