Last year I wrote about my 2016 trip to Atlanta where I spent the weekend (courtesy of the fantastic Atlanta Movie Tours) enjoying all things The Walking Dead, visiting locations, meeting extras, watching episodes, posing with walkers…that kind of thing. In fact, I loved it all so much that I went back. And did all the… Read More Atlanta – The Walking Dead Tours (Again)
After a few underwhelming days in Venice I flew to Dubrovnik to hopefully improve my holiday and to soak up some more Game of Thrones locations. Dubrovnik featured as the fictional capital King’s Landing from Season 2 onwards and although some key scenes had the help of some nifty CGI, the city is as beautiful… Read More Dubrovnik – A Game of Thrones trip to King’s Landing
My main reason for visiting Morocco was to take a trip into the Sahara, so Marrakech seemed an ideal starting point and an interesting city to explore. I sought plenty of advice before booking accommodation or excursions, particularly from solo female traveller blogs, so I knew Morocco might bring some challenges. I had been advised… Read More Morocco
There’s no denying that Venice is one of the most beautiful cities you could visit, and that’s why I’ve chosen to post some of my photos here. My experience there was less than inspiring for many reasons, but in hindsight, looking through the pictures I took there, I’ve come to appreciate how good looking the… Read More Venice
I was on the fence about going to this event for months, but I recently fell back into a Walking Dead spiral so the decision was made in typical “fuck it” style. Most signing events I go to are held in soulless expo halls but this was in a University, offering an abundance of loos,… Read More Wales Comic Con
Until a couple of years ago I couldn’t have placed Cartagena on a map, but then I discovered it in a video game and researched it and stared at photos of it and, like a dozen other places I’ve been drawn to, knew I had to go and see it for myself. I’d never been… Read More Cartagena
A binge-rewatch of The Walking Dead last spring confirmed how much I really loved the show, so during the summer holidays a Michigan-based friend of mine and I agreed to meet up in Atlanta to do some of the locations tours. I hadn’t been to Atlanta since 2003, when I spent 45 miserable minutes at… Read More The Walking Dead Tours
My love affair with Breaking Bad is known to most of my friends – perhaps I’ll do a post about how deep that love affair goes – and one of the effects of it is a love for Bryan Cranston. In May 2014 I flew to Broadway to see him on stage in All The… Read More An Evening With Bryan Cranston
I spent several years attending nearly every event I could – Collectormania, Memorabilia, London Expo, Starfury, London Film and Comic Con – but now I’m a LOT more selective with where my money and miles take me – it’s quality over quantity. Flying to MCM Dublin for a day is easy and relatively stress-free, and… Read More Uncharted – MCM Dublin 2017
A few weeks before HBO aired Season 4 of Game of Thrones in 2014, I gave in to peer pressure and started to watch it. Mainlined 3 seasons in no time at all, fell hook, line and sinker for the damn show, and within a few weeks I’d booked a flight to Belfast to see… Read More HBO Game of Thrones Exhibition
