Roam the world, record the moments, relive the memories!
Greece is one of the first countries to allow tourists back in following the Covid-19 pandemic. Are you thinking about visiting and looking for a hotel in Athens which offers a first-class service and has the most incredible views of the city? Located right near the Acropolis and Temple of Zeus, the luxurious Athens Gate Hotel is the perfect place to stay in the city.
I had the pleasure of staying here during my week in Athens earlier this year – from my spacious suite to the delicious food, from the breathtaking roof terrace views to the impeccable staff service – check out my review of the hotel!
It’s yet another day and week of being stuck indoors, with Covid-19 restricting both national and international travel. Do you miss exploring the world around you?
Don’t worry! Whether you’re after a bustling city atmosphere or a relaxing beach setting, here’s five live webcams through which you can keep your tourist mode on, all from the comfort of your own home.
It’s always a good idea to have a travel itinerary for any adventure. Having an itinerary means you won’t be spending hours in your hotel room trying to think about what to do for the day, as everything would have been planned in advance.
I often get asked how I plan my trips – including how I manage to fit in visiting lots of places into a day, to how I choose restaurants and modes of transport.
For any adventure abroad, I always create a travel itinerary to ensure I visit the best places and maximise the amount of time whilst on holiday. In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to create the perfect itinerary, with a recent example I did for Toronto, so you can make the most of your future city breaks!
It’s been a difficult few weeks for all of us due to the coronavirus pandemic. We are unable to travel and are homebound for the foreseeable future. Don’t worry though – to brighten your mood, in my next series of blog posts, I’m going to inspire you on how to keep your wanderlust alive from the comfort of your own home.
In today’s blog post, I share with you the top five ways to fuel your wanderlust at home…
For my first adventure of the decade, I visited Athens and without a doubt, it exceeded my expectations! This city is filled with centuries of ancient history and colourful neighbourhoods, coupled with iconic sights, incredible views and breathtaking sunsets. It is one of the oldest cities in the world with a history that goes back over 3,000 years. The Greek capital is the perfect European destination for the gram, so look no further as I share with you the most Instagrammable spots in Athens!
Mount Fuji is a place you must visit at least once in your lifetime. It’s one of the most breathtaking sites you will ever see. The perfectly shaped volcano is the highest mountain in Japan and is the sacred symbol of the country. Located only two and a half hours away from Tokyo, a day trip is perfect to take in the beauty of Fuji.
In this blog, I’ll share my itinerary with you to help you make the most of your trip!
It’s Valentine’s Day! So what better day to share my next blog on the place I love most, than today?! Dubai is my favourite city – I’ve been four times and every time it feels so different to the last! With skyscrapers emerging from the golden sands of the Arabian Desert to becoming one of the most glamourous and futuristic cities, Dubai has it all. Here’s the top 10 reasons why I love this city!
After Christmas and New Year, the next thing I always look forward to is the deLIGHTful Canary Wharf Winter Lights display!
January saw the return of the award-winning displays for the sixth year. This year was the busiest it’s ever been, with thousands of people going to see the 25 dazzling installations.
London always knows how to ring in a new year in style. Since I was little, I’ve always watched London’s dazzling fireworks display on TV – it’s the best in the world – but I’ve never been able to go and see them in person…until this year.
2020 is a big year. It’s a new decade. So if there was any year I went to see the fireworks from the prime spot right opposite the London Eye, it had to be this year. And I am so glad I did!
Welcome to the launch of Roam with Rakhee and to my first blog post! My name is Rakhee and as the name suggests, I love to roam! I live in London and since the age of 8, I’ve had a sense of wanderlust, so you’ll probably find me being a tourist in my own city, on a plane, or in a country somewhere in the world.
My favourite subject at school and college was Geography and then I went on to pursue this at degree level – it meant I learnt about the world around me and could travel as part of my studies including to New York and Hong Kong for my undergraduate dissertation.
I am now 24 and have visited 28 countries so far – the aim is to keep the number of countries I’ve travelled to higher than my age!
