With 24 hours left in Tokyo, we managed to cram in coffees and noodles in Ebisu, crossing and stationery in Shibuya, candy floss and cherry blossom in Harajuku and unlimited drinks in Shinjuku.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!!

go karting around tokyo is a REAL THING
Our first two days in Tokyo included yakitori in piss alley, maid cafes, the golden gai and even a whizz around the city that in no way resembled nintendo’s mario kart…
what’s flying with aeroflot really like?
The ‘deadliest airline in the world’ has got its act together in recent years but many are still reluctant to fly Aeroflot.
Yet at £258 for a return flight to Tokyo, we were willing to give it a go.
So, just how bad was it?
here begins the epic japan holiday vlogs!
Everyone loves to talk about how expensive Japan is and so I thought it would be a great chance to flex my money saving muscles and rustle up an epic trip of:
- 10+ nights
- A bullet train tour of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto
- A lush last night hotel stay
- Oh, and let’s throw in going at the PRICIEST time in the Japanese calendar – cherry blossom season!
First up, it’s all about the flight. AND WHAT A BARGAIN IT WAS!!!
ask a local: istanbul | best views, bars and 80p kebabs | turkey vlog
James took me Istanbul for my birthday after a dropped a few hints (along the lines of “ooh you know where I’d love you to take me for my surprise birthday trip? Turkey) so we decided to crack out our #askalocal once more.
Was slightly more difficult than NY and London on the basis that no one could bloody understand a word we were saying (I blame James’ northern tones) but we muddled through and wasn’t it worth it?! Well, being able to say you’ve visited the ‘worst club in the world’ is quite the statement, right?
If you’re interested in what Istanbul is really like (and just how ‘safe’ a place deemed as ‘high risk’ on .gov.uk can really be…) then make sure you subscribe as we’ll take you through our experiences in the next video.
new video – ask a local is back!
After Ask a Local: New York was a ROARING SUCCESS (by which I mean James and I got very drunk and had a lovely time, thank you very much), we decided to let locals decide our day plans in London.
I’m really excited about filming a whole host of these (spoiler: just did one in Istanbul at the weekend!) and doing more videos about SAVING SOME DOLLA DOLLA.
chatting travel with matt and tom
Matt and Tom, off of the YouTubez, invited me onto their Park Bench series to talk all things travel for which I was MORE THAN WILLING.
Due to their well deserved popularity, I also smashed through 1,000 subscribers on my own channel (WHOOP WHOOP) so it’s official, it’s not just my Mum watching (hi Mum, I know you’ll be reading this and yes, I am very grateful for your loyal, unwavering support and no, I can’t make it home for Mother’s Day sorry).
The video features loads of travel tips (with a load I’d never heard of before – WHODATHUNKIT?) so give it a watch and make sure you subscribe to the wonders that are Matt and Tom as well.
Lovely.

I’ve properly milked this now so I’m sure you’ll all be very glad to hear that this is officially the last video of the ‘how many holidays’ challenge series!
However, not all is done and dusted – make sure you do subscribe as there’s more to come. Starting with ‘Ask a Local: London’ next week!
the recap | most drunk, biggest fail & best accommodation
Do you remember at the end of each series of Friends where they did their ‘and here’s our best bits’ episode? Well, this is basically that.
Featuring most drunk, biggest fail and best accomm – oh, and James attempts to do the non-handed shot one last time…
WHY DOES THAT BOY NOT LEARN?!!
