Not a hipster

The most bizarre thing happened to me yesterday.

I have planned a trip to Europe in just over a month with a friend of mine from Melbourne. But at some point in the trip my friend Julz abandons me and goes back to Melbourne for uni and I will be in London for 1 month. Wait for it.....studying at the London University of Arts - Boo yeah!
So naturally i began to look up sentences like this in google 'London for Hipsters' or 'the hipsters guide to London' but nothing that I was interested in really came up.

Now, lets just one thing clear, I am  not a hipster. But my logic path was more like 'I'm not British and i love bicycles so maybe over there I'd be considered a hipster...i mean comparing Bondi and Buckingham Palace, i thought I was on the right track....turns out I'm way off.

Not only are there a gazillion hipsters in London, but most of them even ride obscure bicycles such as these

Soooo I was way off and in need of some serious research. Nevertheless I couldn't find the right kind of blog for me! I was looking for a blog that showed the in's and out's of London's awesome places tourists would never find, cool off the map shops be it clothing or furniture and awesome bike routes and tips for the travelling tourist. So naturally, I then decided to create my own.


Im very excited to take you all with me, follow me on twitter and keep your eyes open for new updates.


oh and just so you know where your going.....

1 week Paris
4 days at the T in the Park festival Edinburgh
2 days Scotland
2 days Ireland
1 Month London...but I may make a few spontaneous trips in between....still getting over the fact I will not be stranded on an island there #Australia #10hourstoanywhere
