Five Movie Themed Bars to Visit in Edinburgh
Having a cocktail in an interesting bar is probably one of my favourite things to do when I’m exploring a new city because it’s a great way to break up a long day of being a tourist – whilst also doing something fun. With the pubs reopening and holiday planning commencing, I thought it might be the perfect time to share some of my favourite … Continue reading Five Movie Themed Bars to Visit in Edinburgh
North Shire | Two Nights at North Yorkshire’s Hobbiton
Towards the end of last year, Jess surprised me with a little trip away for my birthday. He didn’t tell me where we were going, just that I needed to get a couple of days off work. He then handed me an envelope, and inside was a picture of a little hobbit house – a hobbit house that was all mine for two whole nights. Staying … Continue reading North Shire | Two Nights at North Yorkshire’s Hobbiton

As promised, I’m working my way through a back log of posts from a few of my recent trips, and thought I’d start at the end, rather than the beggining, with Edinburgh. I visited the city over Hogmanay – Edinburgh’s version of New Year’s Eve – last year, and while the festivities didn’t end up being quite my cup of tea, the capital itself ceases … Continue reading A Guide to Avengers Filming Locations in Edinburgh

I’d usually feel a bit anxious about that – I mean, I am the geeky tourist after all – but I’m actually kind of looking forward to having a break, focusing on myself a little more, and catching up … Continue reading Five New TV Series To Watch This February
Introducing Einstein
I’ve been wanting to get back into sharing posts on Geeky Tourist for a while now, but until this very moment, I’ve not been quite sure how to break the ice. ‘Hi, I’m Emma, and I used to write about my nerdy adventures on here all the time but I’ve been awol for a few months – ok, more than a few months – oh … Continue reading Introducing Einstein
10 New TV Series To Watch This October
One of my favourite things to do in the Autumn months is snuggle up on the sofa and binge watch TV shows with Jess. You feel a little less guilty spending hours in front of the television when the weather isn’t great outside – not that I particularly feel guilty when there’s sunshine either.
