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
20 Most Anticipated Movies of 2020 | Sci-fi and Fantasy Edition
My weekend is starting early this week as me, Jess and Einstein head to the New Forest for a mini getaway – the puppy’s first stay away from home since we first brought him back to ours over a month ago. There are lots of long walks and pub lunches in store which I’m very excited about – though I am slight gutted I won’t … Continue reading 20 Most Anticipated Movies of 2020 | Sci-fi and Fantasy Edition
The Magic Potions Tavern | Brewing Cocktails in Edinburgh’s Old Town
I like to think of myself as a some sort of magical travel genie when it comes to planning trips away because I somehow manage to find the craziest things, no matter where we go. And whilst I rarely leave a stone left unturned in the geeky activities department, a few things will occasionally slip under my radar – The Magic Potions Tavern being one of … Continue reading The Magic Potions Tavern | Brewing Cocktails in Edinburgh’s Old Town
A Guide to Avengers Filming Locations in Edinburgh
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
Five New TV Series To Watch This February
With Einstein taking up my entire life at the moment, it’s safe to say that my social life has been put on hold for a while. 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. October looks to be an especially great month for new series, … Continue reading 10 New TV Series To Watch This October

A Lord of the Rings Guide to the Cotswolds | 6 Places That Inspired Tolkien
The Cotswolds probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings author grew up in the city of Birmingham, then spent most of his time in Oxford, so they are the locations most associated with him. However, Tolkien had family in Evesham – a small market town in Worchestershire – and he would visit … Continue reading A Lord of the Rings Guide to the Cotswolds | 6 Places That Inspired Tolkien
