Living in England, I’m in the perfect position to pop across to Europe for the weekend – and I do, as much as I possibly can. Flights can be incredibly cheap if you go with a budget airline – we’re talking less than £50 for a return – but there’s a catch, you can generally only take hand luggage. For a lot of people, I … Continue reading 25 Geeky Backpacks For Your Next Adventure
One of the first things you do when you fall in love with the Harry Potter universe is fantasise about which house you would be in. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin all value such different traits when it comes to its students, that you could probably place yourself quite easily if you know yourself well enough.

Truth be told, I didn’t really know what to expect – apart from the obvious mulled wine, chimney cakes and Christmas trees – so I … Continue reading A Geeks Guide to Vienna
I thought I’d do something a little different for this months ’30 Geeky Things to Celebrate’, so rather than just listing out every geeky thing I think you’ll want to celebrate, I put it all into a geeky calendar that you can print out and hang on your wall – aren’t I bloody nice? I figured this way you’ll never miss out on a special … Continue reading 30 Geeky Things to Celebrate in April 2019
It’s beginning to look a lot like Con season! March is generally when I start thinking about what conventions I want to attend during the year ahead. There are a few I tend to gravitate towards each year – either because they’re closest or I know them well – but since one of my goals for 2019 was MORE CONVENTIONS, I felt the need to … Continue reading 18 Geeky UK Conventions To Add To Your Bucket List
