Since itโs been literally forever a little while since Iโve updated Geeky Tourist, I thought the beginning of the month โ Hello October! โ would be the perfect time to stop procrastinating, pull my finger out, and give you guys a bit of an update as to why Iโve been so vacant. The short story? Iโve been super busy. I honestly donโt think Iโm exaggerating … Continue reading Life Lately | Live Music, Robin Hood and The North
Finding my inner Picasso I donโt get to see my mum very often these days โ itโs almost impossible to find a time when weโre both free, and she hates it. I donโt even think sheโd be satisfied if we saw each other every day. So this December, I decided to get her something a little different for Christmas โ some much coveted mother-daughter bonding … Continue reading Furniture Painting with the Mercantile Adventurers
Iโm a very conflicted person when it comes to having a social life. Half of me is a bonafide introvert who likes to stay indoors, far away from humanity โ and the other half is always anxiously thinking Iโm not living life to its fullest, pushing me to take advantage of every possibility that arises.

I bloody love living here, but I expect a lot of you have never heard of … Continue reading 12 Geeky Things to do in Hampshire this February
As someone who spends a lot of time in London for work, I very rarely get to see much more than my office in Kensington, so this year I’ve decided I want to change that and explore the capital a bit more. If you’ve read much of my blog already, you’ll know I’m always on the look out for quirky things to see and do, … Continue reading Science Afternoon Tea at The Drawing Rooms
In my mission to catch up with posts, and share some of the places I visited towards the end of last year, I thought I’d write about one of my favourite stores from a recent trip to Edinburgh โ Museum Context. Itโs bursting at the seams with Harry Potter goodies, and is a must visit if youโre a Potterhead like me, and find yourself in … Continue reading Museum Context | A Harry Potter Inspired Store in Edinburgh
I bloody love this time of year! As soon as I see October on my calendar, Iโm in Halloween mode โ eating bat shaped cookies, carving pumpkins, decorating my whole flat to look like those gaudy haunted houses you see at funfairs. It just has to be done. One of my absolute favourite ways to get into the Halloween spirit though is to watch horror … Continue reading 18 Iconic Horror Film Locations You Should Check Out This Halloween
Itโs been 10 years since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published. How mental is that? I actually remember where I was when I started flicking through the first chapter of the book โ sat in the car park of a local supermarket, not long after midnight. I continued to read through the night. As you can imagine, I was not fit for school … Continue reading Harry Potter Filming Locations in London
