Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes

I managed to catch Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes at the Wedgewood Rooms. Check out what i thought about the gig here. Continue reading Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes


Hi Stranger. I'm Emma, a professional nerd from Southsea, with a massive love for travel. Geeky Tourist is my way of sharing tips on how to make each day a little geekier than the last. If you love books, movies, TV series, games, science, or history, you are going to find something here for you. Enjoy!

I don't think there's any city as nice as Budapest at night. All their buildings glow this lovely shade of orange, even Fisherman's Bastion high on top of the hill - which always reminds me of Hogwarts, even more so in the dark. What do you think?
Charles Bridge in Prague can be seen in all sorts of movies - most recently in Spider-man: Far From Home, as the bridge where MJ tells Peter she knows his secret - but I first saw noticed it in Mission: Impossible. There's a scene where Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, climbs a set of stairs onto the bridge, to meet Jim Phelps (Jon Voight) before he gets shot, and falls off said bridge. Those exact steps are still there and I couldn't resist taking a picture of the exact spot where Tom Cruise stood. Are you a Misson: Impossible fan?
Who's getting excited for Christmas? Once my birthday weekend is over I am READY. Bring on the mulled wine, bring on the roast dinners, bring on the reams of decorations, and bring on the Christmas Markets! Where do you love to visit in the build up to Christmas? The markets in Vienna have to be some of my all time favourites. They really go all out with the lights. This was the entrance to Rathauspark - so pretty 😍
Wishing I was back in this stunning hotel in Dublin - @iveaghgardenhotel - this morning, rather than nursing a hangover on my sofa. There's just something about a beautiful bookcase that I cannot resist. I had an amazing night last night celebrating my birthday with friends and showing off the new house. Thank you to my beautiful buddies for making it so special. Now I just need to recover enough to go get a roast.
'I love you Hunny Bunny' - does anyone recognise which movie this quote is from? I'll give you a hint - it's a Tarantino movie - and this section at the @londoncocktailclub is a replica of the Diner in the final scene of the film.
It's been an unusually quiet year for me travel wise, so Jess and I have decided to go out with a bang. Over the next few months we'll be heading to Liverpool, Weymouth, Yorkshire and Edinburgh - the latter for some New Year's celebrations. Its going to be exhausting but I'm so excited. This photo was taken the last time I was in York visiting all the Harry Potter Locations I could find. Did you know there are three Harry Potter themed shops in the Shambles alone? If you're a bit of a Potterhead like me, you'll be excited to hear there'll be loads more magical photos coming soon as I'm heading to the studio tour next weekend. Have you got any fun trips planned over the next few weeks?
I had the most amazing evening last night with my favourite @chellesalmon. We finally got to see @lizzobeeating, who helped grow our friendship to the magnanimous state it is now - bonding over being bad ass bitches is a powerful thing. We also found the most amazing bar which was part Millennium Falcon, part Titanic, that I wish to live in. The Geeky Tourist in me is impressed. Is it really a night out in London if you're not sipping on a Corpse Reviver whilst humming along to the imperial march?
I'm heading up to York for the next few days for my nans funeral, then Jess and I are moving house on Monday - it's going to be one of those non-stop, hectic weekends and I already have major anxiety just thinking about it. Still, the day must go on, so I'm currently sat in the car thinking of better times, like touring Northern Ireland looking for Game of Thrones Locations. This was Inch Abbey, the location used when Robb Stark was crowned King of the North in season 2. We got to dress up as Northern men and play around with swords - definitely a highlight of our tour.
