Queen Victoria Night Market draws to a close - Melbourne

A simple pleasure not to be missed, the Queen Victoria Night Market is in its final two weeks closing on 26th March 2014.

What has been a Summer of sunshine, bands, an array of food and not forgetting the delicious sangria, the night market is a Melbourne icon for travellers and dwellers alike. Into its 16th year, the night market runs from 5pm - 10pm offering punters street food from around the world, music and clothing stalls.

Barry - old man by name, cool cafe by nature - High St, Northcote

Having landed in Melbourne five weeks ago, I quickly discovered something... Melbourne residents are ADDICTED to coffee. And I mean seriously addicted.

On the first few tries of a Melbourne cup of Joe, I found my eyes zooming in and out, speaking quickly and given a raging boost of energy. Exactly what the world keeps saying is bad for us but a caffeine kick is great in my opinion.

I saw Barry on my first drive home from the airport. Spotting the exposed brick work a mile off I added it to the long list of lunch joints to try whilst here.

Ariba! Ariba! Mexican street food... in the centre of Leeds

Three months off... tres naughty!

However lots of coming posts full of delicious treats and feasts for the eyes, from restaurants, to bars to festivals with plenty of recommendations in various different cities.

Having shuffled back over to the epicentre of West Yorkshire to a new job in Leeds, I arrived at the same time as the new Trinity Leeds Shopping Centre (how convenient).

I'm swiftly working my way round all the brand new eateries and cocktail caves but after a lovely few weeks of actual Summer sunshine headed to Cielo Blanco, a Mexican restaurant on the top floor of the centre.

Due to my job, this was my third visit to Paris in a year, for an international exhibition. Lucky for me we do get some free time in the late afternoon and evenings to explore what is fast becoming one of my favourite cities.

Buenos Aires, where even the dogs are attractive!

Well I have nicked the name of this post from the title of my Facebook album as it's so true!

Buenos Aires is a very very cool city. After visiting in July to meet my Aussie friends for two weeks, it's quickly become one of my favourite cities. Its very creative, with a massive cafe culture, restaurants a plenty, busy bars and clubs that you don't leave until 8am!

With two of my best friends headed off in that direction I decided to pull together some recommendations in a primarily picture based post of the crazy city of BA, Argentina.
