Day Trips, Travel
I know I’m probably pushing the definition of travel somewhat with this post but sometimes it’s good to visit places on your doorstep. I think a lot of people overlook places nearby as it’s too familiar. That said it is a bit more exciting to be jetting away on a long haul flight, instead of taking a 15 minute ride …
Transition, Travel
So most of my previous trips since coming out have all been by bus, rail and sea, I did do a flight very soon after coming out by pretending to be male, but I still had yet to try air travel and the airport security process. At the moment I’m limited to domestic flying using my driving licence while I …

Earlier this month I did something I’ve wanted to do for 20 years, which was to see Placebo live. When they announced their 20th anniversary tour we talked about trying to get tickets for the show at Wembley arena but alas standing had sold out. A couple of days later my friend decided to torture herself a little by rechecking …
Transition, Travel
My recent trip to M’era Luna is probably the last time I’ll be using my male passport as it expires next year. Hopefully by then I’ll have the paperwork from the clinic to change the name and gender. This should make travelling a lot easier as my current name and photo are very much pre transition. Update: I’ve since applied …
Europe, Festivals
Those who follow me will know that I’m a bit of a Goth at heart and I love travelling to the European Festivals like Wave-Gotik-Treffen and M’era Luna. There really is nothing like them in the UK. This was my third time making the trip to M’era Luna and as before I travelled with Goths On a Bus. This quote …

Nightwish at M’era Luna, Welle: Erdball at Amphi and Mono Inc at WGT This summer has been very much a black Gothic summer for me. I’ve attended the three biggest Goth Festivals in the world. Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig back in May, Amphi Festival in Cologne in July then just a couple of weeks later M’era Luna in Hildesheim. …
Europe, Travel
I’ve just remembered that it’s been a year since my trip to Geneva and it’s making me miss Switzerland. It was very much a budget trip and it is possible to do budget in one of the most expensive cities in the world without suffering too much. I had fun exploring the city and shoreline. Maybe …

London was fun apart from the weather, I was pretty much soaked through and frozen so outfit photos didn’t happen. If I’d have known I could have left the DSLR at C’s house So a selfie before the deluge is the only picture I have. Weather aside I had a great weekend visiting my friends and getting to look …

Hopefully in the next few years I’ll take a trip to the USA (if I manage to save!). Here are a few destinations I’d really like to visit. San Francisco San Francisco is one of those cities that I’ve always wanted to visit, a great mixture of great views, interesting architecture and vibrant culture Of course there is the …

As you may already know as well as trying to look fabulous I also like to travel to fabulous places. All of my plans for 2015 so far are based around German Gothic music festivals (because Goth is for life not just for Whitby!). I love that with the city based events you can be a tourist by day and …
