Another day, another PR infographic. But I rather like this one! Currency Fair – the online peer-to-peer currency exchange market have done their research, and found out how much an identical date would cost in various cities around the [...]

Destination Four – Barcelona, Spain (The Non-Event!)

October 8, 2014

Those of you following the blog on Twitter will know that last week I headed off to Spain for a few days. Unlike last year’s 30 Blind Dates Challenge, my 30 Dates Around the World Challenge is taking place over a more relaxed timescale. As [...]

Destination Three – Edinburgh, Scotland (The Groupon Guy)

March 23, 2014

I should probably start by telling you that I’m writing this blog post from a gorgeous little café / wine bar called Eden, on South William Street in Dublin. The ceiling above me resembles a greenhouse, but made up of panes of coloured glass. [...]

Heading off on the First Date Around the World
