For quite some time now, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of going on a day trip to France. Predominantly because everyone I knew who’d been raved about how cheap the wines once you crossed over on the ferry but partly because I kinda wanted those bragging right “Oh, I just popped over to France … Continue Reading
I have no idea how to make this post short so I’m not even gonna try! Once you see the photos from that flight to (and from) Whistler, you’ll understand why it was a struggle to stop taking photos – that place is gorgeous. Suffice to say, your obligatory tea and biscuits (oh, what the … Continue Reading
Ever since we laid out our plans for Vancouver, there was one thing I was really looking forward to – that thing was heading over to Whistler for the day. This was partly because I’d never gotten to visit Whistler before but mostly because the views on the way over were said to be absolutely … Continue Reading
For the first time since we arrived in Vancouver (on this trip, anyway), we decided to tear ourselves away from the wonderful breakfast at the Shangri La and head into town for breakfast. There was a place in town everyone kept raving about and my gluttony was far too intrigued to not pop in and … Continue Reading
After that ‘refreshing’ dip in the Arctic Sea, we meandered slowly through the city centre of Tromso before heading to our new hotel, smack in the centre of the action (I use that term lightly – it was a long public holiday so the city wasn’t nearly as busy as it typically would be). Our … Continue Reading
I’m literally writing this from my hotel room in St Kitts (not sure how pertinent that is but just felt like something I needed to say). My intrigue with St Kitts actually started on a different Caribbean island, where over a lunch-time conversation with stranger-turned-new friends, I found out that St Kitts is actually, officially … Continue Reading
On one random evening, many moons ago, we decided to we HAD to go to Hawai‘i (fine, “had to” might be a bit strong 😄) and within minutes, we’d booked flights to head out to Hawai’i! (Sidebar: A great deal had popped into my email a few hours prior so the resolve to go to … Continue Reading
Cologne is so synonymous with amazing Christmas markets (which makes winter a great time to visit) but there’s so much more to this city than it’s festive markets. We were due to fly in but thanks to last minute changes with the flights, we ended up taking the train instead. I actually recommend taking the … Continue Reading
Our last trip to Nimes was one of those perfect friend’s holidays. Nimes is an incredible Roman city in France and is actually one of the best preserved Roman cities in the world (its temple and amphitheatre are prime examples of this) – not quite what you’d expect from a French city right? We managed … Continue Reading
Arriving in China, I can’t even begin to describe how tired and jet-lagged I was (totally my fault – KLM had so many movies I’d wanted to see that I spent most of my flight catching up on my movies). Funny thing about tiredness and jetlag – the excitement that comes from visiting a city … Continue Reading
When you think of visiting Germany, there are just so many amazing cities (and towns) that leap right to the top of the list with so many other gems kinda overlooked. Munich (especially with its famous Oktoberfest), Berlin with its famous Dom, grit and amazing nightlife, Cologne’s Christmas markets and Hamburg’s Hanseatic charms, not to … Continue Reading
I’ve never been a fan of the whole “quit your job to travel the world” thing. I’ve said it before (literally a couple of days ago here… and in this post here) and I’ll say it again. Thing is, it’s not something I’ve stopped to think about and then reached the conclusion that I didn’t … Continue Reading
Our trip to Tokyo was one of our most ambitious trips yet! For starters, we had absolutely no plans to actually go to Tokyo when we first headed out this way – we actually were only ever meant to go to Seoul. As with any good travel plan, after a few glasses of wine with … Continue Reading
Full disclosure, I’m totally biased and I have no hesitation in shouting from the rooftops about how gorgeous and picturesque my home country of Wales actually is. There are so many incredible and best places in Wales that you just have to see. Now, it may be well over a decade since I left but … Continue Reading
