Shortly after breakfast in our previous ‘home’ island in the Maldives, the seaplane arrived to take us to the new one – Velassaru (…via the capital city of Male, of course). From Male we hopped aboard the island boat which was waiting for us and before long, the beautiful island of Velassaru was in sight! The weather … Continue Reading
The Dordogne Valley is arguably one of the most beautiful places to visit in France and one that’s very easily overlooked in favour of more popular parts of France. Even for me, who lives in the UK, the Dordogne Valley is one French region we’d overlooked. That said, until last summer, we finally got to … Continue Reading
After spending a beautiful albeit cloudy day in Florence, the sun decided to finally pop its head out! With this in mind, I decided it make perfect sense to head over to one of the most colourful places in Italy; Cinque Terre.

This is especially true with all the best places in the Nordic countries to visit. The best part about these countries though is that there’s such a … Continue Reading
Berlin is a city that totally took me by surprise, albeit not the first time I visited. The first time was with friends (10 of us in total) and we had no expectations whatsoever. The second time we visited it was just the two of us, we’d seen a lot of the sights the first … Continue Reading
When we booked our flights to South Africa, I took it for granted that organising the details of our safari would be the least of my worries. Having travelled quite a bit, booking hotels seemed like second-nature, the hardest part really was finding a place that you like (which is easy enough in itself), the … Continue Reading
No doubt, if it’s your first visit to the northeast of the United States, it’s likely you’ll dive right in to some of the firm favourites of New York City, Niagara Falls and Washington DC, which are all incredible places to experience (there’s no doubt about that) but, and it’s a big but, there is … Continue Reading
After our morning snorkelling around the house reef, the rest of the afternoon was devoted to soaking in as much sunshine as possible and splashing around in the pool! The Angsana Velavaru ocean villa pools are a lot bigger than I’d anticipated and, drinks in hand, are a perfect way to make the most of … Continue Reading
We’ve raved about these islands so much on here and we’ve finally gotten round to putting together our video from our visit to the Isles of Scilly!

Following on from our last post here where we showed you what I’ve found to be one of the easiest cameras for getting amazing professional quality photos (and when we told you the exciting news that we’re Ambassador for Panasonic Lumix cameras), I figured I might as well put together a few quick and easy … Continue Reading
The next morning at the Angsana Velavaru, after our fairly relaxed day of arrival into the Maldives – I had two main things planned for the day – snorkelling (the Maldives is, as you already know, amazing for this) and indulging in the spa… actually, make that 3 things – I also planned on getting … Continue Reading
