You’ve booked the flights, grabbed your umbrella and already started to practice your ‘ello’ guvnor’ to proudly announce your arrival…Yup, you’re on your way to our amazing city, London. And yes, no one actually says that in London!  There’s a heck of a lot to see once you get here, especially if you’re only staying for … Continue Reading

The US isn’t just the more popular cities of NYC, Los Angeles and Nashville, there are so many more fun US cities that sometimes get overlooked when planning a trip to the US. This is why I wanted to share some of the very best things to do in Chicago. Honestly, it’s one epic place in … Continue Reading

Our last evening on our trip to the Dordogne Valley in France was spent in a beautiful chateau with its adjoining vineyard – Chateau de Panisseau. We’d arrived shortly after leaving the charming village of Issigeac and wasted no time in checking out the new digs. This place is sheer French perfection – right down … Continue Reading

Photos are such a funny little thing, aren’t they? They don’t have limits like words do when it comes to telling a story and this is understandably why photography is still one of those things that people across the globe, regardless of what language they speak, can all agree on. The first Lumix camera I had … Continue Reading

… yeah, you know its coming so grab yourself a glass of bubbly while I sit down and brace yourself while I sing your praises! 😀 But first, I’m going to break with protocol and talk a bit more about numbers. This year, we’ve seen numbers on the blog grow to amounts we couldn’t even … Continue Reading

This was one thing I was soooo looking forward to long before we arrived in the Maldives! Swimming with Manta Rays in the wild is such an amazing experience and I’d seen so many jealousy-inducing photos and videos before we returned to the Maldives so when we arrived in the Maafushivaru Maldives Resort, an island that’s … Continue Reading

I’ve been meaning to share this with you for quite a few months now and somehow never quite managed to get this up until now! The place in question is Le Pop – which is at home in the Le Méridien, located right on La Rambla – Barcelona’s most popular street. Now it might seem … Continue Reading

Filled with heaps of things to see and do, Barcelona has quickly become one of my favourite cities in Europe. Its gorgeous sights, delicious food and the incredible Gaudi creations make this an incredible city to explore. Just before we flew to the Maldives for a much-welcome indulgent holiday, I decided it would be fun to sneak in a … Continue Reading

Sri Lanka seems to be one of those countries that everyone’s been thinking about this year! It’s one of those special countries that has an immersive culture, some pretty epic teachings and enough spiced hoppers to enjoy, day after day! Over the course of this year, we’ve been fortunate to be able to visit Sri … Continue Reading

The second part of our recent trip to the Maldives is here!!! 🙂 This time we changed home from this one to the Velassaru Maldives. There’s something so exciting about arriving at a new island in the Maldives. New restaurants to discover (i.e. new attempts to try to eat my weight in delicious foods), new … Continue Reading

The next morning, I decided it probably made sense to get up a bit earlier, especially seeing as we would have to leave by mid-afternoon to catch our flight back to London and I wanted to cram in as much as possible into the morning. It was the last day of our trip to Hamburg exploring the … Continue Reading

It took me a while to get used to the name Rathaus. See, Rathaus are German city halls (effectively ‘home’ to the Government) yet in plain English, it always sounds like Rat House to me so I can help but imagine a mini house for rats and mice (rats and mice belong together as far … Continue Reading

Love or hate them… we all tend to either make them, break them or try our best to ignore everything about them! Whatever your feelings on the matter, New Year’s resolutions are about to be shoved down your throat quicker than last Malteser in the pack. 🙂 I’m gonna go out on a whim here … Continue Reading

Arriving into Hamburg was certainly something of a surprise to the system. For starters, we arrived on a beautiful yet freezing cold day (after spending almost a month in over 30C temperatures in the Maldives and Sri Lanka), then there was how beautiful and ‘shiny’ the city looked, all prepped up for Christmas… … and … Continue Reading
