On our final morning in Berlin, I decided it was high time we visited a place we’d missed out on, on our previous trip – Charlottenburg Palace; and also to finally explore inside the Berlin Cathedral.

… or at least, Happy New Year in advance! 🤗 🎊 🥂 🎉 Okay, so I figured I’d better write this post before I get knee deep in champagne, prosecco, gin and whatever else the driver from Amazon delivers (I went really lazy this year – didn’t even leave the house to go shopping). I don’t even know … Continue Reading
Weihnachtszauber am Gendarmenmarkt is arguably the best Christmas market in Berlin! The location alone, right outside Berlin’s Konzerthaus (and next two of it’s most iconic churches – Neue Kirche a.k.a. Deutscher Dom and Französischer Dom, the German and French churches, respectively) makes it one of the best spots to be in the city during the … Continue Reading
The many colourful towns and cities in Europe have long been a reason in themselves to visit regions, and indeed countries, you perhaps might not have even considered visiting in the past.

After our initial frustrating yet rewarding first visit to Potsdam (I know, sounds confusing but have a read of the post here and you’ll understand what I mean…), we returned to Potsdam the next day with all the eagerness in the world and a plan to visit all the major sights in this amazing city! … Continue Reading
After a rather long journey from London, we arrived in Bali late at night. By the time we actually then left the airport and arrived in our villa in Ubud, it was well past midnight! You’d think that would mean going straight to be once we arrived but instead, armed with beers we’d picked up … Continue Reading

Here’s the thing though, my first trip to Berlin didn’t leave much of an impression of the city on me. Don’t get me … Continue Reading
A trip to Bordeaux, France in late autumn/early winter sounds somewhat counter-intuitive; (trips to wine country tend to be done in summer, after all) but when you find out how to stay in a castle in France, or rather a “French Chateau” 😁, you tend not to overthink it! Plus, it’s so easy to get … Continue Reading

On the final day in Yorkshire, the sun finally graced us with its presence, warming up the beautiful countryside as it rose (surprising slowly) for this time of the year! Eager to make the most of our remaining time here, we wolfed through breakfast and headed straight for the Food Capital of Yorkshire – Malton. … Continue Reading
Hawaii is one of those places where, to be honest, you’re probably not really struggling for reasons to want to visit. It just feels so familiar (you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t heard of it) yet so mysterious (think Jurassic Park) and intriguing, all at the same time.

So here’s the scene – it’s the middle of winter and despite your travels during the year (and constant insistence that you’re done with swelteringly hot summer days), you’ve found yourself smack in the centre of a cold wintery snap (with full-on grey clouds to match).
