I’d wanted to write this post for quite some time now and always found some reason or the other not to (or to keep putting it off). Thing is, my general idea of travel is to approach it with a fair amount of optimism. Look for the best in everywhere you visit, try to make … Continue Reading
Our trip to Nepal was one that we’d been looking forward to for months before we arrived!

Rome is such an amazing city – this almost goes without saying! It’s such an overwhelming city – in a very good way, of course. There’s just so much to see and do here that it can sometimes feels a tad too much. For instance, when it comes to sights – a weekend is just … Continue Reading
These days, there aren’t that many destinations that tend to surprise me. This isn’t because the destinations aren’t amazing or beautiful or dramatic or whatever-else-you’d-look-for-on-your-travels. I think it’s in large part due to being able to do a fair bit of research online, see photos (and videos) before going. This means I tend to arrive … Continue Reading
After spending our morning in the floating islands of Lake Titicaca, we hopped aboard our boat and headed over to Taquile island. Taquile island (and its textiles) have been designated with UNESCO protected status so it’s high on the list of places to visit in Lake Titicaca.

After conquering, “Europe’s tallest and fastest“, I went on just one ride before getting distracted by the wine bar aptly located right next to the ride.

Up until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of PortAventura. Lloyd, on the other hand had (apparently a friend had visited recently and told him all about it) so when we decided to go to PortAventura for a party, I had no idea what to expect. 😀 . Now, the reason why you … Continue Reading
One of the best ways of truly living your dream and going after the kind of life you want, is to learn skills you need to take you there. Sounds cheesy but it’s just one of those really obvious things in life. Beyonce isn’t ‘Beyonce’ just because she was ‘naturally gifted at singing’, Beyonce is … Continue Reading
Many many summers ago, I was sat at my desk on a trading floor in an Investment Bank in London, watching an intense game at Wimbledon out of the corner of my eye. It was a big match so most of the floor had stopped to watch the match (I was still fairly new to … Continue Reading
There are so many amazing things to do in Spain. To the point, that Last year we went to Spain at least once every month. The same thing carried on this year and even when I think about it, I think for the latter half of two years ago, we did exactly the same thing. … Continue Reading
One of the best parts about staying in Cusco, is that it is the gateway to a lot of amazing places in Peru so if you’re gonna choose a place to base yourself in, Cusco is probably it. The flip-side to that is that you always find that you have lot of reasons to leave … Continue Reading
And no, it isn’t Lloyd! Though, if it was, I’d never admitted it to him. He would use any compliment you give him to lord over you. Ha! So, I’ve been obsessed with books for as long as I can remember. It started for me when I was in primary school and my Mum came … Continue Reading
Now that’s a mouthful of title if ever there was one! Tomorrow, the 1st of July, is Canada Day (well it’s probably already ‘today” in some countries) and it’s not just your average Canada Day – it’s the 150th anniversary of Canada existing as a Confederation (which from what I recall is essentially when all … Continue Reading
But first things first – dinner!
