I’m a sucker for beaches – I love the smell, the relaxing sounds of the crashing waves, the sunshine, relaxing with drinks on them… Darn! Got that silly Piña colada song stuck in my head now! “If you like Piña Coladas…” The thought of beaches and this weekend got me thinking about what comes naturally with them … Continue Reading
The Northern Lights probably need no introduction. That being said, finding the best places to see the Northern Lights is a totally different matter! The images of them are so iconic and they are a natural wonder that is even more amazing to see in real life. Seeing them in person is an experience I … Continue Reading
Disclaimer: This trip to Calico was another impromptu stop on the trip (albeit a rather nice one)! On the drive to Hollywood after 3 days in Las Vegas (which was so much fun but more of that in another post soon), my friends and I figure we might as well break up the journey with a stop … Continue Reading
I need some advice! As part of my holidays anywhere, one of the things I enjoy the most is trying out local food! I’m such a foodie at heart and I genuinely get excited once I know there’s food involved in a trip anywhere. That is of course until I came across the Durian Fruit. … Continue Reading
Compared to our neighbours on the continent (France and Italy, I’m looking at you in particular), British food sometimes gets a bad rap and doesn’t always get the praise it deserves. French food is renowned for being so sophisticated yet utterly-delicious and Italian food is regarded as real comfort, indulgent food all across the world. … Continue Reading
Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and easily the most romantic cities in Italy. I know Paris is well-known for being ‘the romantic city’ but don’t be fooled, Venice easily rivals Paris for this title. Plus it has amazing ice creams, so for me it absolutely wins! 🙂 Venice is so … Continue Reading
Morocco is one of the more memorable places I’ve had the pleasure of visiting and particularly so is the city of Marrakesh! I’m not entirely sure what it is about it that makes it so exciting – perhaps it’s the raw unpretentiousness of it all, the Arabic heritage, the hustle and bustle of people going … Continue Reading
Above: An actual picture part way through our road trip! Without further ado, here are the 12 essential things you need to take with you on any road trip! 1.) Food and Drinks (no alcohol): Eat. Drink. Drive. Repeat. is the most essential yet probably not the easiest mantra to have on your road trip – especially when … Continue Reading
Following a fairly short-ish ride (circa 3 hours) filled with a warning about impending hurricanes, we finally arrived at New Orleans to explore Preservation Hall, Gorge at mothers and take in all the jazz. You see, New Orleans was definitely one of the most anticipated stops on our USA road trip. However, we arrived truly … Continue Reading
My friend had been saying for months (almost a whole year actually) that she wanted to celebrate her birthday somewhere outside of the UK and as amazing as the idea was, the process of organising flights and accommodation for even 4 people is daunting to me at the best of times let alone organising for a … Continue Reading
It’s that time of the year again! The summer party holiday season is here (or around the corner for some). Holiday-time with friends and the general opportunity to let your hair down and de-stress coupled with the promise of having a crazy (in a good way) time with your friends is definitely one of the … Continue Reading
I’m a sucker for converted open spaces – I’ve said time and time how much I love the juxtaposition of the old and new in these living spaces (yes, these are not just ‘apartments’ to me, they’re so much more than that) and judging from your comments on here, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, you’re fans of … Continue Reading
This is important stuff so pay attention people. 🙂 It’s safe to say that I’m obviously not the first person to have been on a hammock and being on holiday in Spain – especially after a rather nice lunch and quite a lot of Sangria, I figured I’d retire to the comfort of the hammock … Continue Reading
You arrive in the hotel after an early morning flight – what the first thing you do? Get some sustenance! Upon arrival in Porto, this is exactly what we did – got my priorities straight you see. Hehehe! After wandering around for a bit, we finally found this restaurant on the waterfront and figured it was … Continue Reading
