It is hard to relax on the beach when there’s so much amazing stuff to see around you and so, despite enjoying the down time chilling with cocktails by the beach, we decided we had to go snorkelling. We’d been told so much about the amazing house reef here and knew we had to … Continue Reading
After our brilliant first safari, I was understandably excited about the following morning’s safari drive – even if it did mean waking up at 5.00am! I have to admit, especially after going to bed at around 1am the night before – I did struggle for a minute or two with the wake up call, until … Continue Reading
First off, I’ll just admit it – I seriously underestimated Cape Town! The main reason why we visited South Africa was to go on safari and visiting Cape Town was initially nothing more than a was to spend a few extra days between the safari and returning to London. If we’d known how amazing it was and … Continue Reading
Now where was I? Oh yes, just as the sun was setting, we were off to find our new home in the Maldives – The Angsana Ihuru. Little did we know what they had in store for us… Our excitement meant that we could barely sit down in the boat as we edge close and closer … Continue Reading
… because let’s face it – a trip to Rio de Janeiro is quickly becoming a travel must-do! The colours, the beaches, the parties, the food… there are so many reasons why you should and would want to visit Rio de Janeiro but when you visit, what should you get up to? Well, we’ve got you … Continue Reading
The likes of the Swedish cities, like Stockholm, is totally amazing but there’s so much more to the country than just its capital city. Not only is there a heap of the best towns in Sweden, but there’s also a heap fo stunning places in Sweden that you kinda can’t miss. Plus, if that wasn’t … Continue Reading
Iceland is a totally stunning country to explore! This is especially true when you’re heading over to see all the best places that are dotted all across the country. That being said, the capital, Reykjavik also has a lovely charm, and is well worth visiting for a day (or two) whilst on a wider trip … Continue Reading
On our final day at the Dusit Thani Maldives, we decided to make the most of the infinity pool and so we got up bright and early! Had breakfast and headed down to the pool. The thing is, the snorkelling here is so great that the infinity pool had kinda been overlooked from our end … Continue Reading
… but before we do that, let me show you around our new South African home. 🙂 After hours of searching for safari lodges (and getting distracted by photos and blog posts of people on safari), I finally decided on going for the Kapama Southern Camp (part of the larger Kapama Private Game Reserve family). Lloyd is … Continue Reading
…and the main reason we were in Ireland after all. After a few whiskeys, we merrily made our way through Dublin’s streets back to where we’d been earlier in the day… except it looked very different from a few hours ago. The Guinness storehouse was celebrating its 15th birthday – excitement was in the air and … Continue Reading
Despite heading to bed fairly late on my first night in the Maldives, the jet lag got the better of me and fight it as I tried, I just couldn’t go back to sleep and so I decided to head out on my bicycle to watch the sunrise. I literally jumped out of bed, in my PJs, … Continue Reading
It’s safe to say this was a trip we’d been looking forward to for a while, and seeing as we had only two nights to spend in Madrid, we figured we might as well make it count and go for a hotel that definitely stands out. That hotel happened to be the Hotel Urso in Madrid’s … Continue Reading
After a few days in Madrid (and a quick stopover for a few hours back at home in London), we finally headed out to the Maldives! I can’t even pretend! I’d been looking forward to this trip for quite a while so I was justifiably excited when it finally arrived. A few movies, a snooze and a ‘couple’ of … Continue Reading
I’ll be the first to admit, before moving to live in Singapore, I can’t say I knew much about this tiny country. I had a friend living there who gave me a quick low-down on what areas to look for apartments in and told me how safe it all was…etc but that was about it. I … Continue Reading
