The inspiration behind this post comes from me trying to play this game with Lloyd over dinner in Lille and getting strange looks from him while he obsessed over his camembert! *Side note – I tasted the camembert and I have to admit – I get it, I wouldn’t have paid attention to myself if … Continue Reading
Our trip to the Basque Country in Spain was definitely one of the most memorable trips we’ve had. We got to make new friends, eat lots of different and amazing foods to our heart’s contents and become a lot more open to travel. In the past, I’d (like everyone else I suppose) been particularly keen … Continue Reading
Yup! We just arrived today and I’m already falling head over heels in love with this French city! See, I’d only ever gone past Lille on the way to Brussels or Amsterdam (also via Brussels) and I’d always been curious so we decided it was finally time to visit. We zoomed up to Lille in … Continue Reading
Our safari adventure started in Johannesburg but we didn’t get to see much of the city. We arrived late in the afternoon and by the time we had checked into the hotel, freshed up, gone for a quick dip in the pool and subsequently had to refreshen up again, it was night time so we … Continue Reading
Whenever you visit any city, especially if it’s for a weekend, it always makes sense to stay right in the centre of all the attraction. Okay, not smack bang in the middle but definitely close enough that you don’t end up spending you’re precious holiday time commuting to see all the sights. With this in … Continue Reading
Straight after our afternoon sampling, all the Guinness storehouse had to offer (see part 1 here and part 2 here), we headed back to the hotel which was understandably rather festively decorated. Maybe I’d just been away from London for so long and missed it but it definitely seemed like the Irish (or at least … Continue Reading
Due to some confusion or the other (or perhaps it was rum punch related), I managed to miss the complimentary St James Club catamaran trip (St James Club is where I stayed in Antigua) but despite this, I knew I had to see Antigua by boat properly. Thankfully, there are a lot of options available here … Continue Reading
If you’ve been on Instagram, then it probably comes as no surprise to you that we’ve been in the Cotswolds all weekend! I’ve wanted to take a trip back to the Cotswolds for quite some time now (I think this was the last time I spent a weekend there) and we got to do that properly … Continue Reading
New Zealand is a totally incredible country to visit! Not only does it have some beautiful cities, like; Wellington and Auckland but it also has a heap of the best beaches in New Zealand, too. It’s the kind of country that’s got a little something for everyone and a perfect place to explore on a … Continue Reading
These days, starting a blog is relatively easy. This is particularly the case if you decide to use platforms like Blogger or Tumblr where everything is pretty much ready to go as soon as you create your account. Other platforms like WordPress.org (which is very different from WordPress.com) takes a little more effort but is … Continue Reading
Iceland is a total dream country to visit, especially if you’re keen on the kind of trip that’s a little different from a beach or tropical holiday. That being said, it’s totally huge (much bigger than you might think)! So, I wanted to share our 1-week itinerary to visit Iceland that’ll help you along your … Continue Reading
“A trip to New York is incomplete without a visit to the High Line“… or so we’d been told and seeing as we’d never been before, we decided to go check out this claim for itself. The High Line starts in the Meatpacking district of Midtown Manhattan and carries on to West 34th Street. It’s … Continue Reading
Right, now where was I? Oh yes, carrying on from the first part of this post, our starters had just arrived at The Connoisseur Bar in the Guinness Storehouse and they’d disappeared down our greedy gobs much quicker than they’d arrived! Next up, we had the wild atlantic seafood chowder with a sprinkling of Carragheen Irish … Continue Reading
Despite an unseasonably warm start, winter has finally hit and even though I’m all for sunshine, t-shirt weather and cocktails by the beach, when the cold sets in, there’s nothing I like more than to lean into the frostiness that winter brings with it. I am a huge believer of making the most of what … Continue Reading
