For me, Norway’s true appeal lies far from the bright lights of its cities, like Oslo (though that’s amazing too). That being said, Bergen is a bit of an exception though with its UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen and this amazing view at Floyen. Seriously, nowhere else in the world looks or feels just like … Continue Reading
After a day of hiking many-a-mountain (okay, fine – just two mountains), we spent the rest of that evening in Sri Lanka having calming Ayruveda massages and dining on as much delicious Sri Lankan food as we could lay our hands on (which was quite a lot). ^Above is where you have the massages by … Continue Reading
I’d been meaning to do this post since I moved into the flat in London somehow just managed to keep procrastinating on it and today I just figured I might as well just go ahead and do it. I’m going a bit more personal today and I’m gonna share with you snippets from my home. … Continue Reading
A while back, I remember a particular UK University (with a permanent fixture in the lower half of the league tables) saying no to me when I applied to them. This year, I graduated from University of Cambridge (top in the UK and arguably in the world). I also recollect a few years back being … Continue Reading
Jasper National Park is easily one of the most beautiful parts of Canada we’ve ever visited and it’s reason in itself to want to explore even more of the Canadian Rockies. These jagged gigantic mountains make for stunning scenes – couples with beautiful (sometimes turquoise) calm lakes, gorges and canyon are just some of the reasons … Continue Reading
Regardless of where you’re from in the world, Bali is one of those places that just conjures up images of tropical paradise. Bali a pretty popular destination and anyone who’s familiar with this Indonesian island will be quick to point out that there’s no way you can see all of the sights in a short … Continue Reading
For how much I love visiting Germany to see family (and for its Christmas markets), I realise that there’s so much of Germany I still haven’t seen and that I really REALLY wanted to. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we rectified that with Cologne and this city is such a treat and a fantastic … Continue Reading
Vancouver was the first place I ever visited in Canada and one spot I quickly fell in love with. That’s not saying the rest of Canada isn’t great; in fact, there’s a heap of incredible places in Canada to explore but, Vancouver is definitely near the top of that list. This is exactly why I … Continue Reading
I feel like it’s a safe assumption to make that you already know by now that we spent a rather long weekend in Gipuzkoa (which is in the Spanish Basque Country). There is a lot to tell you and so as you can imagine, this is a picture heavy post but I feel this is … Continue Reading
A city within the city – Shinkuju is one of the wards within the Tokyo metropolis area. Another easy tick off the sight seeing list if you’re in Tokyo. How cute is that animation??? I found this on a blog I’m now totally obsessed with called Japan Lover and if you’re in even the slightest … Continue Reading
The next morning, we got up bright and early for breakfast in the desert and headed over to our final stop of the trip Tel Aviv! Our very first plan in Tel Aviv involved one of my favourite things – food! It was essentially a food tour through Carmel Market – Tel Aviv’s largest market, … Continue Reading
When you think of visiting Germany, there are just so many amazing cities (and towns) that leap right to the top of the list with so many other gems kinda overlooked. Munich (especially with its famous Oktoberfest), Berlin with its famous Dom, grit and amazing nightlife, Cologne’s Christmas markets and Hamburg’s Hanseatic charms, not to … Continue Reading
Now, as the Kurumba has a lot of choice on offer and we had very limited time to sample all the choices, we had a greedy modern take on dinner. How? By having starters in one restaurant, mains from another and dessert for a third! Even with that though (and lunch from an entirely different … Continue Reading
Our last evening on our trip to the Dordogne Valley in France was spent in a beautiful chateau with its adjoining vineyard – Chateau de Panisseau. We’d arrived shortly after leaving the charming village of Issigeac and wasted no time in checking out the new digs. This place is sheer French perfection – right down … Continue Reading
