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
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
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 about … 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
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
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
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
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
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
I’m in true love/lust/infatuation with this burger! It’s so strange as it’s so unexpected. Okay, so living in Singapore – it seems a big disingenuous to be eating a burger when there’s so much delicious local cuisine to try but in all fairness, I’ve actually done quite a bit of that since I’ve been here … Continue Reading
Okay, that may be something of an exaggeration (easily fixed by the addition of a conjunction)… Budapest as a city not only has amazing sights to see but also has some pretty good food! As a tourist one of the best parts about visiting Budapest is that the cost of living is a lot cheaper … Continue Reading
1.) Take the Thames Clipper (boat) up River Thames This is way cheaper than the river cruises and a great way to see a lot of sights across the Thames in London. Of course, it doesn’t come with a tour guide talking to you about what you’re seeing but that may not be a bad … Continue Reading
I finish school this year and hopefully will have the opportunity to travel next year! I am planning to go to France and England for a month and if I have enough time maybe Germany or Scotland. I was just wondering if you could give me some tips on how much I should … Continue Reading
1.) PLAN! PLAN!! PLAN!!!: Decide on where you want to go in advance, things you’d like to do, sights you’d like to see – pretty much everything possible! It takes the pressure off the actual holiday and you can actually spend the time enjoying the holiday rather than trying to put together a plan of … Continue Reading
