The second part of our recent trip to the Maldives is here!!! 🙂 This time we changed home from this one to the Velassaru Maldives. There’s something so exciting about arriving at a new island in the Maldives. New restaurants to discover (i.e. new attempts to try to eat my weight in delicious foods), new … Continue Reading
I’m such a huge fan of embracing the seasons. In summer-time, I want to spend every possible moment soaking up the sunshine outdoors. In autumn, I want to marvel at the dramatic change in nature as the leaves turn from what is almost ‘uniform green’ to all the many beautiful hues from reds to oranges. … Continue Reading
*Heads up – this is a huge blog post so you might wanna grab yourself a cuppa tea and raid the pantry for biscuits before you start… 😄 After an amazing day in Machu Picchu, we arrived back into Machupicchu (the village – also known as Aguas Caliente) absolutely knackered and so ravenous! Like so hungry … Continue Reading
Perched on the East Coast, Washington, D.C. is a pretty incredible city to visit if you’re looking to explore one of the best cities in the USA.

Osaka has long been one of those cities you just have to visit when in Japan with its bright lights and and so I was very pleasantly surprised to find one of these below. 🙂 It is also one of the largest metropolis in Japan and indeed, in the world so there’s so much to see and … Continue Reading

It’s absolutely amazing, chock-filled with fascinating historical sights and some of the most stunning natural beauty in all of South America.

European city breaks are hardly renowned for being affordable and kind to the wallet. A lot of that, however, is due to crowd mentality. We all wanna go where everybody else is going. Despite this, there are so many other cities in Europe that pack in as much charm and beauty as the old favourites … Continue Reading
This is some of the randomness that ensues when you come across sunflower fields. There is almost no rhyme or reason to this post. 🙂 I’d never really seen sunflowers grown on such a large scale before and we decided to stop to check them out. I think we may have arrived in Italy a … Continue Reading
Confession time: I’ve never really been a fan of mushrooms. I just find the taste a bit too ‘earthy’ (I typically describe them as tasting like mushy dirt). I can’t honestly tell you why either. In small quantities (e.g. mini pieces on a pizza), I can just about handle them but when you serve up a … Continue Reading
Carcassonne is one of those places I’d literally never heard of until just before we booked flights to. My friends and I were looking for a very long weekend getaway (as we do several times a year) and pretty much just scanned the internet for reasonably priced flights going anywhere. Carcassonne popped up as one … Continue Reading
Over the last couple of days, we’ve been exploring the length and breadth of the stunning Spanish island of Menorca.

Leaving those amazing views of Jerusalem at The Tower of David, we started off our visit to the old city of Jerusalem in the Armenian Quarter. Our visit to the Armenian quarter was fairly fleeting and more to get a sense of what it looked like. We didn’t see too much in terms of sights, … Continue Reading
