Just south of the states of Minnesota and east of Nebraska, Iowa is a pretty special region of the United States to visit. Yes, it might not have the ‘popular’ draw of states like California or New York, but it really should! Not only that, there are heaps of the best places in Iowa to … Continue Reading
A trip to Cape Verde is definitely one I recommend! I had an amazing time on this gem of an island and have put together a little guide to the amazing holiday destination. Cape Verde boasts pristine sandy beaches and amazing sand dunes – the water on the beach is the perfect temperature and the people … Continue Reading
The first place we went to, upon arrival in Iceland (and after picking up the rental car) was The Blue Lagoon. It’s always been a dream of mine to come here and as it was quite an early flight, I was really looking forward to just relaxing on the first day. I honestly can not recommend … 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
It’s that time of the year again! The summer party holiday season is here (or around the corner for some). Holiday-time with friends and the general opportunity to let your hair down and de-stress coupled with the promise of having a crazy (in a good way) time with your friends is definitely one of the … Continue Reading
You’ve got 10 hours to see the sights in Bali. Okay, the reason you have 10 hours is that you have the car on hire for 10 hours. Well, 9 hours really but you know how to stretch things and get some extra time… And here’s how you do it! First off visit with the … Continue Reading
Las Vegas is awesome and a holiday to Las Vegas is one you can do all year round on account of the amazing weather it has (it’s effectively in the dessert to be fair). This is exactly why I wanted to share an essential guide to visiting Las Vegas. After all, there’s a heap of … Continue Reading
Bit of background, I’ve been quite lucky to have spent the last few months living outside of the UK. Funnily enough, for all my love of travelling, I’d never been to Asia before and so this was a summer of firsts. The first opportunity I got, I packed as much travel as possible into every … Continue Reading
My last post on things I wished I knew a year ago has been one of the most personally rewarding posts I’ve had the pleasure of writing. It was a chance to get a few things off my chest (and perhaps help a few people?). I’ve gotten so many amazing tweets, emails and messages regarding … Continue Reading
Everyone who knew who Maya Angelou was, is (and probably will be for a long time) in awe of her. This is nothing new. She went through so much and yet she came out of the other side, stronger, wiser and a beacon of light and hope for several generations. Growing up, I had always … Continue Reading
I know this isn’t our typical post and you’d be right. This is more of a personal post but I have been overwhelmed by messages of congratulations on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter about my graduation from The University of Cambridge this weekend that I just had to share the full set of photos with you! It … Continue Reading
“Where???” you ask. Palawan is a set of islands in the Philippines that can easily and rather justifiably be described as one of the most naturally beautiful places you can ever visit. Well, this made us book some flights and get ourselves over here for a little exploring; and we loved it. Whilst it’s a … Continue Reading
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris needs no introduction. It is one of the most famous landmarks in Paris and one of its most visited sights. It is impressive in pictures but even more impressive to see in person. I was going through my photos in Paris from a few months ago and I found these … Continue Reading
Norway is one of those countries whose beauty constantly surprises me. I know part of it is down to my expectations (it gets really cold and dark over winter, it’s very expensive…and so on and so forth) but I wasn’t expecting to find myself falling in love with it more and more each time I … Continue Reading
