Arriving at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel was akin to arriving at an oasis in the desert! For starters, the altitude in Aguas Calientes is a lot lower than Cusco so even at high altitude, it was just that extra bit easier to walk around (and even sprint) without running out of breath! Then there’s … Continue Reading

Panuati is one of Nepal’s oldest towns and one of its most important historically too – largely due to the fact that it’s pretty much been left the way the founders built the town. It’s not too far from Kathmandu either (it’s actually a commuter town for some people) so it makes for the perfect … Continue Reading

Day two in Vancouver! Technically, it’s day 3 but jet lag got the best of the very first day so Day 2 it is. Like I said, before, breakfast at the Shangri La Hotel in Vancouver is something of an event. It’s not something you rush – there’s no buffet – everything is made to … Continue Reading

The very next morning in Loch Shiel, after chatting and laughing the night away with the locals at the pub, there was nothing for it but a huge Scottish breakfast and a lazy slow and lazy morning exploring the area. I did say, we would be going on “Slow Adventures”! We got a few bikes, … Continue Reading

I have no idea how to make this post short so I’m not even gonna try! Once you see the photos from that flight to (and from) Whistler, you’ll understand why it was a struggle to stop taking photos – that place is gorgeous. Suffice to say, your obligatory tea and biscuits (oh, what the … Continue Reading

The best thing about European spa breaks is how indulgent they can be. I mean, there’s something to be said for going for a pampering day (heck, even a weekend) where all you have to think about is how hard you want your message. As I’m becoming ‘longer in the tooth’, I’ve properly embraced the … Continue Reading

Weihnachtszauber am Gendarmenmarkt is arguably the best Christmas market in Berlin! The location alone, right outside Berlin’s Konzerthaus (and next two of it’s most iconic churches – Neue Kirche a.k.a. Deutscher Dom and Französischer Dom, the German and French churches, respectively) makes it one of the best spots to be in the city during the … Continue Reading

The next morning in Montgenevre, even just by the sun in the sky and the cloudless blue skies, we knew before rushing downstairs for breakfast that the ski conditions would be absolutely fantastic.

It’s been a while since I’ve visited a place and just felt like I wanted, nay – needed, to stay for much longer. Typically, I plan my time well enough on my travels (at least, well enough for me) that when ‘home time’ comes rolling on, I’m very content and happy to head back home. … Continue Reading
