I’m always on the look out for gadget, gizmos and quirky accessories that help make travel that extra bit more fun. Now, while none of these things are things you needs, they the kinda stuff that once you have, you start to wonder how you ever coped without them. Anyway, without further ado, here are … Continue Reading
Before we get started though (here’s a heads up), you need one thing if you’re gonna do it this way – flexibility. (You’ll see why later). I’m not talking about flexibility in the sense of being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want (let’s face it, most of us have work or lifestyle schedules which … Continue Reading
As you already know, we’d been planning on going skiing and we have arrived in Austria to do just that! By now you already know the drill and know that I will be keeping you updated on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with all the details and no doubt hilarity that will ensue from what is actually my first … Continue Reading
After we left the Frost and Fire hotel, we headed straight for our next stop and a personal favourite of mine – Seljalandsfoss en-route to Hotel Skogafoss for lunch. Seljalandsfoss is the waterfall in Iceland where you can walk behind and I was excited to visit again. It’s safe to say Georgia was pretty fascinated … Continue Reading
Cinque Terre is one of those icon places in Italy that had been on my travel list for many many years (thank you, Pinterest). I probably recognised the pictures of the gorgeous Italian towns before I actually even knew their names. Determined to visit, we hurriedly booked flights over to Pisa and drove over to … Continue Reading
It wasn’t really ‘a day’ as much as it was ‘an evening’ as we had to hurriedly drop the car at the airport in Pisa and make our way over to Florence via other means. This was by bus to be exact. See, the train has issues, it kinda works but you still have to … Continue Reading
I kid you not. And it’s apparently really good. It’s got lions and tigers and bears (oh my!)… and other animals of course – elephants, rhinos, giraffes… the lot! Until a week ago, I had no idea until my brother mentioned it to me. With Scotland’s dramatically beautiful landscape, it makes sense that if there … Continue Reading
Summer’s officially here (even though the last of Spring weather is still around in bits and pieces all across Europe) and to celebrate the start of summer (and to also drag you into our latest summer obsession), I’ve put together a list of places you should definitely consider going to for a beach holiday this … Continue Reading
So, I spent last week in France (as you can probably tell from our Instagram) and it was something of a strange week. On one side, I had a rather weird experience (absolutely unrelated to France) which I will share with you once I get round to writing about it properly but on the flip … Continue Reading
If money was no object of course! 🙂 The other day, I got an exciting email – it was an email from UK’s official lottery saying a ticket I’d played had just won. I kid you not, I immediately started day-dreaming about all the amazing “If money was no object” type holidays that I could have. … Continue Reading
I recently happened upon a place which looks too good to keep just to myself. I was watching Ex-Machina recently and in a theme that has been consistent this year – i.e. my deep love of Norway and it’s amazing natural treasures, I found myself taken with the hotel/house/building featured in the film. The film … Continue Reading
New Orleans is one of those incredible cities that you don’t forget easily. Its buzzing energy and (without sounding too corny) its soul seem to stay with you long after you leave. I stayed a few short days in New Orleans, before heading west too, “Houston, Texas… baby!” (Sorry, I couldn’t resist a Beyonce song … Continue Reading
Everybody likes a treat now and then… me included! The thing I like most about treats is that they usually involve something special… something you have always wanted to do, stay, eat or try. On my lookout for nifty hotels, I came across Hotel Petit Moulin in Paris. I immediately fell in love with it! … Continue Reading
One of the challenges I came across when it came to packing for our trip across Italy was the fact that due to the fact that we’re using a rickshaw to drive across the country, I would have to be extra lean with my hand luggage allowance. My typical packing style is to pack all … Continue Reading
