Waking up bright and early after yesterday’s adventure and headed straight for breakfast before our visit to the Shirayama-Hime Shrine to begin our Misogi water purification ritual. As we strolled up to the shrine in Hakusan City, it dawned on me how special our Misogi experience was going to be. I’d never experienced any kind … Continue Reading

When we visited Copenhagen, two things struck me! Firstly, how friendly Danish people are and, secondly, that you need a guide to visiting Copenhagen. It’s a city that can swallow up your time and it’s so easy to get bamboozled with all the amazing things to do once you’re there. This is exactly why I … Continue Reading

Fresh off the high of that amazing Maldivian sunset (champagne-fuelled) cruise at the amazing Kandolhu island, we headed off for cocktails by moonlight (which somehow seems even more special than cocktails by bar-light 😉 ), before heading out to dinner.

My very first experience in Austria was a ski trip to Zell am See which somehow managed to turn into a full-scale obsession with this amazing country. Photo after photo on Pinterest further fuelled this obsession and just in case you were wondering why you should go to Austria or what you should get up … Continue Reading
We arrived in Florence ridiculously late. We’d been so distracted by San Miniato (and that sunset) and ended up spending a few hours winding through the Tuscan mountains in the dark until we got to our hotel for the night.

It effectively cuts across America and is arguably the most famous highway in … Continue Reading
Toronto was a total surprise to me… In a great way, obviously! It’s one of those cities that you visit that just feels so buzzing as soon as you arrive and a place that I’m already itching to get back to. Now, one of the things that makes it so special is some of the best … Continue Reading
