The next morning at Kuramathi began as all good mornings in the Maldives should – with lots of sunshine and a mountain of breakfast! Shortly after, we hopped aboard what I guess is the lazy man’s way to snorkel – a sub-submarine. (There’s no way I could have snorkelled right after eating the amount of … Continue Reading
The next morning, after a rather hurried breakfast (I got the timings wrong and we just missed breakfast – thankfully the kind folk at the Metterra Hotel rustled something up for us from the kitchen), we headed off to Downton Edmonton to try our hands at something new – segwaying. I tend to be more … Continue Reading
The next day in Edmonton was a truly lazy one and one that comes off the back of a night out in the city. It started with a late breakfast at the hotel (random aside – the Metterra Hotel also has happy hour, before a leisurely stroll through the farmers market in Old Strathcona (partly … Continue Reading
Regardless of where you’re from in the world, Bali is one of those places that just conjures up images of tropical paradise. Bali a pretty popular destination and anyone who’s familiar with this Indonesian island will be quick to point out that there’s no way you can see all of the sights in a short … Continue Reading
We all deserve a cheeky getaway, right? whether that is for a little escapism, a special treat or just an excuse to hop over to the cheapest places to visit in Europe. That being said, price and how much things cost can actually have a big impact on your time away. Thankfully, travelling across Europe … Continue Reading
I’ve got a real soft spot for Singapore, not just because it was ‘home’ for six months but because it’s a much more diverse, culturally rich and cooler city than most people think. Of course, you’ve got the glitzy marina, the amazing glossy buildings but there is so much more to Singapore, with unique experiences … Continue Reading
Leaving the Metterra hotel, as we hurried through breakfast, eager to hit the road early, I remembered something we’d missed out on the entire time we stayed there – Happy hour. And no, not the kind of happy hour where the drinks are half-price – it’s the kind where the drinks are free! I suddenly … Continue Reading
Free travel is amazing, right? Most of us love to travel for free, to see the world and to explore new cultures and if you’re anything like me, you’ll always be on the lookout for the next place to experience. You’ll no doubt have seen all those fluffy magazine articles that say “This girl travels … Continue Reading
One place I really wanted to visit once we arrived in Jasper was to visit and go hiking Maligne Canyon! Thing is, even up to a few days before we left London for Alberta, I’d never even heard of Maligne and its famous canyon. Once I heard about it though, I knew I had to … Continue Reading
Doesn’t matter if you’ve been before or if you’re a first-timer, the South of France is amazing to visit. Not only that, there are heaps of the best places to visit in the south of France dotted all across the coastline and inland regions. From the stunning beaches, and amazing Mediterranean cuisine to a plethora … Continue Reading
When we arrived in Jasper, we’d originally had a whole day set aside for skiing in Marmot Basin. With the change of plans on the first day which saw us explore the amazing Pyramid Island, lake and mountain area, before heading off to the Icefields Parkway instead of Maligne Canyon and hence moving Maligne Canyon … Continue Reading
Most times, when you look at guides to Sintra or top sights to see in Sintra, Monserrate Palace (and it’s surrounding parks) are overlooked and yet, from speaking to locals in nearby Cascais (a lovely seaside town), this is one sight that needs to be seen in Sintra and so, with that in mind, we … Continue Reading
After leaving, the beauty that is Pena Palace, we headed over to our next sight in Sintra – the Moorish Castle (or The Castle of The Moors – depending on which version of the name you prefer). The Moorish palace is actually a short walk from Pena Palace (or at least, from the entrance of … Continue Reading
On our final day in Jasper, we got up nice and early, in huge part to maximise our time at breakfast but mostly due to attempting to squeeze in as much of Jasper as possible before heading back to Edmonton in the afternoon. We started pretty much immediately after breakfast with what was supposed to … Continue Reading
