We’ve just come back from Portugal where we spend a few days in Cascais (and Sintra). Now, Cascais and Sintra are very close to Lisbon and usually visited by as part of a trip to Lisbon but seeing as we had been to Lisbon already, coupled with the fact that we had very limited time to spend … Continue Reading
The Giri Cafe – quaint, beautiful cafe by day, amazing restaurant by night! But more on that in a moment… Instead, let’s step back a couple of hours to The Giri Residence (the most amazing luxury hotel owned by the same people) where we’d decided to try on the 24 hour breakfast. Essentially, rather than you … Continue Reading
It’s Spanish tapas… not as you know it! From the moment I first heard about Sa Brisa in Ibiza (or was it when I first saw photos of it…?), I knew I had to check this out at some point in between having what turned out to be a rather lazy day at the Giri for my birthday, I mustered … Continue Reading
It’s gotta be said, lazy days in Ibiza, feel like they’re almost mandatory. Doesn’t matter where you are on the island or even why you came, there’s always a more chilled vibe during the day time in Ibiza (swiftly followed by a manic, borderline-crazy energy at nights) which is so different from everyday life back … Continue Reading
Cancun, in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is hands-down a whole lotta fun! This is the perfect place to let your hair down, try every margarita available under the sun, party and even swim with whale sharks. There are countless reasons why Cancun is an amazing holiday destination (and of course, why you should head there for … Continue Reading
For me, Norway’s true appeal lies far from the bright lights of its cities, like Oslo (though that’s amazing too). That being said, Bergen is a bit of an exception though with its UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen and this amazing view at Floyen. Seriously, nowhere else in the world looks or feels just like … Continue Reading
Confession time: I’ve never really been a fan of mushrooms. I just find the taste a bit too ‘earthy’ (I typically describe them as tasting like mushy dirt). I can’t honestly tell you why either. In small quantities (e.g. mini pieces on a pizza), I can just about handle them but when you serve up a … Continue Reading
If Collonges La Rouge is France’s most beautiful village, then Rocamadour is definitely its most dramatic! Unlike Collonges La Rouge, which turned out to be quite a surprise visit on our trip through the Dordogne Valley, Rocamadour was one I had been looking forward to from the start! Pinterest had me fawning about this village … Continue Reading
There are so many amazing things to see in the Faroe Islands. I mean, where do you start. It’s a tiny archipelago that packs a hefty punch in experiences for us travellers. From a whole heap of waterfalls, more sheep than people and an incredible lake that sits on the edge of a cliff, the … Continue Reading
You’ve seen our complete guide to planning your own Great British Road Trip and you’ve probably even seen some of the places we visited on our Facebook or Instagram but we’ve put together a little vlog of our time exploring some of the amazing delights and sights the South of England has to offer. We … Continue Reading
The UNESCO World site of Sigiriya (Lion Rock) in Sri Lanka has quite the view and is justifiably one of the most visited sites in Sri Lanka but there’s a view to rival this just across the road from here and I’d like to show you why! First things first though, after that hike up … Continue Reading
We arrived in Valencia fairly late in the evening and although it wasn’t quite midnight, by the time, we were picked up at the airport, checked into the hotel and got ready for dinner, it was getting closer and closer to midnight. By this point though, past experience had already taught us to expect dinner fairly … Continue Reading
One of the most surprising things about the Canary Island of Fuerteventura is without a doubt its ever-changing landscape. One minute you’re sailing through clear blue water, the next you’re running through endless sand dunes and before you know it, you’re surrounded by absolutely stunning mountains and rolling hills (very akin to the Atlas mountains … Continue Reading
After a day of hiking many-a-mountain (okay, fine – just two mountains), we spent the rest of that evening in Sri Lanka having calming Ayruveda massages and dining on as much delicious Sri Lankan food as we could lay our hands on (which was quite a lot). ^Above is where you have the massages by … Continue Reading
