The South of France is home to some of the most beautiful towns, villages and cities in all of France so my excitement was probably pretty understandable when we headed over to Montpellier for a weekend in France’s Occitanie region. We arrived pretty late at night so we didn’t do much in the city the … Continue Reading
After our morning spent hiking up to Arco castle, the only thing I had on my mind once we hopped back into the car was food! I wanted lunch… and lots of it too! We drove over to Drena for a taste of traditional Italian food that’s pretty typical to this part of Northern Italy. … Continue Reading
I genuinely enjoy winter – there’s something so lovely about staying in and wrapping up warm when it’s so bitterly cold outside. There’s also how beautiful everything gets when it snows. Well, that is until Christmas time is over and done with and, after a few weeks of rather grey weather in London (with no … Continue Reading
After that amazing lunch, well-fed and tummies bulging to show for it, we traipsed through town toward York Minster – the utterly beautiful cathedral which we had made a mission to climb this very afternoon! In retrospect, it would probably have made sense to climb it the day before as the sun was shining but … Continue Reading
After our full day exploring Calgary (and eating our way through it), it was finally time to bid the city farewell and head out into the Canadian Rocky Mountains of Alberta. Canadian cities are great fun (especially if you know the best places to eat, drink and dance) but the great outdoors is without a … Continue Reading
I feel like this post is gonna be more of a photo diary than anything else because of how utterly beautiful this part of Canada is. Like I could try describing it to you but it’s just one of those places/experiences that are better shown than described really. (There are, after all, only so many … Continue Reading
I love a good road trip! It’s just such a great way to explore a new destination. You get to see and explore so much more than you would normally and have the flexibility to make your trip whatever you want it to be. This is in large part what fuelled my excitement to go … Continue Reading
Our first day in Germany was one filled with lots of excitement! See a mere 48 hours before, we weren’t even sure we’d be able to make it to Germany and after weeks of being stuck at home, unable to travel. As such an opportunity to get to travel (to places we were officially allowed … Continue Reading
By our fourth day in Merida in Mexico, it felt like we’d pretty much seen most of the major sites to see in Merida (especially on this day and then on this day for the incredible cenotes and Mayan ruins just outside of Merida) but there was one place that we still hadn’t covered yet … Continue Reading
Finland is so much more than Nokia, Angry Birds or even Santa, for that matter. So, there’s every reason why you need to visit Finland. I hadn’t done much research before hopping on the plane. This is totally shameful, I know, but I really wanted to just explore the regions without any firm plans. As you … Continue Reading
The first place we went to, upon arrival in Iceland (and after picking up the rental car) was The Blue Lagoon. It’s always been a dream of mine to come here and as it was quite an early flight, I was really looking forward to just relaxing on the first day. I honestly can not recommend … Continue Reading
Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and easily the most romantic cities in Italy. I know Paris is well-known for being ‘the romantic city’ but don’t be fooled, Venice easily rivals Paris for this title. Plus it has amazing ice creams so for me. It absolutely wins! 🙂 Venice is so … Continue Reading
My first meal in (albeit on my second trip to) Amsterdam was a KFC meal. I felt so guilty afterwards but, I thought to myself, “I’ve been to Amsterdam before and the KFC branch is just right there… and I’m really starving”. Needless to say, I rationalised it to myself and 30 minutes later, carb-ed up and … Continue Reading
The final part of the Nordic expedition and the home of the Nobel prize – Oslo! Didn’t find any old Vikings however did find some trolls! 🙂 Nice start to the expedition I say…hehe!!! Excited to be in Oslo… clearly! Time for a gander about town… …before wrestling a statue for my scarf! Lloyd … Continue Reading
