The day was a particularly hot day in Singapore… perhaps no hotter than average but when you’re still getting used to the heat and have been walking around in the heat, it starts to get pretty uncomfortable. Originally, we were looking for a beach but after getting lost in our search for the beach, we happened upon … Continue Reading
Thoroughly impressed by the Ice Castles of Edmonton, we made our way back to town grab some well-earned lunch at an old school Mexican restaurant called Rostizado. (Edmontonians love Mexican food as it turns out). Rostizado is designed to feel more like dining at a friend’s place, than at a restaurant (right down to the … Continue Reading
I’ve got one question for you! Why had no one told me how beautiful San Sebastian is? I love a beautiful city as much as next traveller but for some reason or the other, I’d never quite made it to San Sebastian – this all changed however when we visited The Basque Country. But you … Continue Reading
Woohoo!!! I’ve wanted to visit Copenhagen for quite a while now and I’m so pleased we’re here! Georgia, Yaya, Chris and I just arrived into our hotel (which is amazing by the way – can’t wait to show you what it looks like) and we’re off to see the city in a few minutes but … Continue Reading
Heads up – this is a pretty long (and very photo heavy post) so you might wanna grab a cuppa tea (or a glass of wine? No judgement) before you get started! (*As I’m currently writing this in Ireland I’ve got a pint of Guinness in front of me so I bid you a virtual … Continue Reading
I’d always been mildly intrigued about doing a Via Ferrata in Italy. I’d seen incredible photos and videos on the internet of people doing them and lazily wondered what it would be like to do one. Thet mild intrigue soon turned into trepidation once we booked ourselves onto an actual Via Ferrata in Garda Trentino … Continue Reading
Now any Game of Thrones fan worth their salt knows Croatia plays a key role in the series. A lot of Daenerys’ scenes were shot here in Split and scenes from Kings Landing were shot in Dubrovnik. It’s very easy to take for granted while watching the series the reason behind the location choices on … Continue Reading
Just in case you somehow missed the TV adverts, street lights and holiday sales promotions – Christmas time’s just around the corner! And no one does Christmas markets quite like the Germans… One of my favourite things around the holiday season is to visit a German Christmas market. I was a late arrival on the whole … Continue Reading
After a brilliant day in colourful Tubingen, we decided to head over to Esslingen for what was supposed to be one of the best Christmas markets in town. Esslingen is confusingly a city within the wider Stuttgart region (only ‘confusing’ because of the whole city within a city thing – in reality, it couldn’t be … Continue Reading

As it turns out, spending the morning exploring the gorgeous Ludwigsburg Palace works up quite the appetite (which totally took me by surprise as one minute, I was perfectly fine and the next, those hunger pangs hit with a surprising ferociousness). With that, we headed over to the gallery in the Schlossplatz (*though clearly, not … Continue Reading
Brittany is one part of France that has always fascinated me; and for very good reason. For starters, there’s that name – Brittany, which to the uninitiated would sound like it was linked in some way to Great Britain. And they wouldn’t be wrong either. In addition to Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Cornwall and the Isle … Continue Reading
Hey!!! We’ve just arrived in the airport in Reykjavik and I just had to write this post rather quickly. (The next challenge will be to actually find WiFi so I can post this!) This is a rather quick update to let you know we’ve just arrived in Iceland and as you can imagine -it’s… er… … Continue Reading
