One place I’d always wanted to visit in Norway was Tromso. It’s one of the highest places you can visit – not just in Europe but in the world, so much so that it’s in the Arctic circle! Unlike other parts of the Arctic circle, there’s no chance of you running into polar bears here … Continue Reading
The best thing about European spa breaks is how indulgent they can be. I mean, there’s something to be said for going for a pampering day (heck, even a weekend) where all you have to think about is how hard you want your message. As I’m becoming ‘longer in the tooth’, I’ve properly embraced the … Continue Reading

I have a confession to make. I have never been skiing. Initially, I just couldn’t be arsed with the cold – actually, that coupled with the fact that I’m not the most graceful person on ice generally put me off wanting to ski. Over the past few years, the desire to ski has grown in … Continue Reading
