New York State is pretty special, with so much diversity, gorgeous landscapes and amazing hikes that are so much fun to explore. There’s a whole heap of the best things to do in New York State but it’s sometimes so easy to forget when you’ve got the bright lights of New York City. Now, let … Continue Reading
Knackered after a long flight from London into New York, I just wanted to get to the hotel and so we wasted no time in hopping into a taxi from JFK airport and headed straight for Wall Street (where the hotel was). We’d stayed at the hotel before and so I felt like I knew … Continue Reading
Arriving in the Dordogne Valley, I had no idea what to expect. We’d flown in from London after almost 2 months of travelling and this time, I’d left most of the planning to Lloyd. I was knackered upon arrival in Brive and pretty much slept all of the way from the airport till we got to … Continue Reading
The way we choose to travel and particularly where we plan on staying can be a very personal choice, with a number of factors that influence our decision making. Before I ever decide on where to go, I tend to set myself a very clear set of “guidelines” to help find the right place. For … Continue Reading
I have to admit one thing I love most about new cities is the food! I’m one of those people who just loves to eat (I wish I wasn’t) but truthfully, I’ve just learned to embrace my gluttony now…calories and all! Needless to say, this is what led me straight to the meat packing district … Continue Reading

The Cotswolds are renowned for being of the most sought after places to live in and indeed to holiday in, in the UK and rightly so. Every time we’ve been, it’s been the picturesque essence of British charm – even on dark and overcast days. The winding streets, ancient houses, cheerful people and acres of … Continue Reading
Okay, we’ve all been there, we’ve got over-ambitious plans to see and do everything when we travel. It’s kind of a given, especially if you want to explore and see as much of new cities and countries as humanly possible. That being said, there’s always that niggling critter of financing that tends to bite at … Continue Reading
From a country that has so many legendary kings (I’m shouting out the mythical Beowulf here), there are not quite as many castles as you’d imagine. That being said, the best castles in Sweden are pretty epic, even if they’re not in a huge abundance like some other European countries. Though let’s be honest, there … Continue Reading
*Warning: As with most of my posts from Croatia, this is another photo-heavy post. 🙂 Makarska is a small city by the sea in Croatia (not too far from Split) and is easily becoming one of the most popular holiday destinations in Croatia! When I visited, it was fairly easy to see why. The day … Continue Reading
WARNING: Do not click on this post (or scroll down further) if you can’t handle seeing fictional villains looking gory and having a great time! 😉 Decided you’re brave enough to proceed? Great!

Okay, so we all know there is more to the UK than a range of “old-world” castles, winding roads and rolling hills! There is so much more to our great country than that…We have an array of other awesome traditions and places to see, with the likes of the palaces of London, the gorgeous national … Continue Reading
There are loads of beautiful things to do in Samos. I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever said anything different when it comes to Greece and its beautiful islands. Samos is a little less known, unlike its more popular siblings of Corfu, Santorini or Mykonos. Though, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit. You’ll love it. This was … Continue Reading
Toronto’s Distillery District is one part of the city that’s definitely worth visiting – especially so when you’re absolutely ravenous. Suffice to say leaving Casa Loma with tummies growling, it didn’t take much convincing for us to hop in the taxi and head for the Distillery District, esta pronto! The distillery district spans across several … Continue Reading
