1.) PLAN! PLAN!! PLAN!!!: Decide on where you want to go in advance, things you’d like to do, sights you’d like to see – pretty much everything possible! It takes the pressure off the actual holiday and you can actually spend the time enjoying the holiday rather than trying to put together a plan of … Continue Reading
There’s a lot of information out there about solo travel (including how great it is) but I have to admit, given half the chance, I’d much rather travel with friends. This is not a judgement about solo travel (in fact it has very little do with it as I’ve done solo travel quite a bit … Continue Reading
Heads up – this isn’t my usual blog post but I have to make an exception as I really want to share this with you. I have no idea who said this originally but I couldn’t agree with it more (if you do know who wrote/said this, please do let me know). I suppose this … Continue Reading
One of my favourite things about travel is the opportunity to see new things! Sure, there’s the whole hassle of planing the actual logistics of the trip (which contrary to how that sounds, I actually enjoy) and not to mention the dent that travel can make to your wallet but once these barriers are crossed … Continue Reading

One of the best ways of truly living your dream and going after the kind of life you want, is to learn skills you need to take you there.

Any thing that can help you or I in (any shape possible) to travel and see more of the world is always an easy “YES”! I was literally thinking about travel hacks when I came across this list which pretty much hits the nail on the head when it comes to travel hacks everyone should … Continue Reading
These words struck such a cord with me as they are very much in line with the first point I made in this post here. Here’s hoping these sage words of wisdom courtesy of Meryl Streep gives you some strength, courage or even a bit of cheering up this week… “I no longer have patience for certain … Continue Reading
House hunting in London is one of the most stressful things you can do in the UK. It is probably what whoever coined the term “Rat Race” had in mind when he/she did. It’s genuinely exhausting and unbelievably time-consuming but after moving homes quite a few times in London, I’ve become something of an old … Continue Reading
Today, while I was randomly perusing Pinterest (and simultaneous nursing my post-lunch food belly), I came across a couple of rather interesting photography cheat sheets that I haven’t seen around but which I find pretty much on the money. Usually I’m not a fan of sharing infographics or anything that looks remotely like one (I’m not … Continue Reading
Sometimes, it’s so easy to get distracted by everything that’s going on around you that you lose sight of who you truly are.

It’s a random topic to post about but I’ve noticed this pretty much everywhere I’ve been (even in the UK which is pretty liberal and progressive), a woman/girl who speaks her mind is not always going to … Continue Reading
Group holidays can be the best or the worst type of holidays to go on. A great test of your friendship is to go on holidays with said friends and if you come back, even stronger friends, then it’s safe to say that it was meant to be! Well, you don’t need to leave everything … Continue Reading
