My friend had been saying for months (almost a whole year actually) that she wanted to celebrate her birthday somewhere outside of the UK and as amazing as the idea was, the process of organising flights and accommodation for even 4 people is daunting to me at the best of times let alone organising for a … Continue Reading

These were taken earlier on when it was still blisteringly cold in Brussels. Brussels is one of my favourite places to visit and I would be lying if I said Belgian Waffles had nothing to do with it! Indeed, every time I’ve been to Brussels, the very first thing I do is eat like 1,000 … Continue Reading

One of the most exciting parts of travelling is discovering new and rarely ventured travel destinations that are true gems and offer an experience you can’t get in many other places. This holds for a lot of French villages. The cities while offering all the mod-cons we have grown accustomed to, sometimes lack that true … Continue Reading

Just in case you somehow missed the TV adverts, street lights and holiday sales promotions –  Christmas time’s just around the corner!

I was a late arrival on the whole … Continue Reading

Excited wrapping Christmas presents and prepping for New Year’s Eve parties. I found these photos from New Year’s Eve fireworks in London and thought I’d best take a quick break from wrapping presents and drinking more mulled wine than is advisable to share these photos with you! Unsurprisingly, on this particularly cold evening, the fireworks … Continue Reading

I went skiing for the first time recently – you probably know this from this post here (and here) and my countless Instagram, Facebook and Twitter updates. Before going skiing, we did all the typical planning – get ski gear, find our how to get to the town, sort out ski passes, figure out where … Continue Reading

If you have been following our Instagram updates from the last week, you would have noticed that we had a marvellous opportunity to visit Bergen, Norway, which was a dream come true! Bergen has been on our lists of city-lust list for quite some time…. And it is with no surprise that I was happy … Continue Reading

It wasn’t really ‘a day’ as much as it was ‘an evening’ as we had to hurriedly drop the car at the airport in Pisa and make our way over to Florence via other means. This was by bus to be exact. See, the train has issues, it kinda works but you still have to … Continue Reading

When we visited Copenhagen, two things struck me! Firstly, how friendly Danish people are and, secondly, that you need a guide to visiting Copenhagen. It’s a city that can swallow up your time and it’s so easy to get bamboozled with all the amazing things to do once you’re there.  This is exactly why I … Continue Reading

It’s been a while since I’ve had one of these kinda days in London… London is glorious in summer time!

After lunch on our second day in Croatia, we wandered off from the restaurant to another part of the building where I discovered where they kept their homemade wine… And as though that wasn’t enough, I found out where the prosciutto was cured too! To be fair, I was led there by my sense of … Continue Reading

As you’ve seen in so many posts now, I’m obsessed with Norway’s many fjords. I’ve wanted to see them for ages and they most certainly live up to the hype. They’re absolutely breathtaking and worth travelling across the world to see. That being said, Norway also has an astonishing 1,190 Fjords (saaaaay whaaaaaaaat?) and so … Continue Reading
