Remember how I said on St Agnes Island, there’s a second island attached to it via a beach (which is actually officially called a ‘Tombolo’). Well, that island is called Gugh and so after lunch at the Turk’s head, we made our way straight for Gugh… but instead got distracted by the beach and decided to … Continue Reading
The name of the towns and villages in the Basque Country sure is a tongue twister! Luckily, they more than makeup for it in their sheer charm and beauty when you do visit so it’s definitely worth learning the name (and even a few Basque Country phrases to get you started). Hondarribia is one said … Continue Reading
It’s almost Halloween, that time of the year when you can pile on that fake blood, wear the most outrageous clothing, spray paint your hair green and party like it’s 1999! If you’re looking for an exciting evening of horrifying tomfoolery where you can embrace the scare-fest of the spookiest night of the year. This … Continue Reading
London has an array of amazing independent coffee houses, cocktail bars and venues that seem to pop up at a moment’s notice. As a Londoner, you have probably invested lots of your precious time and effort in finding a restaurant, bar or event that becomes ‘your place’. You had to go through the rough and … Continue Reading

Plus, you’ve got a heap of the best restaurants in Lisbon that are dotted all across the city, too. You’re going to … Continue Reading
Winter is coming, or at least that’s what John Snow keeps telling us! Well, that winter has finally reached London, minus the white walkers and the Lanisters at least… 😉 Unlike that raucous bunch in Game of Thrones, winter doesn’t have to be scary though in London. In fact, it can be a pretty magical … Continue Reading
There’s this philosophy that you know a place is really great on your travels when you find that it’s where the locals go to. As elitist as this sounds sometimes, it tends to turn out to be true and so I’ve learned to embrace this philosophy a little more than I probably would. One of … Continue Reading
As per our last post here (and if you’ve been on our Instagram or Twitter) lately, you’ll probably have seen that we’re in Madrid. This trip to Madrid has been a lot busier than initially thought. I had this silly idea in my head that a trip to Madrid in winter would be a lot … Continue Reading
The Isles of Scilly are a little-known (and some may say, secret) gem in the UK. Only 30 miles or so from Great Britain, the islands are basked in a tropical haze that we can only ever wish for in London!

Wales, where do I start? Honestly, for a relatively small country, it packs a mighty big punch when it comes to epic things to do in Wales.

Remember this video below we did with Airbnb Travel in Amsterdam a few months ago? Well, I was going through my photos from our time in Amsterdam and found some of the ‘behind the scenes’ photos that never quite made it to the blog (to be fair, I still have a lot of photos from that … Continue Reading
I’ve never been one to diet or watch my weight. I grew up eating whatever I wanted when I wanted and seemed to get away with it. This, of course, was until lately where I just noticed the pounds piling on an on and despite, what I have to admit now was a rather shoddy … Continue Reading
Our arrival in Ibiza was straight off the heels of our time wine tasting draaanking in Slovenia and, seeing as we wanted to make the most of the time there, we made the decision to leave on one of the earliest flights out of London to Ibiza. This seemed like such an amazing decision till we … Continue Reading
To get into the Dordogne Valley, you will most likely arrive at Brive or Bergerac airport (unless of course, if you drive in) and while there’s not an awful lot to do in Brive, it’s still worth a little visit, even if just for a few hours. To start, head over to the market for … Continue Reading
