Right, now where was I? Oh yes, carrying on from the first part of this post, our starters had just arrived at The Connoisseur Bar in the Guinness Storehouse and they’d disappeared down our greedy gobs much quicker than they’d arrived! Next up, we had the wild atlantic seafood chowder with a sprinkling of Carragheen Irish … Continue Reading
Iceland is a total dream country to visit, especially if you’re keen on the kind of trip that’s a little different from a beach or tropical holiday. That being said, it’s totally huge (much bigger than you might think)! So, I wanted to share our 1-week itinerary to visit Iceland that’ll help you along your … Continue Reading
And in particular, in Central Dalmatia! With over 1,000 islands, the Dinaric Alps and historic cities such as Dubrovnik and Split, Croatia is a destination that you’ll no doubt have considered visiting. If you’re anything like me the hardest thing you’ll surely come across is figuring out what you’ll have to leave out of your … Continue Reading
If you’ve been on Instagram, then it probably comes as no surprise to you that we’ve been in the Cotswolds all weekend! I’ve wanted to take a trip back to the Cotswolds for quite some time now (I think this was the last time I spent a weekend there) and we got to do that properly … Continue Reading
We’ve all been there, yeah? You’ve been longing to explore London, you’ve discovered where to find the best views in London and even planned which of the London markets to explore. That being said, you’ve got to visit London on a budget – after all, that money doesn’t come for free. Its happened to me … Continue Reading
There are so many great reasons to visit Norway. In fact, I’d even go as far as saying it’s probably hard to find a reason not to! (Yup, even the cold isn’t an excuse as it gets incredibly warm in summer). Like other Nordic countries (here’s looking at you Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Denmark), Norway is one … Continue Reading
Straight after our afternoon sampling, all the Guinness storehouse had to offer (see part 1 here and part 2 here), we headed back to the hotel which was understandably rather festively decorated. Maybe I’d just been away from London for so long and missed it but it definitely seemed like the Irish (or at least … Continue Reading
France is an absolutely beautiful country to explore. With all the incredible places in Paris to see, beautiful spots in Provence and beautiful regions like Brittany, France has it all. This is even more true when it comes to the iconic chateaus and best castles in France that are dotted all across the country. Over … Continue Reading
Whenever you visit any city, especially if it’s for a weekend, it always makes sense to stay right in the centre of all the attraction. Okay, not smack bang in the middle but definitely close enough that you don’t end up spending you’re precious holiday time commuting to see all the sights. With this in … 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! Yes, you read that correctly, the islands are a tropical gem that is perfect … Continue Reading
Yup! We just arrived today and I’m already falling head over heels in love with this French city! See, I’d only ever gone past Lille on the way to Brussels or Amsterdam (also via Brussels) and I’d always been curious so we decided it was finally time to visit. We zoomed up to Lille in … Continue Reading
Our trip to the Basque Country in Spain was definitely one of the most memorable trips we’ve had. We got to make new friends, eat lots of different and amazing foods to our heart’s contents and become a lot more open to travel. In the past, I’d (like everyone else I suppose) been particularly keen … Continue Reading
Suffice it to say, it’s not just visitors to our amazing city that’ll want to explore some of these unusual places, even us Londoners forget what’s on our doorstep every now and again. One of the things I love most about London is that there’s always something new and interesting to discover. Whether that’s some … Continue Reading
It’s safe to say this was a trip we’d been looking forward to for a while, and seeing as we had only two nights to spend in Madrid, we figured we might as well make it count and go for a hotel that definitely stands out. That hotel happened to be the Hotel Urso in Madrid’s … Continue Reading
