Croatia is one country I’d always wanted to visit! I mean, who wouldn’t, right? To be honest, I was kind of concerned that I’d overhyped it all in my head and was worried about being disappointed once we arrived. How wrong I was! Croatia lived up to (and was even more) amazing than I could … Continue Reading

After spending a good six years studying in Fife, I’ve come to call this area of Scotland my second home. I mean, who wouldn’t? Unlike the vast mountain ranges of the Scottish Highlands, Fife is much more easterly meaning a little less rain and a lot more of those gorgeous rolling hills. Now, over my … Continue Reading

Our first trip of the year took all the way to lakes and snowy Alps of Switzerland – more specifically to Interlaken before heading over to quite a few amazing places in Valais (more on those in other blog posts). We arrived into Interlaken via Zurich (we took the train from there) and after checking … Continue Reading

Perched in the middle-ish of Continental Europe, Switzerland is a proper diverse country that’s way more than its snow-capped mountains (which are amazing by the way). Now, if you’re anything like me, a trip to a new country will always involve a little exploration, going beyond one place to experience the best places in Switzerland… … Continue Reading

A weekend escape to the Cotswolds is something that almost everyone needs to experience in the UK –  doesn’t matter if you call the UK home or if you’re just visiting, you just have to visit. 😀 This beautiful part of England is absolutely gorgeous (a word I used a lot over the next few … Continue Reading

After a brilliant night’s sleep in Interlaken, we got up bright and early and made our way over to Niederhorn for a day of ski fun! Niederhorn is your obvious ski spot. I mean, it is, but typically, it’s more so for the locals than it is for travellers. There aren’t really ski lodges here … Continue Reading

The next morning in the Cotswold, I woke up with no aim but to cram in as many pretty little villages and towns in the Cotswolds as possible into my day. After breakfast at the Royal Oak, we set off to do just that, starting with an old favourite of mine – Bibury and it’s … Continue Reading

If you’ve ever wanted to stay in an igloo then you’ve really gotta see this place in Switzerland. Nestled right next to the Matterhorn, the igloo in Zermatt is one unique experience you should try even if it’s just for one night! Yes, the rooms can be a little frosty but you’ll warm up with … Continue Reading

When it finally came round to skiing in Zermatt, I just didn’t want to. I don’t even know the exact moment that changed but if I had to guess, it was probably when I put my ski boots on. See, I have very wide feet and so I struggle to find, not just comfortable ski … Continue Reading

It’s no surprise how much I relish a good Italian trip. I mean, it’s one of those countries that I could visit every week If I could (and I’m already itching to get back). Now, the thing I love most has to be all the unique places in Italy, I’d even go as far as … Continue Reading

To say that the Amalfi Coast of Italy is beautiful is something of an understatement. With so many of the best things to do in the Amalfi Coast, you’ll be spoilt for choice and will need to prioritise what and how you actually want to see. It’s the kind of place you visit and know … Continue Reading

The best hikes in Ireland are without a doubt those that leave you absolutely in awe of the stunning natural beauty the country is so famous for. This is especially true with all the best hikes in Ireland that are dotted all across the county, too. You see, those green rolling hills, jagged and dramatic … Continue Reading

Our next stop after Zermatt was to Val d’Herens, more specifically to the village of Nax, a spot up in the mountains with an incredible view of the surrounding valleys! Easy as it was to get on the train here – after our day of skiing, I was surprisingly quite knackered! We checked into the … Continue Reading

Breakfast on our final morning in the Cotswolds started (…after a nice bath) with eggs royale for myself and gggs & soldiers for Lloyd. All washed down with some freshly brewed coffee. The Royal Oak is a fairly small and intimate place (I think there are only 6 rooms in total) so you’re quite likely … Continue Reading
