Hands down, Puglia is one of the best regions in Italy to visit for a holiday. Not only does it have some of the prettiest Italian cities, but it’s also one of the most iconic spots in Southern Italy that are just too gorgeous to miss. With the iconic trulli houses around Alberobello, coastal … Continue Reading
The very next morning in the Scottish Highlands, after a brilliant night’s sleep at Bydand, we hurriedly scrambled for breakfast and a chance to hit the Scottish roads bright and early. At breakfast, I made what turned out to be a rookie mistake. I assumed the selection of yoghurts, cereals, fresh fruits and other snacks … Continue Reading
After living in Edinburgh for 4 years, I can safely say (without a shadow of a doubt) that the city is amazing! It’s one of those places that has so much going on, so many places to see, a huge swash of history, epic bars and some incredible things to do in Edinburgh. It really … 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
Honestly, I’d never been more grateful to have the heated seats in our rental car, especially as it was an early morning start to visit Crathes Castle in Scotland. The temperatures had plummeted overnight and, hopping back into the car, I can’t tell you how nice it was to not be sitting in freezing leather seats … Continue Reading
There’s something so gorgeous about England and yes, I am slightly biased. After growing up in Wales, studying in Scotland, I finally set down some roots in England. From the rolling hills and villages in the Cotswolds to England’s historic castles; the whole country is so diverse. That being said, let’s not forget some of the … Continue Reading
Germany, like Norway, is one of those places where the locals (pretty much across the board) love a good hike and so heading on one of the best hikes in Germany is pretty much one of the most German things you can do when you visit. And there is a good reason why! The German … Continue Reading
Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands (which, despite being just off the coast of Africa are actually Spanish) is definitely one place that surprised me on our recent travels. The landscape here is diverse, absolutely stunning (as you might have seen from this post here, this one in the mountains and this one with that clear … Continue Reading
This is not a sponsored post! 🙂 This was my first trip to Budapest and I had no idea what to expect (I was flying by the seat of my pants a bit on this holiday) – so it was a very nice welcome to have a nice black Mercedes ready to whisk me off … Continue Reading
Ibiza is a funny little cookie. It’s a hedonistic getaway on one end of the spectrum and a holistic holiday at the other. It attracts a crowd so diverse that it’s hard to pin-point one specific ‘type of traveller’ the island is suited to. In fact, its probably safe to say Ibiza’s best visitors are … Continue Reading
One of the many joys of a trip to Iceland is learning to (or at least trying to) pronounce Icelandic names and perhaps, one of the more fun ones to try to pronounce is the Eyjafjallajökull volcano… …but more on that later. The first time I saw the Northern Lights was by no means unplanned. The … Continue Reading
France is a beautiful country to explore, it’s one of those places that’s just so much more than its beautiful cities; there are gorgeous national parks, the beautiful region of Provence and so much more. This all makes for some of the best places to visit in France on a road trip. As with any … Continue Reading
The pride of Britain lies within its countryside and there are fewer places in the UK to get a truly authentic experience of British life than in its villages. This is exactly why I wanted to share some of the best places to go in the UK that aren’t just the obvious spots. Yes, we’ve … Continue Reading
The best thing about European spa breaks is how indulgent they can be. I mean, there’s something to be said for going for a pampering day (heck, even a weekend) where all you have to think about is how hard you want your message. As I’m becoming ‘longer in the tooth’, I’ve properly embraced the … Continue Reading
