When we were in New York, we decided pretty early on that we needed to spend some time in Central Park. It’s one of those places that everyone is so easy to take for granted because it’s easy enough to get to, it’s free and you can go there pretty much anytime you want. You’d … Continue Reading
Look, it’s probably pretty obvious by now that I gorge on anything sweet! Drip, dip or roll it in sugar and I swear it’ll be gone without you even batting an eyelid. I like to say it’s because I just want to ‘taste the world’ or something fluffy like that the harsh reality is that … Continue Reading
Rooftop bars in any city is almost a must these days. I can’t speak for anyone else of course but I generally find that my drinks taste so much better when they come with an amazing view. 😉 Needless to say, when we visited New York, Lloyd, Georgia and I decided that a trip to … Continue Reading
New York State is pretty special, with so much diversity, gorgeous landscapes and amazing hikes that are so much fun to explore.

New York is incredible, and with so many cool areas of the city to explore, it’s pretty easy to get lost in finding the best things to do whilst you’re in the Big Apple. Honestly, with all the choice, it can be hard to whittle down what to do in New York; even if you’ve … Continue Reading
This is a photo diary so I’ll spare you all the waffle and jump right in! 🙂 There are a few photos we took on our long weekend in New York City when we decided to head off to Central Park. Photos were taken before (and after) our boat ride here … Read more: Best … Continue Reading
These last few weeks have been manic! Just looking through Instagram (and our calendar), in the past couple of months, with like just a day in between (sometimes with no days in between). We’ve been on a road trip through Germany, explore 4 cities in Japan, then to New York, then Rio, then back to … Continue Reading
This is a fairly quick post and is the first of two posts! The next one will follow very shortly. Effectively, as you can see from the photos at the top of the Eiffel Tower, I love cityscape photos; especially ones taken at dusk. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been at the top of … Continue Reading
Last time we were in New York, I wasn’t able to get round to the Statue of Liberty. After all, visiting Lady Liberty is easily one of the best things to do in New York for sure. The time before that I saw it from a distance. This time, armed with our NYC Go passes, … Continue Reading

Part Deux is here! Swiftly flying in following Numero Uno! As per my previous post with the view from The Empire State Building, here’s the corresponding view from The Rockefeller Center. I won’t waste your time on any more waffle. You know the drill! 🙂 Now that you have both, you can fully decide and let … Continue Reading
Unlike our time at the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island was never really a place I was fascinated by. Yeah, I understood its importance and its history (my lack of fascination with the place takes nothing away from that) but I just didn’t have the same yearning to visit the place. In retrospect, I guess … Continue Reading
Just over the river from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, Brooklyn is a pretty epic neighbourhood to explore whilst in New York City. With museums, flea markets, parks and cool bars, it’s an area that’s well worth visiting whilst visiting the city; after all, the Big Apple isn’t just about Manhattan. So, to help … Continue Reading
