Heads up – this is a pretty long (and very photo heavy post) so you might wanna grab a cuppa tea (or a glass of wine? No judgement) before you get started! (*As I’m currently writing this in Ireland I’ve got a pint of Guinness in front of me so I bid you a virtual … Continue Reading
If there’s one place you have to visit, not just at Christmas time but in winter, full stop (and as it turns out – now all year round), it’s Lapland! It’s the home of Santa, polar nights and more snow that we would ever know what to do with in London. Lloyd and I had … Continue Reading
And boy, did it rain in Palermo! Our trip to Palermo was one all four of us were looking forward to for ages. The Sicilian city, which I kept referring to as “The Old Country” thanks to The Godfather book (depending on which one you saw/read), promised to be warmer than London and so we … Continue Reading
Oistins Fish Fry has become somewhat of an institution in Barbados, especially on a Friday night. I can’t say I had heard too much about Oistins before arriving in the Caribbean but as soon as I touched that Bajan soil I somehow managed to hear about it everywhere… and for very good reason! After spending an … Continue Reading
I always get excited when visiting Greece! I don’t know if it’s the food, the relaxed way of life or the food that I seem to inhale as soon as I arrive… whatever the reason, it’s one of my favourite countries to explore. That being said, until recently I’d only ever visited some of the gorgeous … Continue Reading
Devon is one of those quintessential places in England that is a constant reminder of why it’s important to venture out of London (or other equally popular English cities) and venture out to see more. The trains are pretty good across the UK as a whole – yes, I know services can be delayed from … Continue Reading
Well, I hadn’t till just before we left for Gdansk! Sopot is a charming sea side town about 20 – 30 minutes away (by car) from Gdansk. It’s also accessible by train but the taxis are cheap enough – especially so if you share it with others like the 4 of us did. We arrived in … Continue Reading
There are loads of beautiful things to do in Samos. I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever said anything different when it comes to Greece and its beautiful islands. Samos is a little less known, unlike its more popular siblings of Corfu, Santorini or Mykonos. Though, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit. You’ll love it. This was … Continue Reading
On initially booking, I’ve gotta say, I was expecting somewhere nice. The hotel – Tulip House Hotel was ranked number 3 on Trip Advisor (of all hotels in Bratislava) so my expectation was realistically high… Gotta say though, it definitely surpassed my expectations. We got picked up at the airport in a private car (I love … Continue Reading
Boudhanath is one of the largest stupas in all of Nepal and a very important sight to see in Kathmandu. It’s located on the old trade route with Tibet and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. After making our way through the surprisingly fast-building traffic from our first stop of the day, we arrived … Continue Reading
After leaving, the beauty that is Pena Palace, we headed over to our next sight in Sintra – the Moorish Castle (or The Castle of The Moors – depending on which version of the name you prefer). The Moorish palace is actually a short walk from Pena Palace (or at least, from the entrance of … Continue Reading
When we decided to go to Tennessee, I knew pretty much straight away that we would have to make a road trip of it. With that, rather than stick to one city the entire time – it was decided that the trip would be a 3 city break would be just the thing (which is … Continue Reading
After our morning spent hiking up to Arco castle, the only thing I had on my mind once we hopped back into the car was food! I wanted lunch… and lots of it too! We drove over to Drena for a taste of traditional Italian food that’s pretty typical to this part of Northern Italy. … Continue Reading
The Jurassic Coast of England is a part of the country I’d wanted to visit for the longest time. In large part, this is due to amazing natural sights like Durdle Door and Old Harry Rocks but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping to find myself some dinosaur bone while I there! … Continue Reading
