We’ve just come back from Portugal where we spend a few days in Cascais (and Sintra). Now, Cascais and Sintra are very close to Lisbon and usually visited by as part of a trip to Lisbon but seeing as we had been to Lisbon already, coupled with the fact that we had very limited time to spend … Continue Reading
Hello!!! 🙂 It’s been a rather hectic past few days and I write this after a few glasses of Greek wine, Ouzo, cheeses and cured meats I can’t remember the names of but promise to give you full details on as soon as I find the paper the names are written down on. In any … Continue Reading
Waking up to sunshine in the Canary Islands and knowing how cold it was when you left London truly doesn’t lose its appeal! 🙂 After our day out exploring Lobos island and sailing the Canary Island, we figured we would spend the next day exploring more of Fuerteventura, albeit on land this time. Starting with … Continue Reading
I’ve only ever been to Oxford twice in the past and both times it was to do with the University. (*This was of course before deciding that I’d much rather be in Cambridge… 😉 ) Pretty as Oxford is, I’d never actually spent any proper time exploring the city and I was only too happy … Continue Reading

That being said, Bergen is a bit of an exception though with its UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen and this amazing view at Floyen.

The next morning in Nashville, we decided to skip breakfast at the hotel and head off somewhere lots of people had recommended for real Southern food. Said place was – Loveless Café and boy was I excited for it. (I’m kinda always excited for anything food related so no surprises here really). We arrived at … Continue Reading
Staying in Mount Engadine Lodge for the night turned out to be the perfect opportunity to slow down and make the most of our beautiful scenery in Alberta. Our road trip through this gorgeous part of Canada thus far had been fairly packed and having an afternoon with no plans but to drink wine and … Continue Reading
My friend had been saying for months (almost a whole year actually) that she wanted to celebrate her birthday somewhere outside of the UK and as amazing as the idea was, the process of organising flights and accommodation for even 4 people is daunting to me at the best of times let alone organising for a … Continue Reading
My love affair with Italy is long-standing and so very strong – it’s like every trip back there keeps drawing me even more. As you already know, after our first time driving from Milan to the Amalfi coast in a rickshaw, I’ve long since been a fan of slow travel in Italy. The thing about … Continue Reading
