My first AirBnb experience – was it worth the hype?

Since becoming a ‘sort-of’ member of the travel blogging community (I’m trying to get into twitter at the moment…It’s such a great way to chat to other bloggers.. but it’s also a platform that I’m not that naturally drawn to….. which is weird…. because it’s the one social media platform where I feel it’s okay […]

New York City Part 2: Downtown Manhattan

  New York is honestly one of my favourite cities in the world. A cliché, I know. I’m really not a city person – I find them stuffy, crowded and stressful. You could say New York is all three of those things, but for some reason I just don’t care and always want to go […]

Paris: Falling in Love With the City of Love

Paris is such an iconic city. Fun fact: I actually won a trip there when I was 6 years old. I entered a competition through my French club and sent a cassette tape (yes I did say CASSETTE TAPE… 90’s kids, ya feel me) of me singing the french nursery rhyme ‘Allouette’. That tape represents […]

The little things: Spring has Sprung! (…finally!)

One of the best things about living in England is the seasons. I feel like whenever we step into a new one, everyone gets so excited! (myself included). We’ve had the odd day that has felt like spring, only for temperatures to plummet again! This last week, however, has been absolutely glorious! More sunshine, lighter evenings […]

My favourite blogs right now (Travel & Lifestyle)

Okay… I’m going to hold my hands up and say I’m a little bit sporadic when it comes to posting on my blog. To be honest, it’s more of a case of um-ing and ah-ing about taking a tentative step outside of the travel bubble during the months when life is busy, or money is […]
