One Night in Newcastle

Though I have visited Newcastle many times before, those were during my student days and the only memories I have are of hazy nights out, great breakfasts, and some really embarrassing photographs. A few years older and wiser, Pablo and I were both really looking forward to see the city with less bleary eyes. It had […]

6 Things To Do In Isle of Lewis and Harris , Scotland

When Pablo first told me that we were heading to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides for a family trip to celebrate his mum’s birthday my first thought was: that’s FARRRR. Which wasn’t wrong, but the almost 800 miles from London was so worth the trek. After a couple of nights in Glasgow and […]

24 Hours In Glasgow

Visiting Glasgow has always been a real treat for me, even as a child it was always my city of choice for a day out but with so much to see a day (or even two) just isn’t enough time to explore Scotland’s largest city. I am lucky that I’ve got some great friends in […]

A Day at Coney Island, New York

10 Alternative Things To Do In Vegas If Don’t Drink or Gamble

I never thought Las Vegas was my scene; I’m not a gambler (because I don’t have the money to throw away) and even though I am partial to drinking I am more of chilled out dive bar kind of chick. It wasn’t until I actually visited Vegas I realised how much more there was to […]

My Travel Story

I always think of my travel story as starting at 18 when I went off on my first big solo adventure around South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand; but actually it started WAY before that at the grand old age of 15 months when my mum took me on my first holiday to Lincolnshire. […]

Budapest Alternative Walking Tour

Our original intention was to meet with the Budapest Alternative Walking Tour on day one of our trip, however not adverse to going off plan (and getting too distracted by the pretty sights along the Danube) we missed our departure time. Thankfully, however, the group unlike many other tour operators still took groups on a […]

Budapest Day 1 – Walking The Danube

  Though there was an hour wait we were happy to grab a coffee from Kontakt its sister place across the street. The coffee was fantastically bold and fragrant giving me a much needed pick me up. After what seemed like no time at all we were seated at a basic box style stable in the […]
