Originally, we weren’t planning to visit Kenya at all. We were planning our honeymoon in Tanzania, with a few days on safari followed by a few days of beach time in Zanzibar. After finding tours that started in Nairobi and visited both the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti, I started to think about whether we …
I have so much to write about our safari honeymoon that it’s hard to know where to actually begin. I can, however, share a whole bunch of photos from the trip to give you a preview of what’s to come. It’s taken me a long time to sort them, let alone edit them – as …
Whoa, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Two entire months, in fact, since I graced your presence with one of my delightful blog posts. In that time, I have been… busy. If you follow me on social media, you’ll probably know slightly more about what I’ve been up to! We finally went on our African …
Did you know that Hogwarts is actually in Scotland? And that you can ride on the actual Hogwarts Express through the beautiful Scottish highlands, including over the iconic viaduct from the Harry Potter movies, to get there*? As if I needed any more reasons to be proud to call this place home, whack in some …
Sintra is by far the most popular day trip destination from Lisbon, and I have soooo many photos to prove why. So many, in fact, that while I wrote about our day trip to Sintra in my Lisbon post, I didn’t go into great detail because I had way too many photos to include, and …

Knowing how much I absolutely loved Lisbon a few years ago, I was very excited to not only be getting back there, but also to finally hit up Porto. I’ve always, always heard good things about Porto – it feels like Lisbon’s little sister with even more hills. We were only going to have one …
Did you know that there’s a major city on the border of THREE countries? Enter: Basel. While the city is officially in Switzerland, my favourite fact about Basel is that you can walk to both France and Germany! As you’ll know from my last post, the main reason we booked flights to Basel was actually …
Last week, it was announced that various towns around the British Isles, and even as far afield as the Falkland Islands, would become cities as part of the Jubilee celebrations. This means that Scotland is no longer the country of seven cities – we’ve gained an eighth! Dunfermline is a well-deserved choice, given that it …
Last weekend, we took a whirlwind trip over to Europe. In my usual fashion, I’d actually found cheap flights to Basel, and after a quick look at the map and realising that the adorable French fairytale town of Colmar is nearby, I hit the book button instantly. And then, despite the fact we’d be flying …
