A couple of weeks ago, we headed over to our neighbours across the sea to finally visit the fourth of our united countries - Northern Ireland. As per our usual mad travel plans, I curated a solid itinerary that would allow us to check out the Giant's Causeway and a few other north coast highlights,… Continue reading Road Tripping Northern Ireland In One Day

Planning & Packing For A Winter Iceland Trip
I absolutely love planning trips and creating itineraries for wherever I go - but planning a trip to Iceland in winter was HARD. The limited daylight hours mean you have to meticulously plan what you can see, and the cold weather means you have to pack so much more than, say, a few days in… Continue reading Planning & Packing For A Winter Iceland Trip
The Land Of Fire & Ice: A Five Day Iceland Itinerary
Iceland is without a doubt the epitome of "the land of fire and ice". From volcanoes to glaciers and everything in between, Iceland has it all, and we wanted to see it all. My friend & I spent five full days in Iceland, and when I say full, I also mean that we PACKED them… Continue reading The Land Of Fire & Ice: A Five Day Iceland Itinerary
Photo Friday: Iceland From The Road
Surprise - I just returned from ICELAND!! Yes, after a long, long two and a half years, I finally set foot outside the UK, and I absolutely made the most of every second. If you follow me on social media, you'll know about some of the trip already - I went with a friend who… Continue reading Photo Friday: Iceland From The Road
Scenes From Snowdonia: A Long Weekend In North Wales
This year has been all about the scenic landscapes of the UK - Skye, the Outer Hebrides, the Lake District, and finally, we made it to Wales to check out whether Snowdonia National Park really is as beautiful as the rest of them. Spoiler alert: it is. But first, we had a couple of towns… Continue reading Scenes From Snowdonia: A Long Weekend In North Wales
Landscapes & History On Lewis & Harris: A Five Day Itinerary
Last month, we finally embarked on a trip to the Outer Hebrides - a very unintentionally overlooked area of Scotland for us. I was particularly excited to see the legendary beaches of Harris, along with iconic historical sites such as the Callanish Stones and the Gearrannan blackhouse village on Lewis. It's also one of the… Continue reading Landscapes & History On Lewis & Harris: A Five Day Itinerary
Photo Friday: The Incredible Beaches Of Lewis & Harris
We just returned a couple of weeks ago from a fantastic trip to Lewis & Harris - our long-overdue first visit to the Outer Hebrides. I'd meant to do this post pretty much straight away, but apparently planning a wedding takes precedent over absolutely everything else in your life, taking up far more of your… Continue reading Photo Friday: The Incredible Beaches Of Lewis & Harris
Meres, Tarns & Waters: A Short Stint In The Lake District
Last month, we finally crossed the border for the first time in eighteen months - over to the beautiful Lake District. I hadn't been to the Lake District since I was eight years old, so my memory of it is patchy at best. I remember staying with my aunt & uncle and being allergic to… Continue reading Meres, Tarns & Waters: A Short Stint In The Lake District
Spending A Perfect Weekend On Skye
The first time I visited Skye, we only spent 24 hours on the island, and quickly learned that a day is not enough. Of course, I knew that before we went - I just wanted to see some of the highlights before we headed further north. This time, we spent a full weekend there, which… Continue reading Spending A Perfect Weekend On Skye
Adventures In Assynt: My Favourite Area Of Scotland
After a *very* busy few weeks, I have a lot to share, so let's start with Assynt, which is quite possibly my favourite area of Scotland. (Although it's a tough choice - I mean, you've seen Glencoe, right?) Assynt is just north of Ullapool in the north-west of Scotland, making it one of the more… Continue reading Adventures In Assynt: My Favourite Area Of Scotland
