Budapest is famous for its thermal spa baths all over the city, but two in particular are popular with tourists: Szechenyi and Gellert. I've written about both briefly in my post about Budapest, as my friend and I ended up visiting both after we couldn't choose which would be the best to visit - and… Continue reading Szechenyi Vs Gellert: Battle Of The Budapest Spa Baths

Three Days In Fairytale Budapest, One Of My Favourite Cities
A few months ago, I finally returned to Budapest, eight years after my first visit. Budapest very quickly became one of my favourite cities in Europe, and I was curious to see how I would find it a second time around, and whether the magic would capture me just as instantaneously as it did the… Continue reading Three Days In Fairytale Budapest, One Of My Favourite Cities
2022: A Busy Year In Review
2022 has been quite a year. What started out with a single booked trip which was cancelled on my birthday, 2022 ended up being one of our most travelled years yet (non-continuous travels, at least). I've been to 11 countries, which I think is my most in a single year, plus we finally ticked off… Continue reading 2022: A Busy Year In Review
Christmas In Kaunas: Feeling Festive In Lithuania
I've just returned from a spontaneous trip to Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania. Why Kaunas? Quite simply, a) because there were cheap flights, b) they worked for a long weekend for which I had one day's holiday left to take at work, and c) I've never been to Lithuania before! Truthfully, I'd never… Continue reading Christmas In Kaunas: Feeling Festive In Lithuania
Relaxing On The Shores Of Zanzibar, Tanzania’s Paradise
We always knew that at the end of our African honeymoon, we would want some beach time. I considered the Seychelles, or even Mauritius. But the place that made the most sense was an island in Tanzania, which would be far cheaper and easier to get to as we were there already. And so I… Continue reading Relaxing On The Shores Of Zanzibar, Tanzania’s Paradise
Photo Friday: The Doors Of Stone Town, Zanzibar
Our time in Zanzibar was mostly spent relaxing by a beach, but - and call me weird if you like - one thing I was really looking forward to seeing was the Zanzibari doors of Stone Town. The doors of Stone Town are intricate, interesting and beautifully carved, and while I have a penchant for… Continue reading Photo Friday: The Doors Of Stone Town, Zanzibar
Living Out Our Wildest Dreams On Safari In Tanzania
From Kenya, we traversed the border to Tanzania to continue our dream trip - and somehow, it was about to get even better. I've dreamed of visiting the Serengeti ever since I watched the Lion King when I was five (fun fact: it was the first film I went to see in the cinema!) and… Continue reading Living Out Our Wildest Dreams On Safari In Tanzania
An Introduction To Kenya – A Safari In The Maasai Mara
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… Continue reading An Introduction To Kenya – A Safari In The Maasai Mara
50 Photos From Our Dream African Safari Honeymoon
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… Continue reading 50 Photos From Our Dream African Safari Honeymoon
It’s Been A While! Here’s What I’ve Been Up To
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… Continue reading It’s Been A While! Here’s What I’ve Been Up To
