When I met my friend in October to see her off back to Australia, we had a plan to see lots of odd places in London that we hadn’t been to before. We’ve both been to London countless times, seen all the landmarks over and over, and this visit was more about going off-beat and …
Belgium is the perfect country to explore several of its main cities in one trip – owing to its size and ease of getting around, my planned pit-stop turned into a journey through three cities which gave me a whirlwind overview of the country. After Budapest, I’d decided to come home via Belgium – due …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
