10 Things I Hate About London
Don’t get me wrong… to quote Twilight I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with London. But not many of us want to read gushing posts of adoration whether it’s for a puppy, baby or your home town. In fact most of us secretly relish at cynicism and mundane moans, lapping up a bit of […]
Why It’s OK to be a Travel Cliché
I’m not really sure what the point of this post is yet. It’s more of a rambling trail of thought that occurred to me on one of those cold walks to work, enough to make me write it down in my notes. Anyway here we go… Everywhere I look on social media at the moment, […]
13 Things I Learnt on my First Trip to Paris
I knowwww, I call myself a travel blogger. But what you have to understand is that until last year, I put all my time and money into experiencing far and wide destinations that took at least 12 hours of plane, bus and boat to reach. “Europe can wait!” I told myself. So you see that’s […]
Cocktails, Pizza and Jazz at Ray’s Bar, Dalston; A Review
Cocktails, pizza and jazz. Need I say more? Shall I just end it here? I know you’re already sold on the idea. Nevertheless let us continue. Ray’s Bar in Dalston only opened last November, taking the place of the beloved club, Dance Tunnel. Located under its foodie older brother Voodoo Ray’s, the bar takes on […]
Two Tribes Meet in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
I’ve wanted to post this story for quite a while. I actually wrote it just over a year ago but never got around to pressing publish. I haven’t particularly written about my trip to Botswana but I will be sharing more tales of my African adventure over the coming months. So as a sweet teaser […]
Mommi does Music, Among Other Greatness; A Review
Guess whose back. Back again. Clapham’s back. Tell a friend. Ok so Clapham might not have exactly gone out of fashion, I mean far from it. But with other areas of London opening up new restaurants east, west and city central, Clapham’s maybe not had so much love from the food enthused recently. Tell me […]
Nominated for Travel Blogger of the Year… SAY WHAT.
Most Mondays I slowly awake to the sound of busy London life, lie there awaiting that dreadful iPhone alarm tone before snoozing for 15 minutes trying to steal as much body heat as possible from Allyn before I brave my duvet exit. Then I’ll sigh, start slowly edging towards the side of the bed as […]
48 Hours in Paris; Île de la Cité and the Latin Quarter
On my second day in Paris, Mum and I made our way to Saint Michel on the metro line, stopping of a local creperie before wandering over to the islands. Île de la Cité Although we didn’t plan on joining the extremely long queue into the cathedral, we enjoyed examining the incredible exteriors of Notre Dame […]
Ordering from the Travel Menu
“If you could go anywhere in the world, where would go?” I genuinely hate that question. Could you only eat one meal for the rest of your life? Would you really only take one thing to a desert island? Do you have a favourite child? Okay, perhaps a little extreme but you get my point. […]
48 hours in Paris; Saint-Germain-des-Pres & the Jardin des Tuileries
Paris, oh Paris. How much I have fallen for you. Since only visiting once as a small child, I have always wanted to go back to the famous European city that seems to encapsulate all who visit. So after a lucky work trip to the city, I put my Mum on a quick 2 hour […]
