My Travel Hacks and Habits; From Booking to Boarding
Guys! I’m going on a holiday that lasts longer than 4 days! And I don’t have to change out of a bikini! Can you tell I’m excited/in dire need? Last week Allyn and I booked our ten-day trip to Thailand (11 weeks and counting) for some much, much needed time off. We didn’t know exactly […]
10 things I learnt on my First Solo Adventure
I’ve always been quite independent. I was an only child until I was 8 years old and often cheerily waved goodbye to my family, flying to both New York and Kenya in my teens on some rather adventurous school trips. Yet in the 25 years I’ve graced the planet with my presence, I’ve never been […]
Hamburg; Discovering the Soul of the City
The hometown of the hamburger, a beloved place of The Beatles… crikey, the 10th most liveable city on the planet! Where is this amazing destination you ask? It’s Hamburg… a place that until a few months ago, I didn’t really have any desire to visit (apart from to gorge on a meaty bap obviously). When […]
The 25hours Hotel Hamburg HafenCity
Note: my stay at the 25hours Hotel HafenCity was complimentary but as always all views are my own even when entertained by constant witticisms. This post also contains affiliate links – thank you for your support! Hooded and dripping wet, my suitcase leaving a slippery trail behind me, I quickly pulled out my phone from […]
Cheese and Champagne Tasting with Truly Experiences
Cheese*. My darling, unconditionally loved cheese. There is no part of you that I don’t adore. From your hard outer rinds to your gooey soft centres, every side of you is arousingly delicious. *Please note this is post has been rated 12+ due to its unintentional amount of innuendos One person who gets those same […]
Weirdly Wonderful Rooftop Dining at Century Club, Soho
Alfresco city views. Cocktails with a twist. Secretive atmosphere. A droolworthy menu that features something different. If a restaurant has just one of these things then I’m normally swayed to sashay through its doors. But what if I told you that I’d found a place that ticks every box? A place that not only satisfies […]
How Travel Challenged My Fear Of Edges
Standing precariously on top of a pile of rocks, sucking in my core for every ounce of rigidity, I froze with a smile as my Dad slowly pressed the shutter down below. “JUST TAKE THE PICTURE” I screamed through my grin, arms stretched out with the wind hammering against me. Despite my collection of photographs […]
Darkhorse, Stratford; the Underdog of London’s Restaurant Scene
Stratford’s not somewhere I’d think to head to for a midweek dinner with friends. In fact when I drag myself east onto the Central Line it’s normally with despair at the thought of being run over by pushchairs in the sweaty confined walkways of Westfield Shopping Centre. With that said, when my eyes landed on […]
3 great restaurants in London to celebrate a birthday
When I thought about how I wanted to celebrate my 25th birthday, I imagined cheering flutes with friends, laughter with family, a romantic night out with Allyn… and food. Lots of it. Naturally being a self-confessed foodie, booking a restaurant (or three) is my go to for a celebration, because is there much better way […]
An Asian Feast at Mango Tree, Belgravia; a Review
If the Leaky Cauldron was a real pub, you’d go there immediately right? Well when J.K Rowling slyly mentioned a restaurant that lives and breathes in the city of London, well we lined up to see what our favourite author was eating. The Mango Tree, name dropped by J.K’s alter ego Robert Galbraith in The […]
