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

With that said, when my eyes landed on […]

The Mango Tree, name dropped by J.K’s alter ego Robert Galbraith in The […]

“So, where are you going next?” The inevitable question I get asked on a regular occurrence, more so now than the other commonly asked interrogation regarding my life long plans for mini mes. Sometimes the question fills me with enthusiasm, that being when I have a clear idea of the trips in my calendar. But […]
Postcards from Vienna and Wachau Valley
Whoever started the phrase ‘Don’t forget to look up’ came from Vienna. Or at least he was a traveller who shared my adoration for ornate architecture and blue skies. Since leaving the Austrian capital, I’ve begun to wonder how it had taken me so long to arrive. Endless palaces contained a wealth of art and history, baroque […]
