This summer I visited Cornwall for the first time and brought my Mum along on her first ever blog trip. We spent 3 nights at the Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa in Newquay and used it as our base to explore the surrounding area. Leading up to the trip, I had so many of you send me fantastic recommendations of… View Post
I love taking UK staycations, but until now they’ve never been for the beaches. Cornwall is a destination I had heard and seen so many positive things about, so I knew I had to go and see it for myself. When I was invited to stay at Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to go… View Post
I’ve had this blog post on my to-do list ever since I got back from my epic Scandinavian cruise. St Petersburg was the second stop on our 10-day cruise, and the only place where we docked overnight. This meant I was able to spend a full 2 days in St Petersburg, which was just enough time to see all of… View Post
Scotland is a bucket list destination for people all over the world, and until recently I have completely taken its close proximity to England for granted. My recent solo adventure to Edinburgh and Dundee made me fall in love with the charm of Scotland and had me hankering to return. So I did. My return trip came in the form of… View Post
Yes it’s true…we’re having a baby! I am pregnant. Baby on board. Saying those phrases still feels surreal to me.

It’s one of those iconic London venues that should be on everyone’s London bucket list. If the walls could… View Post
We commonly dream of summer destinations with sand and sea, but have you ever thought about trading them in for mountains and lakes? The sunshine is just as likely to shine and the skies are just as blue, but you’ll have an entirely different kind of holiday in store. Inspired by my recent eco-friendly spa break in Austria’s Saalbach Hinterglem,… View Post
My latest overseas trip took me to the Austrian Alps, which was a place I fell in love with last summer on a solo trip to Graz, Salzburg and Innsbruck. I’m usually all about visiting destinations once and moving on to somewhere new, but there was something about Austria that made me certain I would return. Last month I packed… View Post

One of my favourite things about travel blogging is putting the spotlight on alternative destinations that you may not have thought about visiting before. Next up is the Black Forest in south west Germany, which I recently visited on a road trip adventure with my best friend Naomi. The Black Forest is best known for being the place where many… View Post
