Did you know that it takes 6 and a half hours to fly from the East coast to the West coast of America? Did you know that you can fit the whole of the UK into the state of Texas 3 times? Did you know that it would take 45 hours to drive from Brisbane to…
When travelling through Vietnam and The Philippines for 6 weeks, chances are your accommodation is going to be eclectic. From hostels and homestays to boutique hotels and luxury resorts; we pretty much covered it all. The majority of our accommodation was quite basic, but as a luxury travel blogger,
After months of emails, meetings and planning, I am so excited to finally share the details of my upcoming adventure – and let me tell you – it’s a biggie! On the 6th September my boyfriend Scott and I are embarking on an epic 6-week adventure. Here’s my 6 week itinerary for
I don’t know about you, but I’m not ashamed to admit that my party days are over. Gone are the days where I want to go on holiday to get drunk every night and dance ‘til dawn. At 25, I may be a little bit old before my time, but these days my dream holiday…
My recent city break to Lisbon was a cultural cocktail of exploring castles, hopping in tuktuks, getting lost in winding cobbled streets, photographing pastel coloured buildings, taking in panoramic views and stopping for plenty of coffee along the way. It’s safe to say we made the most of ou
Anyone that follows me on Instagram will probably already know that I have recently fallen head over heels in love with a new destination; Bali. South East Asia has always been a place close to my heart, but Bali’s breathtaking beauty, vibrant culture, and incredible spiritual energy tou
Known as the ‘spiritual heartland’ of Bali, Ubud is a place of tranquillity, positive energies and obscene natural beauty. The minute I arrived I could feel something in the air and nearly 2 weeks after arriving back home from Bali, it still hasn’t left me. I like to think I have a good imagin
At the end of last year I flew to Mexico to experience Cancun with lowcostholidays. One big goal of the trip was to bust the myth that lowcostholidays only deal with budget hotels – it’s quite the contrary! They also specialise in some pretty special mid-range and luxury hotels too, and I got to
Chichen Itza is one of Mexico’s most visited tourist destinations and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has recently been named as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World; a wonderfully ironic title if you consider it has been around for over 1000 years. Whilst you may not have heard of ancien
Dubai is like marmite, you either love it or hate it. It sparks debates and leaves the world divided, but whatever your opinion on it, you can’t deny that Dubai is the perfect destination for year-round guaranteed sunshine. No, it doesn’t have any culture or history and is often describe
Setting your alarm for a 3.30am wake up sounds pretty grim, but on the morning of our hot air balloon safari, I couldn’t have been more willing to leap out of bed. Soaring over the animals on a hot air balloon ride in The Serengeti is surely worth the early start? I met the group in…
Last week I embarked upon a road trip adventure through the rolling hills of Tuscany. With multiple stops, hotels and towns to visit, it’s a trip I had been planning for quite some time. This time I was very lucky to be able to bring my boyfriend along, who didn’t take much convincing to be&hell
What springs to mind when you think of Cape Town? Table Mountain, succulent red meat, beautiful landscapes and world-class wine. Before visiting this phenomenal city, these were the things I automatically associated with Cape Town. The wine was one thing I was particularly excited about, especiall
Have you ever taken a spontaneous trip? The type of trip that comes around so quickly that you don’t have time to get your head around where you actually are, let alone pack a remotely useful suitcase? Spontaneous breaks can be the most fun (and surreal) because weeks, if not days be
My last trip of 2014 was a whirlwind fortnight in Dubai. The purpose of my trip was to help launch a new magazine out there that I edit and write for, a project which ended up being extended from 1 to 2 weeks – no complaints from my end. Whilst I didn’t get to spend…
No matter how many times I travel and no matter how many hotels I stay in, there can only ever be one place that is my favourite. People always ask me ‘where is the most amazing place you’ve ever stayed?’ For a while, the answer has been the same, until last month when I got…
For me, the excitement of stepping into a new luxury hotel never, ever gets old. Not even 20 hours of travelling from London to Malaysia can take away my excitement when stepping through the palatial doors of The Danna Langkawi. If anything, the jet lag and delirium made it all the more memorable, a
The Malaysian island of Langkawi is known for it’s beautiful beaches, but it is also home to a diverse array of nature and wildlife. As part of my latest blogger press trip to Malaysia, we were invited to experience the full extent of this on a boat tour of the Langkawi Mangroves and the river&hel
The Jumeirah Grand Hotel is the latest slice of 5 star luxury to land on Rome’s salubrious Via Veneto. Synonymous to the likes of Bond Street, Fifth Avenue and The Champs Elysees, Rome’s Via Veneto is famed for being one of the most exclusive streets in the city. Lined with luxury hote
Writing about travel has it’s perks. I may never rake in a six figure salary, but I see so much value in the experiences and travel opportunities that my job brings. That’s one reason why, for me, it trumps any other job going. This week I flew to Antigua courtesy of Virgin Atlantic
Best known for luxury ski lodges, billionaire clientele and designer boutiques, Gstaad attracts an understated crowd of wealthy jet setters. Whilst the majority of them visit during the winter months, a new wave of savvy, luxury travellers are embracing Gstaad in the summer. With the high end crowd
I am writing this blog post in a state of hazy relaxation and an utter state of calm. This is because I have just experienced the ultimate Swiss Spa weekend at The Alpina Hotel in Gstaad. Yoga, Massage, Facials and even a mindful leadership session made up my weekend, which has left me totally rejuv
If you’re planning a trip to London and you’re reading this, Congratulations. You’re already well on your way to being a savvier tourist when you get here. As a travel blogger living in one of the largest cities in the world, I thought I may as well impart some local knowledge to travellers vi
A few things have changed since I last visited Rome. This is because the last time I visited Rome was exactly 10 years ago. Back then I was (quite embarrassingly) your typical well-travelled but ungrateful child. Whilst I was lucky enough to have incredible holidays all around the world with my trav
This month a male blogger friend and I were invited to experience dinner at Aqua Shard London, one of the restaurants sitting proudly on the 31st floor of London’s tallest building. Having eaten at and enjoyed Aqua Kyoto (Aqua’s Asian Fusion restaurant over on Argyle Street), I was
Paella by the Spanish coast, a Mini speeding down a British country road, romance in Paris… There are some things in life that are so incredibly iconic that no matter how cliché they become, they will also remain utterly timeless. During my trip to Rome last week, I was lucky enough to explore th
Last week I was lucky enough to tick another point off my ‘Live Like A Tourist London Bucket List‘, which was to experience afternoon tea at a 5* London Hotel. The lovely people at The Metropolitan Hotel invited me to come and try their afternoon tea menu, and being a girl with a serious
Every now and then I like to feature a guest post from aspiring or up and coming travel bloggers. When an email dropped into my inbox from Olivia Lace-Evans, she immediately reminded me of myself 3 years ago, writing for her uni newspaper and trying to build up a killer portfolio. Olivia is a freela
Ciao! This is the first blog post I’ve ever written from approximately 39,000ft in the air. I am on a plane on my way back to the UK after a blissful 4 nights and 3 days in North Sardinia. Naturally, I couldn’t wait to jump onto my mac to write all about my press trip…
