I absolutely live and breathe travel and I love to write about my experiences! Please take a look through my posts - you might find your own holiday inspiration.

Let’s be honest. Economy is fine. Premium Economy is nice. But First and Business Class in 2026? That’s a whole new level of fabulous. We’re talking sliding doors, hotel-style suites, proper beds, Champagne, caviar and enough tech to make your living room feel basic.

If Capri is the glamorous diva of the Bay of Naples, then Ischia is her effortlessly cool, under-the-radar cousin who doesn’t need to shout about it. Lush, volcanic, and wonderfully real, Ischia is where chic hotels meet laundry flapping in the breeze, Vespas whizz past nonnas, and thermal spas bubble away beneath the surface. And honestly? I am obsessed.

So you’re thinking of a safari. Fabulous choice. Safari comes from the Swahili word for “journey”, and trust me, it’s exactly that. A wild, wonderful, slightly bumpy journey of discovery, from the moment your bush plane bumps onto an airstrip to the moment you reluctantly pack your bags to head home. Whether you’re a first timer or a seasoned returner with binoculars practically glued to your fac

Let’s be honest. We are all a bit… tired. Tired of emails. Tired of doom-scrolling. Tired of pretending that a weekend with a face mask and Netflix counts as “self-care”. If your body is whispering (or shouting) for rest, reset and a little bit of luxury wrapped in a fluffy robe, then my friend, it is time for a proper wellness holiday. The clever folks at Condé Nast Traveller have just revealed t

If you are dreaming about the prettiest Amalfi Coast towns to visit, pour yourself an espresso, imagine the scent of lemons in the air and let me whisk you away. The Amalfi Coast is one of those places that looks like it has been filtered in real life.

Your Next Holiday Could Change Your Life. Instead of lying on a sun lounger wondering if you’ve overdone it on the all-inclusive buffet, you’re floating in a thermal spring in Italy, having your circulation boosted by volcanic minerals, or meditating at sunrise on a Caribbean beach while the waves keep time with your breath.

Imagine swapping the sound of your morning alarm for the gentle lap of turquoise waves or the rustle of palm leaves in a warm breeze. No emails, no traffic, no “we need to talk” from your boss; just you, a plush robe, and the promise of feeling utterly fabulous. Welcome to wellness travel: a holiday where your mind, body, and soul check in… and your stress checks out.

Food and travel go together like tea and a proper biscuit that does not crumble the moment it hits the brew. Many of us plan our getaways around where we want to eat rather than what we want to see. And who can blame us When a city is famous for something sizzling sweet buttery or bursting with spice you cannot help but make it your mission to hunt it down.
