    India is a country which has a mix of both traditionalism and modernism in it, which has both the bustling busy cities on one side and the calm and serene simple villages on the other.

    01/28/2024 - By 

    Did you know that one in three Brits suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression that can be triggered by a lack of vitamin D that comes from the sun? For some it can be debilitating and they will need professional treatment, but for those who suffer from a more mild case of the ‘winter blues’ there are lots of things you can do to keep it at bay, including prescribing yourself a big dose of winter sun. During the heart of winter the UK gets just eight hours of sunlight (often fighting to be seen through…

    Hotel review: Le Jardin des Douars, Essaouira, Morocco

    01/12/2024 - By 

    Essaouira is a charming Moroccan seaside town for those interested in seeing a different part of the country away from Marrakesh. Its fortified walls and crumbling ramparts are beautiful in their own unique way, with its labyrinth-like medina a joy to wander through, as you make your way past artists at work and the colourful souks you’d expect from the region. I was excited to see these sights for myself, but this trip was also about unwinding, and it appears that we found the perfect hotel retreat in Le Jardin des Douars.

    Island Luxury at Koh Jum Beach Villas [Hotel Review]

    12/10/2023 - By 

    At first I wasn’t sure whether to write this post – Koh Jum Beach Villas is a true hidden gem, a rare find in South East Asia today.

But the truth is it’s too good not to shout about, and so here I am, letting you into the secret that is Koh Jum Beach Villas. Where is Koh Jum? Koh Jum is a small island off the coast of Krabi, Thailand, surprisingly untouched by tourism when islands…

    Central Park: An oasis in NYC

    11/09/2023 - By 

    Out of everything on our New York to do list, Central Park was definitely the thing I was most looking forward to. I loved that a great expanse of park land was completely hidden away in the middle of the city, a jewel among an unrelenting concrete jungle. When we arrived at midday there were huge amounts of people around, but because the park is so vast it didn’t seem busy at all. Most of our group hired bikes to cycle round the park, but two of us decided to walk instead, and I’m so glad we did. We bought…

    Sardinia – a Mediterranean cultural adventure

    11/06/2023 - By 

    Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, has a rich history and some wonderful scenery. It was my temporary home for four days in April – a visit that reinforced my love of all things Italian, especially the food. I stayed in Cagliari – pronounced Calyari by the locals – a perfect base for exploring the southern half of the island. It was intensively bombed by the Allies during 1943, so much of what’s on show is pretty recent. But don’t let that put you off – there’s plenty to see and do. Getting from the airport is…

    Brooklyn Bridge and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden

    11/02/2023 - By 

    Irecently travelled to New York with a friend and her family. Over the next few weeks, you can find out what my best bits were along with some tips and tricks if you’re planning a trip to NYC soon! On our first proper (and rather jetlagged) day in New York we decided to see the Brooklyn Bridge and even on a rather dull day, it still looked every bit as iconic as the photos suggest. In fact, I thought the weather made the structure look fantastic, set on a backdrop of moody grey clouds the bridge looked enormous and very…
