Let me just start by saying: I love Instagram. It’s usually what I’m scrolling through when my boyfriend is telling me to get off my phone and properly focus on him – and I don’t see him often (since we do long distance), so that definitely takes this Instagram love into obsession category. These accounts … Continue reading
Cities are like relationships. I meet a place, get some first impressions – like I would a boy. I get to know a place, get some surprises or confirm my thoughts – like I would a boy. And just like I’ve gone and go through highs and lows with my personal relationships with boyfriends past … Continue reading
Did you know… the London Eye’s pods/capsules each represent a London borough. Do you know how many boroughs there are? 32. Did you know… Cleopatra’s Needle has two Sphinx on either side to guard it… but they’re facing toward the needle, which is the wrong way. A Sphinx is meant to face away (makes sense, … Continue reading
I love going through old pictures. Even way back when of travels I can only just remember – it’s always so fascinating to know you’ve seen amazing places through such young eyes. Last time I gave you the Pyramids of Egypt, and this time it’s an equally unique site in southwest Turkey: Pamukkale, the travertine … Continue reading
Rule number something-or-other of travel (or any type of) blogging: find a niche. Harness that niche. Now, is it just me or can this be slightly limiting? Don’t get me wrong, there are great bloggers who have slotted perfectly and naturally with theirs, and this post isn’t about slamming them – hats off to them, … Continue reading
Oh, my. It was only a matter of time until I was going to give this USA restaurant its own post. Live jazz, exposed brick walls, amazing food, fairy lights, great cocktails… guys, you spoil me. I dislike using the word trendy, but, well, it is. I first went to The Beehive on my first … Continue reading
Pssst…. pssssssssssst… a little bit closer… Ok. I’ll confess something: I went to the London Coffee Festival and I’m not a full coffee convert. I prefer tea and the smell of black coffee upsets me. Now, before you hate me, call me traitor and burn me as a witch, I have tried. I live in … Continue reading
“I’m floating in the most peculiar way And the stars look very different today.” Give me a David Bowie lyric and I’m yours. And the place had this one sprawled across a grainy chalk board on one of its scruffy brick walls. Cafe Ferro is a coffee place on St Clair Avenue West just slightly … Continue reading
Ok, so maybe not really vintage. But I reminisce about past travels a lot, and it fascinates me how through time places change, are kept intact, or adapt. I think I’m extremely lucky to have had the holidays growing up that I did. This was 2001, on the first ever cruise I ever went on … Continue reading
Somewhere in St Kilda, tucked away in a warm, cozy froth of whipped cream and succulent fruity tarts, is Acland Cake Shop/Acland Cakes. It was here, along with the beach and laidback, just-here-to-have-a-good-time vibe that started my infatuation with St Kilda. “I want to live here one day” I believe were the words I uttered … Continue reading
