I’ve sweltered in Boston’s humid summers and I’ve crunched the golden brown leaves as I’ve walked its Autumn, but I’ve never seen Boston in the midst of winter. London hasn’t snowed this year, but Boston’s had the brunt of it. The snow storms cancelled flights and trapped people indoors. But this is the beautiful side … Continue reading

The reality of a long distance relationship
Travel is essentially the centre of my life: my job is in travel, my passion is travel, this blog is travel and my boyfriend lives across an ocean, in Boston, USA (for anyone who doesn’t know, I’m from London, UK) and we met while living in Australia. I get a lot of different reactions when … Continue reading

But on my recent trip to the USA, winter sun meant a beautiful, energetic beachside town in the midst of Winter. I introduce you to Provincetown … Continue reading
The Brit does an American Thanksgiving

I’ll admit that the first time I ever heard of Thanksgiving was when watching the many Friends episodes which centre around the holiday. Clearly an important American tradition. So this young Brit, with an American boyfriend, just had … Continue reading
How (not) to be classy at a wine tasting
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wine tasting is generally considered to be quite a sophisticated activity. Meandering along those wine trails from vineyard to vineyard, usually with a stunning backdrop… who wouldn’t be tempted? It’s one of those moments where some cliched writer would exhale a sigh of satisfaction and say “This is the … Continue reading
Up, up and away – travel news
For a few months now I haven’t had much going on travel-wise. We can blame that on running out of money and graduating from university – and the exhaustion of trying to find a job that comes with it, of course. BUT… there are plans coming together that I’m very excited to do and write … Continue reading
