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
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
“Is it a real slope? Boston doesn’t have slopes”. This was my mum’s perception when I told her I was going night skiing near Boston in Massachusetts. All we’ve/I’ve known since I was under 2 years old is skiing in the French Alps, getting there by taking the Eurostar, then a bus winding through narrow … Continue reading
I’m sorry if you’ve come to this for some juicy gossip about the actual Boston Globe. But while I’ve got you here, there’s a cool sight in Boston that I only recently found out about, despite having been making relatively frequent visits to the city since 2012.

I’m getting to know the individual parts that make up Boston, and I happened to appear on the scene … Continue reading
Thanksgiving as a holiday has always fascinated me because as a British person, it’s alien to me. 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
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
Boston, Massachusetts, has become a pretty special place to me. I’m not just saying that because it would please my Boston-living boyfriend, Alan – although because he lives there is definitely the larger part of the reason I’ve come to like the city so much. I went there end of August into September 2012 and … Continue reading
