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
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
The festive period is well and truly over (Happy New Year, everyone!) – but why should that stop us reflecting over the good vibes in this rainy January? I’m half Czech, so my Christmas has a few cultural quirks (in the eyes of British traditions) which I’m very fond of. The Czech comes from my … Continue reading
Boston and I have taken our relationship to the next level. It’s not just about the excitement of new areas anymore; we’re close enough to know that I love the city not just on face value. 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
The British are known for many things. We have a bunch of stereotypes and associations, good and bad. Tea, red buses and phoneboxes, bad teeth (I’ll bare my teeth at any of you who think this is true to prove you wrong!), reserved, prudish and awfully posh are just some. Two of my favourites from … Continue reading
It’s that time of year again where we all complain about it getting dark so early, exclaiming, “It’s only 4:30! Just a month ago it’d be light until 6!” If you’re anything like me, you get extremely lazy to even go out anymore. It’s dark, cold, somehow the weird people are on the streets again … Continue reading
The oldest, most ancient of the age old questions (ok, maybe not)… Bondi or Manly? For me, this is so startlingly obvious I could dance and skip up and down Manly beach from sunrise to sunset. So I guess I’ve given it away? Everyone raves about Bondi. So naturally I’m sceptical about it. I felt … Continue reading
Melbourne isn’t known for its beaches (all the more reason to dive a little deeper), but the wonderful world of Oz is. When I lived there, I was eager to explore what was on offer in the city. I knew I couldn’t surf in Melbourne (booooo!) but I took great memories from its beaches. … Continue reading
I love a good brunch. And to celebrate my Graduation (yay) with my family, we went to an all time favourite: brunch at the Intercontinental London Park Lane Hotel. I won’t lie, I was genuinely reminiscing the day before about all the food I was going to eat, hoping they’d have it all there this … Continue reading
