A few years ago, I road tripped around Croatia from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik, stopping at Plitvice National Park. It was out of season, incredibly empty and felt like our own personal paradise; walking along the boardwalks and bending down to admire all the little fish. The only thing that was missing in this, was … Continue reading A Day Trip to Krka National Park, Croatia
While visiting Split for a few days, my boyfriend and I thought it would be nice to explore one of the islands off the coast. Each island has something different - Bol and Brac are both great places to visit but Hvar is probably the most well known (it’s where a lot of the Made … Continue reading A Day on Hvar Island, Croatia
I adore Split. I went there a few years ago on the first of many road trips with my friend Hamilton (blog post here). We travelled from Zagreb, down to Plitvice, then onto Split and Hvar before finishing in Dubrovnik. It was out of season, just before everyone and their Mother started planning trips and … Continue reading An Offbeat Weekend in Split, Croatia
Now, even though I have recently been tempted over onto the dark side... Coffee. I do still absolutely love drinking tea. I mean, this blog literally has tea in the title - it would be a crying shame if I abandoned something which for so long, has been part of my life mantra. Hence why, … Continue reading Afternoon Tea at Cliveden House: A Very British Day Out
Now, hopefully the title doesn't come across as patronising to anyone who has either been to Porto or knows it well. My reasoning for the title is that I feel a common misconception is that Lisbon is *the* place to be, and Porto is just a smaller version that isn't really worth visiting. I won't lie … Continue reading Why You Shouldn’t Overlook Porto, Lisbon’s Cool Little Sister
I didn't really know what to expect with Lisbon. I'd seen the pictures of beautiful streets and rooftop bars but still wasn't sure of the overall vibe of the city. It's become a very popular destination recently with almost everyone I know going, or planning to go. This is sometimes something I can get a … Continue reading 8 Things Not To Miss in Lisbon, Portugal
York was somewhere I had dreamed about going for a long time. It’s beautiful, historic and quintessentially English. To be completely honest, I’m not sure how I went this long without going. I’m so glad that I made it to York - it’s a really fun city with an amazing past; it was founded in … Continue reading How To Spend A Weekend In York
Brussels isn't somewhere I had ever hugely considered, I didn't know that much about it and to this day, I'm not quite sure how we ended up deciding to go there. Nonetheless, I'm glad that we did. It's not a huge city centre - small but perfectly formed, with a lot of history, great biscuits … Continue reading 48 Hours in Brussels, Belgium
On a bit of a whim, Hamilton and I recently booked a trip to Quebec City during Air Canada's flight sale. It was just for the weekend (flying out Saturday morning and leaving Sunday evening) and we were super excited for the trip to get us into the festive mood. It's an absolutely stunning place … Continue reading A FESTIVE WEEKEND IN QUEBEC CITY
I wrote just the other day about an evening adventure my boyfriend and I had in London (going up St Paul's Cathedral / eating at Barbecoa). Well, the local fun did not stop with just that day. Only a week later, we both happened to have the same day off (a Thursday) so decided to … Continue reading A DAY OUT IN LONDON | WEEKEND WANDERING
