Walking to the Post Office this morning to send a book to a friend, I was reminded of how incredible the postal service is. I can post a letter to someone across the country or even across the world, for the change in your pocket, and they'll receive it a few days later. Earlier this … Continue reading A Day at the Postal Museum
This past New Year my friends and I were incredibly fortunate to stay at the holiday home of one of our friend's parents in a small village near the Austrian border, not far from Udine and Bled. We flew into Venice and from there it was roughly a 2.5 hour drive to the village; we … Continue reading A Long Weekend in the Austrian Mountains
Updated June 2020: I initially wrote this list about 5 years ago but as time changes, so have my goals - hence the update. A bucket list is basically a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Everyone's is different, and it can include literally anything; whatever is important to … Continue reading MY BUCKET LIST
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
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.

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
If you've been following this blog at all, or even scrolled down the home page, you'll notice that recently I've been focussing a little on seeing London from high up places. There was no particular rhyme or reason for this pattern, other than in my down time before leaving London to go to Toronto for a … Continue reading TOP PLACES TO SEE LONDON FROM ABOVE
In 2019, I am coming back to the UK after spending a solid few months in Toronto. I've absolutely loved my time here but I've got a lot of other things I want to get on with that I'm super excited for, so it makes perfect sense to come back on a high note. Having just … Continue reading 2019 TRAVEL WISHLIST
