Let’s go to Cornwall

Cornwall is one of my favourite places in England. The beaches are amazing and the food represents some of the best of British fare. If you are into surfing then it’s the place to go (surfing post to follow). But even if you are not there is plenty to do, from walking and sailing to…

My Kind of Greece

I love Greece! I love everything about it; the beaches, the food, the beautiful villages and the laid back simplicity of the place. Some of my top 5 experiences are to be found in this country and that is why I can’t stop going back. I have done a lot (and I mean a lot)…

My Top 5 Autumn Breaks

I’m feeling a sense of loss now that summer is officially over. There is nothing like a little trip in the autumn to brighten up the spirit. Check out my top 5 Autumn breaks! PARIS ‘is always a good idea’. I love this city!  I recently visited Paris and discovered a new side to this town.…

Let’s go Camping…

My family and I are passionate about camping. We aren’t seasoned campers but we have been quite a few times over the past two years and have developed a real love for both camping and glamping (glamping post to follow at a later date). We enjoy everything about it; the fresh air, feeling one with…

My Top 5 City Breaks in June

A Weekend in London

I love London! I was born here and have lived here most of my life, other than a few years spent living in Berlin, New York and Los Angeles. It is such a diverse and vibrant city and has something to offer absolutely everyone. I can’t get over how green this city is; there are parks…

The Cannes Film Festival has finally come to an end! During this 12-day event the seaside town of Cannes on France’s Cote D’Azur transforms into a hub of media activity as movers and shakers from the international film industry, celebrities and starspotters take over the area. This is not the only high profile event which takes place…

My family and I went to Ile de Re over Easter. For those of you who don’t know it, it is an island just off the west coast of France near La Rochelle, in the Charente Maritime. It is relatively small being only 14 miles long and 4 miles wide and is filled with the most extensive…

My Top 5 European Island Escapes in May 

May is one of my favourite months in Europe. Spring is in full bloom, the temperatures, although warm, are not blisteringly hot, the sea is warming up and the summer hoardes have not yet arrived. The best of what a place has to offer can be enjoyed to the max. I can’t think of anything…

To Koufonisia with Love

I want to tell you about a real gem I discovered whilst on holiday in Greece with my family last summer. If you are looking for resort hotels, kids clubs and all sorts of sporting activites then this place is not for you. However, if you want to achieve a sense of pure relaxation, relieve yourself…
