Bangkok’s Street Food

Bangkok’s Street Food

My recent trip to Bangkok was exactly what I needed. Time spent with my favourite person, in a city I adore, eating the most delicious food. Every time I go back to Bangkok I always do the same things. I’ve seen all the beautiful temples, markets and famous sights a dozen times, so I just […]

A Hike to Snow Lake, Washington

A Hike to Snow Lake, Washington

There’s so much to do within Seattle – you can visit the space needle, go to the glass museum, visit the many art museums, hunt for one-off pieces at Fremont’s Sunday Market, take a picnic in one of the many parks.. the list goes on! There’s a lot of fun adventures to be had outside of Seattle […]

Sleepless in Seattle

Sleepless in Seattle

I apologize for not writing a post in a very long time! My work dragged me away from blogging and instead tied me to a desk where I spent my time slaving over books and consuming an obscene amount of coffee. (And to think I thought those University days were over!). However it was all worth […]

The Best of Playa del Carmen

The Best of Playa del Carmen

I absolutely love planning a vacation. Reading blogs on the top things to do, best hotels to stay at and restaurants to dine in, and then going there to make my own little reviews. After reading up about Cancun and learning that it doesn’t really portray the ‘real’ Mexico, plus the fact that it’s mostly […]

Cenote Diving in Mexico

Cenote Diving in Mexico

I’m back offshore now after having such an incredible vacation in Mexico and Seattle. It was a whirlwind of non-stop activity and adventure with the most wonderful guy. Pretty much the perfect string of dates :). We rendezvoused at the luggage carousel in Cancun airport, and off we went to collect our rental car and make our way to […]

Fortnum & Mason’s Afternoon Tea

Fortnum & Mason’s Afternoon Tea

I’m a big fan of dressing up for brunch or lunch. Or breakfast and dinner really. Anyhow. Having beautiful food and cocktails throughout the afternoon, while wearing your smartest outfit and heels. And all before dinner? Yes please. This pretty much sums up an afternoon tea experience at Fortnum and Mason. It’s delightfully British and pretty special. […]

Brunch at Granger & Co

Brunch at Granger & Co

If you fancy brunch surrounded by well-heeled London locals, head to Granger & Co. It’s an elegant venue for a fresh and wholesome kick-start to your day, with great coffee (or bellini in my case) and sweet treats in Notting Hill. It was my first time exploring the area, and I absolutely adore it! The 10-minute walk from […]

A Nile Cruise

A Nile Cruise

For as long as I can remember, the prospect of going on a Nile cruise has always been exciting and magical. When I was young I came upon an Agatha Christie book named “Death on the Nile”. The book followed a company of several odd characters as they travelled through the Nile, where the traditional incidents that the […]

Tourist in Chicago

Tourist in Chicago

My last full day in Chicago was spent being a total tourist, hopping on and off a sightseeing bus all over the city. My favourite part of the day was probably seeing Lake Michigan from this angle. The shiny skyscrapers perfectly complimented the bright-blue water dazzling in the sun. We stopped at Navy Pier, right […]

A Chicago Weekend

A Chicago Weekend

Just before coming back onboard, I sneaked in a wonderful weekend in Chicago. I’ve been travelling by myself for the first two years since joining this job, but it seemed a while since I’d gone solo. London was spent socialising with friends and family, Houston was spent making friends, dining and cocktailing every night. I loved every […]
