If I’m having a dinner party or just want to cook an impressive meal, this mushroom and asparagus risotto recipe is one of my go-to’s. It’s easy to serve, warming and comforting. Ideal for the winter months. Although creating perfect risotto takes some time and effort, it’s definitely worth it when you get to see the delighted reactions from your […]
My sister recently got married. It was the most beautiful beach wedding in Koh Samui, Thailand. Family and friends traveled from all corners of the world, reuniting in the gorgeous Banyan Tree Resort. The resort is an ideal, luxurious setting for a wedding. We were treated to large, private villas nestled amongst jungle cliffs that look over […]
Marrakech is such a wonderful place to explore and photograph. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to explore the Atlas Mountains close by or the rest of the country. I’ll just have to return again in the future and see if it’s as fascinating as Marrakech! xx
Photographing Marrakech was such a delight. Surrounded by such gorgeous, rich colours there’s definitely no shortage of golden photo opportunities. Welcome to part 1 of my photo journey.
Our last few days in the Philippines was spent in the most perfect tree house just outside of Manila. After weeks of incredible experiences diving in Palawan, kayaking at El Nido paradise island and exploring Boracay beach, this was a very different kind of adventure. Let me explain how we ended up staying in a […]
I admit it, I’m kind of a beach snob. The ocean’s shade of blue, it’s clarity, the sand’s softness and grain size.. it all matters when you’re on the hunt for the perfect beach. If, like me, you’re determined to sink your feet into warm sand of the world’s best beaches, then I can happily tell you […]
After an incredible time on El Nido, our next stop was Coron Town on the island of Busuanga (also in the province of Palawan). Coron is the main town on the island for diving the world famous WW2 ship wrecks (read all about my Shipwreck diving in Coron Bay). Not to get confused, there’s also […]
Spending a month in the Philippines was one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. It was my boyfriend and I’s first big travel trip together, so that definitely added to the excitement. We wanted a more unusual beach destination, in SE Asia, with world-class dive sites (since we’re both keen divers). Also so we […]
After all the “hard work” of searching for the perfect wedding resort, we decided to treat ourselves in Bangkok to an evening amongst the clouds, overlooking the city’s glittering nightlife at Vertigo and Moon Bar, Bangkok. I’d heard all about the rooftop restaurant and bar at the top of the luxurious Banyan Tree Hotel, so couldn’t wait […]
You may have already guessed now, I’m a huge lover of nutritious, hearty salads, especially this Quinoa & Roast Vegetable Salad with Feta. It is so good! I’ve started including quinoa in a lot of my meals now. As well as really enjoying the nutty, chewy taste of these grains, they’re incredibly good for you. […]
