Since meeting Dan, he has taken me to so many places in the world. But there was one I was still missing, one elusive continent I was desperate to check off the list: Oceania! Thanks to Skippy the Bush Kangoroo and Paige Toon my obsession with Australia has only grown in recent years. Throw in … Continue reading

I’m back, bitches!
Dear readers, I am SO sorry that I let you down and didn’t write anything for ages (years!). Life has a nasty habit of throwing you a bunch of curveballs and the last couple of years have been filled with a lot of stressful situations that just took over, and so at weekends I didn’t … Continue reading
Salzburg
I’ve been to Austria many times (as a kid every year), but I only ever went to the same place. Then I visited Vienna in 2016 and loved it. This time, I needed to check on some hills… See if they really are alive đ So off to Salzburg we went! Before we left, I … Continue reading
Iceland
Almost as soon as we came back from Texas, we went to Iceland. Felt a bit like that Katy Perry song⊠âYouâre hot then youâre cold!â Iceland has been so heavily advertised these past few years that I was curious to see it for real. We chose to go to Reykjavik and drive around from … Continue reading
Texas discovery
You know those important steps in a relationship? Go on holiday together, have your first fight, join your Netflix accounts? Well, I had a big one when I went to Texas to “meet the parents”. This was just over a year into the relationship, and I hadn’t really met anyone’s parents since high school, so … Continue reading
Malta
I’ve always wanted to go to Italy, but we couldn’t get any cheap flights for it. What we could get though, was Malta, which is the next best thing. They are a mix of Italy and Britain and a succession of Moorish invasions.. They talk in lots of languages and all the signs are multilingual … Continue reading
Tenerife
As if one Spanish trip wasn’t enough, we decided to add another one, this time to the Canary Islands! We took a mini vacation to Tenerife! I’d never been this far south, and Tenerife is such a beautiful island, with palm trees and the Teide rising up in the centre. We stayed on the South … Continue reading
Granada
So a year ago (=D) we went to Granada for some winter sunshine. I know, I know, it’s been forever since I wrote. But, I have been super busy and we travelled so much, I couldn’t keep up! But I’ll be better, I promise! Anyhoo, we flew into Malaga because it was cheaper, then rented … Continue reading
Cologne Christmas Market Bonanza
I love Christmas markets and England doesn’t really have authentic ones. So I made Dan go to Cologne which is famous for its seven Christmas markets. We went on the first weekend of December and were very lucky with the weather as it was very sunny. Cologne is one of my favourite cities, it’s just … Continue reading
The Big Montreal-Florida Adventure
It’s been months and I haven’t yet written anything about my first ever trip to the North American continent. Maybe because it’s been such a long-awaited trip that I first had to digest everything before being able to talk about it. And I was also super busy with work and pre-Christmas preparations and other problems … Continue reading
