Akrotiri Beach Santorini; a place where you're technically not supposed to go, but plenty do anyway. I visited Santorini one August (potentially the worst time to visit the island, but I had an absolute blast anyway), and hiked from the red sand beach to the sleepy village of Akrotiri, which seems a million miles away… Continue reading Akrotiri Beach Santorini • Red sand and turquoise sea
If the Village Green Preservation Society was an actual thing, they would love Alfriston and its glorious green.

This beautiful village is hands down, my favourite place to stay in Santorini. Santorini, Greece. Island of whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and (these days), insta-photoshoots galore. Fira, the island's capital, and the little… Continue reading Pyrgos Santorini • Hidden gem of the Cyclades
I spent four months in Norway over the summer of 2017, and after that freezing cold, almost exclusively grey Norwegian summer, I had absolutely no desire whatsoever to return. Apologies to the entire nation. I'm a sunshine loving kind of a gal, so having only witnessed the sun twice during the whole time I was… Continue reading Autumn in Norway
