Something a little different today, pals.

Königstein, Saxony • A guide to the spookiest but prettiest place I ever stayed

The train followed the River Elbe as it meandered all the way from Dresden to the little platform in Königstein, where we hopped off eager to be in the fresh air.

Snorkeling in Madagascar

As somebody who is scared of basically 99% of all things, I never imagined I would be brave enough to stick my head under the water and swim for a prolonged amount of time, in the actual open sea. It's just not my style. But, unlike that time I went jet-skiing in Antigua, snorkeling in… Continue reading Snorkeling in Madagascar

National Trust Properties in Devon • The Tale of the Parminter Cousins and the Hexagonal House

A La Ronde is somehow unique from the other National Trust properties in Devon. The story of the Parminter Cousins- trailblazing female travellers before their time- definitely has something to do with it. The 18th century souvenirs crammed into glass cabinets galore is also rather intriguing. And then there's the house itself, all sixteen quirky… Continue reading National Trust Properties in Devon • The Tale of the Parminter Cousins and the Hexagonal House
