We all know about Oía and Fira with their sugar-cube houses and cliffside perces, but did you ever hear of Pyrgos, Santorini? 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

We arrived in Boscastle on a baking hot day in June, sweltering in the car as we did laps of the car park at a speed of no faster than 5 miles per hour. That's the one downside to Cornwall; you kind of need a car to get around, but places to park are limited.… Continue reading One Day in Boscastle
I'll be honest. At first sight, Bad Schandau doesn't have the same pretty, slightly spooky, charm of some other olde worlde towns in Saxon Switzerland- one of Germany's lesser known mountain-strewn national parks. But what it lacks in medieval charm, it makes up for in its proximity to so much natural beauty. And not only… Continue reading Bad Schandau, Germany • Wes Anderson Vibes in a Hiking Paradise
It took several visits to Venice before I decided to visit the Palazzo Ducale- or the Doge's Palace, as it's called in English. Despite walking past the beautiful pink palace almost daily whenever I visited, my favoured travel style involves wandering city streets at my own pace, stumbling upon hidden nooks and crannies and favourite… Continue reading A Peek Round the Palazzo Ducale, Venice

We arrived in Broadstairs on a strangely overcast morning in June, while the sea was battering the harbour wall in mammoth crashes and explosions of saltwater. But the atmosphere did nothing to dampen our moods; at first sight of the golden curve of sand and colourful beach huts below the cliffs, we were all round… Continue reading The Best Things to Do in Broadstairs

Its slate-roofed cottages are nestled around a tiny fishing harbour on the north coast of Cornwall, where boats arrive with their catches in the early morning and children hunt in rock pools for crabs, amongst thick ribbony seaweed. This is an idyllic slice of cozy Cornish life,… Continue reading Things to Do in Port Isaac, Cornwall
