Seafood at L’Altro Baffo, Otranto

Seafood at L’Altro Baffo, Otranto

You may have already guessed by now that my partner and I are completely food obsessed. Especially when travelling around Italy. It has to be one of the best places to travel in the world for food. Or perhaps very close behind Bangkok’s street food. Most of the dining we did in Puglia was either […]

One Day in Ostuni

One Day in Ostuni

Our next stop in Puglia, after the incredible lunch at Masseria il Frantoio, was probably my favourite part of the trip: Ostuni, The White City. It’s famous for bright whitewashed walls – extra bedazzling in the Italian sun – dotted with coloured doors, green cacti and potted plants. It’s really one of the prettiest little towns I’ve ever […]

Sunset at Polignano a Mare

Sunset at Polignano a Mare

After spending several relaxing days in Monopoli, we hopped back in our rental car and set off for the popular beach town, Polignano a Mare (only 15 minutes drive away). The atmosphere in both towns are on complete opposite ends of the Puglian scale. As soon as we arrived in Polignano a Mare, it quickly became obvious where […]

The Best of Monopoli, Puglia

The Best of Monopoli, Puglia

My latest travel adventures took me to Monopoli in Puglia, a region in Southern Italy with overwhelming beauty. Coming here is the ultimate escape from the tourist masses. The whole of Puglia is incredibly laid back, where time gratefully slows down and you can instantly feel your body relax. But to be honest, if there’s one reason to come […]

Lima Restaurant, London

Lima Restaurant, London

If you’re looking for a London restaurant to go to for a special occasion, then Lima restaurant in Fitzrovia could be the perfect choice. I came here with my family after reading great reviews of the creative menu. Also because Lima is the first and only Michelin starred Peruvian restaurant in London. I was eager to see what […]

Restaurant 100 Maneiras, Lisbon

Restaurant 100 Maneiras, Lisbon

The Tasting Menu at restaurant 100 Maneiras is truly something special. Since this intimate restaurant at Bairro Alto in Lisbon has no menu, you’re welcomed to experience a succession of 10 exquisite and delightfully surprising dishes from chef Ljubomir Stanic. It’s worth opting for the wine pairing too (plus it doesn’t hurt that it’ll be served by a very charming sommelier) […]

Time Out Mercado da Ribeira

Time Out Mercado da Ribeira

As promised in my last 48 Hours in Lisbon post, this one is dedicated to my brunch feast at one of Lisbon’s best food markets, Time Out Mercado da Ribeira. Bringing together some of the city’s most revered names in food and drink, the former fish market is now home to a selection of popular vendors as […]

Formula One Grand Prix Weekend, Abu Dhabi

Formula One Grand Prix Weekend, Abu Dhabi

With much excitement and buzz, the final round of the 2015 Formula One Grand Prix season took place here in Abu Dhabi. The races took place on Yas Island in the impressive, purpose-built Yas Marina Circuit – complete with waterfront views, luxury yachts and the spectacular Viceroy Hotel wrapped around it’s sharp bends. It’s a big occasion […]

Dining in Hakkasan, Abu Dhabi

Dining in Hakkasan, Abu Dhabi

I’m currently in Abu Dhabi, taking full advantage of the great weather and large calendar of events during this popular time of the year. We spent a wonderful evening dining in Hakkasan, one of my favourite restaurants. We started off in the gorgeous blue cocktail bar ordering ‘The Hakka‘ martini – Ketal One vodka, kome to […]

A Photo Journey Through Marrakech – Part 2

A Photo Journey Through Marrakech – Part 2

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
