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 […]
I admit it, I’m kind of a beach snob. The ocean’s shade of blue, it’s clarity, the sand’s softness and grain size.. it all matters when you’re on the hunt for the perfect beach. If, like me, you’re determined to sink your feet into warm sand of the world’s best beaches, then I can happily tell you […]
After an incredible time on El Nido, our next stop was Coron Town on the island of Busuanga (also in the province of Palawan). Coron is the main town on the island for diving the world famous WW2 ship wrecks (read all about my Shipwreck diving in Coron Bay). Not to get confused, there’s also […]
Spending a month in the Philippines was one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. It was my boyfriend and I’s first big travel trip together, so that definitely added to the excitement. We wanted a more unusual beach destination, in SE Asia, with world-class dive sites (since we’re both keen divers). Also so we […]
If you’re looking at this post you’re probably already considering a trip to Kathmandu. My advice is yes, yes, go! With so many beautiful temples to visit, Tibetan and Nepali culture to learn, wonderfully warm people, and just to experience the bustling life of the city – it is worth the trip. Plus it is home to the […]
After all the “hard work” of searching for the perfect wedding resort, we decided to treat ourselves in Bangkok to an evening amongst the clouds, overlooking the city’s glittering nightlife at Vertigo and Moon Bar, Bangkok. I’d heard all about the rooftop restaurant and bar at the top of the luxurious Banyan Tree Hotel, so couldn’t wait […]
My sister and I booked dinner at Nahm in Bangkok, after discovering it’s one of the Worlds Top 50 restaurants as well as being voted no.1 in ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’. It’s owned by the famous Australian chef David Thompson who also has a Nahm restaurant in London. We put on our best dresses, slipped our heels on and […]
If you’re looking for a modern, stylish hotel in Koh Samui, Thailand, then look no further than The Library Boutique Hotel. I stayed here on a wedding-resort hunt with my sister. It was such a fun trip and staying in this hotel made it just that bit more special. Hidden away down a private street just […]
I’m a big fan of dressing up for brunch or lunch. Or breakfast and dinner really. Anyhow. Having beautiful food and cocktails throughout the afternoon, while wearing your smartest outfit and heels. And all before dinner? Yes please. This pretty much sums up an afternoon tea experience at Fortnum and Mason. It’s delightfully British and pretty special. […]
If you fancy brunch surrounded by well-heeled London locals, head to Granger & Co. It’s an elegant venue for a fresh and wholesome kick-start to your day, with great coffee (or bellini in my case) and sweet treats in Notting Hill. It was my first time exploring the area, and I absolutely adore it! The 10-minute walk from […]
