My sister has just left Egypt. She was living there with her fiance for 2 years, so it became my ‘home’ for a while. I used to visit her all the time in the non-stop, wonderfully chaotic city of Cairo. It’s pretty ‘centrally’ located (from the UK and Europe) so flights to Egypt can be found at […]
During my last few weeks in London, I couldn’t wait to show my dad my favourite restaurant in Mayfair called Sketch. It’s a huge cluster of uniquely-designed, eclectic restaurants in a gorgeous Grade II listed townhouse. There’s a casual cafe, a forest room specialising in ‘Afternoon Tea,’ a brand-new pink room recently renovated (above), a three-michelin […]
I recently went to Dans le Noir in London. A dining concept where you eat your meal in pitch darkness, served by blind guides. It was incredible and nothing I’ve ever experienced before. My friend Rosie and I got dolled up (rather pointless I must admit) and madly rushed over to Farringdon in true london style. […]
My last few days in Abu Dhabi were perfectly relaxing – just what I needed. My trip there mostly involved lots of time by the pool, gym, shopping, waterpark rides, movies and the most wonderful brunch at the Emirates Palace. Ok, that probably doesn’t sound very relaxing at all. I always feel I need to make the most of […]
The other day I had the most wonderful time at Yas Beach in Abu Dhabi. It was the first time I’d been there and I had no idea how lovely it was! We got a pass from our hotel here on the island, hopped on the little Yas shuttle bus and entered a pretty, cosy beach. The […]
When most of us think of travel magazines, our minds flick to images of that classy oceanfront resort, the restaurant with panoramic views and hammocks on a serene beach. We all love to dream of beautiful destinations and checking in to a room with a view. Discovering the world through the eyes of Conde Naste and the Lonely […]
1. I really love the group of writers at Elite Daily. The women section is all about female empowerment. I read them and think ‘Yes!’ or ‘This is a seriously good life lesson’ and immediately feel the need to share the articles to all my friends – Elite Daily. 2. The girls behind this blog […]
I’ve been reminiscing over past summers. Growing up my dad used to take our family on adventurous holidays every year. We still try to keep this tradition as much as we can. My dad is a true outdoor, adventure man. He’d happily live in a tent on a mountain, eating food cooked from the fire every day […]
It’s officially summer! I’m sure all Londoners and London visitors are wondering what the best things are to do in the city this summer. June is around the corner (where have the last 6 months gone, seriously?!), where London turns in to a hedonistic playground of non-stop fun. Events, shows, gigs and new venues will be popping up left, […]
Sadly, days spent sipping cocktails at luxurious, bohemian hotels don’t last forever. I’m back at work now, offshore in cold and rather rough seas! Greece seems like a distant dream now, but not to worry, I’m already planning my next adventure. I’m hoping for a European weekend-getaway before spending a few weeks in the USA. […]
