Going back to India—specifically, to Himachal—has always stirred a curious mix of emotions in me. And yes, before anyone clutches their pearls, let me just say: I know Himachal is stunning. Trust me, I’m not blind. Nestled in the northern stretch of India, brushing shoulders with the mighty Himalayas, it’s the kind of place travel…

Chasing Waterfalls: A Hike Through the Brecon Beacons’ Four Falls Trail
TLC might’ve said “don’t go chasing waterfalls,” but I’m willing to bet they never stumbled upon the Brecon Beacons in full flow. Welcome to the self‑proclaimed “waterfall country,” where we scuttled off for my mum’s birthday (sorry, TLC—she’s still holding a grudge). Tucked into South Wales’ Brecon Beacons National Park, the Four Falls Trail is…
One suitcase, two cultures and zero regrets (thanks desi guilt)
It’s no secret that I love to travel — I’ve probably said it (and posted about it) more times than I can count. But it’s only in the last year or two that I properly started solo travelling. Social media is full of women confidently jetting off on their own, exploring new countries like it’s…
A lazy girl’s 4 day guide to Salzburg and beyond
I won’t lie—Austria had never really been high on my travel list. In fact, I barely considered it. The thought of Vienna, a big city packed with one museum after another, didn’t really appeal to me. But it didn’t take long to change my mind. It all started with a rewatch of The Sound of…
Unmasking Venice: a traveler’s guide to the carnival
*ring ring*, it was Stefania. My friend who’d I’d met in my travels through Cyprus last year. One of the few where we had actually managed to stay in touch and had promised to see each other again in a different country, under a different sky. Excitedly she said ‘sooooo, Venice carnival? Are you in?’ …
Bites of Venice: A taste of Tradition
*grumble*grumble* Did you hear that? Was that my stomach? For me, italian food comes to one of the best and most diverse types of food of Europe. With spicey, meaty, and deep flavours is it a surprise my stomach is rumbling? Despite italy being so well known for all of its culinary delicacies, I often…
Tucepi and Beyond: A Flash of Croatia
I can practically count the years that Croatia has been on my bucket list. I can’t imagine anyone who would say otherwise, with flashes of waterfalls, mountains and beautiful weather coming to mind as soon as we think about it. Over the past few years the price of traveling to Croatia (even from the UK,…
Konichiwa Kyoto: Our top 5 picks
Charles Baudelaire once said “What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open.” Kyoto is a city like no other, filled with culture and history combined with a technilogical twist, making Japan one of the most modern nations and making us all sit up…
A visual guide into our tasteful adventures in Marrakech
When we think about moroccan cuisine, I think our minds go directly to the most common type of food that we have heard of, namely Tagines. However, moroccan food has so much to offer than just this! Meat in all its glory (sorry vegetarians!). SO many spices and aromas! All of this looked yum and…
5 things to do in London over the winter
Brrr, the cold has finally started to hit us, with car windows frosting over in the morning, heating turned on to the max and hot drinks being made left, right and centre. As I sit down with my cup of tea (how can a yorkshire girl not?!) I’m looking out of the window and planning the…
