Girls' Weekend in London

Bustling, chaotic, loud, vibrant and beautiful (if a little crazy) - London is not a sleepy affair.

While wind bites and breath catches, we set afoot with childlike glee, ready to explore.

Vlog: A weekend in Dubai, Fairmont The Palm

Oh, Dubai. With your crystal blue waters, plethora of shops and wonderful rays of sunshine: you really do feel like a lifetime ago.

Thankfully - we have YouTube to relive memories over, and over. YAY! Would you like to come join?

One Day In London

There are great cities and then there are the ones so remarkable that they become permanently etched in your sensory memory.

So when Gareth pulled me aside last week with the crazy proposition of going to London for the day I all too naturally responded with an enthusiastic, heck yeah!

My Hotel Experience: Fairmont The Palm, Dubai

What does an outstanding luxury hotel and a desert have in common?

More than meets the eye, trust me.

Vlog: 24 Hours in Sydney

I write this on such a bittersweet note as I look back at some fantastic memories made in such a beautiful country. They say all good things come to an end, but I'm all too ready to cherish endings and anticipate new beginnings!

How I Afford To Travel The World

Like all great feats of magic, travel inspires a wave of emotions like no other: for without exploring, we are nothing. Oh woe to the one who mistakes travel as superfluous!

My Italian Au Pair Experience

I'll never forget the distinct feeling of adventure that washed over my body that summer's day.

There I sat in Stanstead airport wondering what on earth I was doing, where I was going to, who I would be living with and what kind of journey lay ahead.

I was experiencing a bizarre yet poetically pure mix of fear and excitement. You see I believe when you're so immensely excited about something yet equally petrified then VOILA, you my friend are doing something of true value.

So I say to you, do it just like I did.

My Hotel Experience: Pier One Hotel, Sydney Harbour

Sydney. So beautiful, powerfully iconic and mesmerising in her own right: the city itself is a true sight to behold. Approximately 11,000 miles of vast oceans and land separates the sunshine city with my Emerald Isle making it almost incomprehensible to imagine for us poor rain trodden Irish.

And as that very same rain pours on one side of the Atlantic, on the other it shines brightly and proudly for all to see her glory.

It's time I tell you a little more.

Vlog: The Real Australia

Beaches, lakes, mountains, rivers and forests; these are a few of my favourite (Australian things).

Oh, pleaaaase come.

Let me show you how spine tinglingly awesome this country is.

Five Fabulously Priced Airbnb's

Packed with history, art, diverse culture and natural beauty, Europe challenges the traveler with its density of riches. Unfortunately, it often comes at a hefty price.

Vlog: Surprise Trip to Sydney

Diverse, vibrant and simply stunning - it comes as no surprise to admit my almost worrying fondness for this city of sheer beauty. And now, it's time for me to properly show you!

My Hotel Experience: Gran Bahia del Duque, Tenerife

The sun rises showing her face against the backdrop of the warm-hued Canarian buildings. Birds chirp, children play and adults blissfully relax: holidaying, as it should be. Here I am, smiling at the fact this resort holds over ten years of memories in my heart.

5 Awesome things to do in NYC

New York; noisy, colorful, vibrant and bursting with culture. It's the original city that never sleeps, its inhabitants never stop dreaming and the spirit of unity will never dissipate from the hearts of New Yorkers.

So, you've bought the flights and now you're in hot pursuit of something a little different. Ta-dah. You've arrived. Fancy something a little different perhaps? Kerchiiiing well - you're in luck, let me enlighten you.. 

24 hours in Seville

Given the current flurry of snow, it's feels rather fitting to relive sunnier days spent in the Andalusian city of Seville. Many overlook this hidden gem opting for Barcelona or Madrid but trust me when I say 'Sevilla' deserves infinite appreciation..

Home to mouthwatering (and budget friendly) tapas, souring temperatures and a bucket load of culture; why wouldn't you want to visit?!

My Hotel experience: The Corinthia London

I've genuinely been itching to write a hotel series for quite some time but have always felt a little worried about how to approach it. Time has passed and I now appreciate the fact I work hard and enjoy traveling so why shouldn't I stay where I want?

I completely understand hotels are a lot of money, but this only makes me more eager to honestly and genuinely write about my experiences before you part with your money. 

Now, come see it through my eyes..

Christmas in Tenerife

Sunshine, seafood, ridiculously oversized sunglasses and sunscreen - just a few of the essential components required of a Christmas spent in Tenerife. Bliss. 

If I may, let me tell you what it's like to spend Christmas Day basking in the warmth of the glorious Canarian sun..

48 Hours in London

London; the city of adventure, cobbled streets, angry cyclists and modern decadence. Whilst I've been in the capital a few times this autumn for business, I've yet to pop over for pleasure; thus the spontaneous bout of wanderlust was born.

To cut a long story short, I booked flights, a hotel room and on a whim wrote a romantic card, surprised Peter and summoned him to accompany me on a trip to one of our favourite cities.
