A Weekend in Bath
At the beginning of December my boyfriend and I escaped London for a much-needed weekend away in the beautiful city of Bath. I had wanted to visit Bath for so long and I was certainly not disappointed in my dreams of Regency glamour and visions of Austen at every corner. The golden stone of the […]
The London Diaries: Snapshots
I must take about 5 million crappy photos on my phone a day, and it gives me an infinite amount of pleasure to look back on them as little snapshots of moments and memories. Here are a few during my first couple of months of living in London. Please note the coffee cups and feel […]
Travel Diaries: Barcelona
For someone as pale and pasty as myself, I think I’ve done a pretty great job of chasing the sun around the world this year.

My Travel Essentials
So, I’m back from my travels, three-month holiday, spiritual experience, whatever you want to call it. And rather than wallow in nostalgia and sadness, I’ve put together a little list of my travel essentials. So here is my gift to you, and I hope that I am able to impart at least a little wisdom […]
Travels 2016: Auckland
New Zealand! As I sit here writing and reminiscing about the beginning of our trip to this AMAZING country, a month later we are actually about to leave. Unfortunately, the real world beckons, and as sad as that is, I have nothing but happy and wonderful memories of the last country on our travels. Auckland is […]
