“Heeeeeeeere Queenie! Heere Girl!” The marshmallow, thrown from the hand of our tour guide, landed in the water with a plop and bobbed up and down a few times. At first, we couldn’t see anything moving in the thick patches of weeds and algae. Then, what looked like a bumpy dark log started to glide […]
I’d heard a great deal about people heading to Egypt to go diving, and that the Red Sea is supposed to be one of the best diving spots in the world – but I hadn’t given much thought to what it would be like in terms of accommodation, the surroundings or what else it might […]
Being English I’d heard of the Eden Project before and in my head I had a visual image of the place being giant golf ball shapes protruding out of the earth, yet I never really understood what the place represented. Situated in Cornwall the Eden Project is built upon an old Kaolinite pit and consists […]
The rivalry between Brazil and Argentina dates back to colonization times with historical roots and it isnt only restricted to football. We argue about who’s better at football, which side of the Iguazu Falls is prettier, who makes the best bbq, the list just goes on and on. But the rivalry stands aside when talking […]
When we arrived at our hotel in York, the first word to catch my eye in one of the posters displayed in the lift when we were going to our room was ‘chocolate’. To which my response was obviously an instantaneous ‘chocolate, where?, I want it. NOW’. Seeing my despair, the very friendly hotel manager […]
Almost 40 years ago, my parents met on a ski holiday in Austria. Seeing that it worked out so well for them, skiing became a family tradition, and I spent most of my childhood Christmas holidays in the Swiss, Austrian, Italian or French Alps. We love exploring new ground, so you can imagine what a […]
The Polish Southwestern city of Wroclaw has found itself involved in many a power struggle over the years. The city’s strategic location at the heart of Central Europe inevitably led to numerous battles, but from the grip of Communism and scars of World War 2 the city has emerged with a strong identity of its own. Prior […]
A couple of weekends ago we visited the historic city of York courtesy of EnjoyEngland and visitYork, we were lucky enough to be staying in Dean Court Hotel. York was the perfect choice for a historic weekend break being only a 2 hour direct journey from London’s Kings Cross with East Coast. Great Western’s Dean Court Hotel boasts […]
I didn’t know much about him before visiting Barcelona, other than his name and architecture is synonymous with the Catalan city. However, my visit to Barcelona and my brief exposure to the memorable work of Antoni Gaudí left me wanting to know more. Gothic Architecture & Sagrada Familia Senyor Gaudí aside, Barcelona’s old town is dominated […]
If someone had told me twelve years ago when I was a performing arts student that at some point in the future I´d be visiting Stratford Upon Avon, Shakespeares birthplace – I would never have believed it. Considering the financial struggle the majority professional actors go through, England seemed like a very far away land which […]
It has been something that had been bugging me for a while, being on a press trip or even just on holiday and tweeting, checking in yet not everyone was able to visualise the trip. Non techie people that I knew just either weren’t on twitter or just couldn’t keep up with the commentary. People […]
Apart from females, needles and men in suits who seem to get off on talking at me about business finance I’m not really that scared of anything. Needles is the main one, I HATE getting jabs before travelling, but they’re a necessity so I get them done. Other things that scare people aren’t so necessary, […]
