When the hustle and bustle of London gets a little too hustley and bustley, it’s time for an escape from the city. I rounded up a couple girlfriends and made for Bristol, less than three hours by bus from London. While Bristol is significantly less populated than London, the metropolitan area is the 12th largest […]
The ultimate girls’ weekend in the Yarra Valley (if you’re a foodie, you’re going to love this!)
If your weekend didn’t include wine, chocolate and cheese, did you even have a girls’ weekend? I’m going to say no. Thankfully, my recent glamping excursion in the Yarra Valley had all that and more. Less than two hours from Melbourne’s CBD is the Yarra Valley, one of the world’s top wine growing regions. Drive […]
48 hours: What to see, do and eat in Coral Bay
On the west coast of Australia, 11.5 hours north of Perth, sits a cute town called Coral Bay. It’s a tiny little tourist town set on the Ningaloo Reef. When I say “set on” the reef, I mean you can take a few steps off the shore and you’ll stub your toe on it. Ningaloo […]

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. And we all know Rudolph. But do you know Baffin, Nutti, Camus or Spike? They’re members of the Cairngorm reindeer herd in Britain’s largest national park. These lesser-known reindeer hail from the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland. Yes… you heard […]
The best Christmas windows in London
There’s something magical about Christmastime in London. There’s a feeling of anticipation in the air, as if you’re the star of a romantic movie and absolutely anything can happen. Crowds and chaos fade away as the street performers adopt a merry mood and travelers pause to gaze at the holiday window decorations. Walking the streets […]
The 8 best arcades in Cardiff (and what to buy there)
Cardiff, Wales is unlike any capital city I’ve ever visited. Forget any preconceived notions that capitals are over-crowded, ultra-busy and unfriendly. Cardiff is a breath of fresh air, and quite possibly the friendliest city I’ve ever visited. Strangers stopped me on the street to find out if my accent is American. I braced myself as […]
