The butter was melted, the eggs now certainly overcooked, and if I didn’t hook the tray back with my toe in the next 2 seconds the whole thing was going to experience death by drowning. Or I was. It was October 2017 and I’d seen a few pictures circulating of what looked like one of … Read more
I thought I would try to answer a slightly controversial and highly personal question I’ve been getting about holidays to the UAE – which is better, Dubai or Abu Dhabi? Now, I’ve been to both Emirates and loved them individually. They also work great as a multi-centre trip. But there is one of the two … Read more
Welcome to the gazillionth draft of a post explaining what I plan (hope) to be working on in 2021! Each time I’ve sat down to write about why I personally feel it’s time I pivoted (just a teeny bit) from travel blogging, it’s ended up being a rather morose and self-indulgent post about everything that … Read more
There’s a lot to love about Canggu, a chilled-out tourist area of Bali found 20 minutes north of Seminyak. I’ve been twice now (first time in Feb 2016 and again in late 2017) and a lot changed in that time. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, indeed some of the new additions (hello The Lawn … Read more
I have never been more ill on my travels than on my first visit to Bali. Without being too graphic, both my friend and I found ourselves fighting for the bathroom and hotel bound for several days after liberal consumption of cocktails with stomach-upsetting ice cubes. (The cheap local spirits probably didn’t help either!) Needless … Read more
I’ve drafted this post a million times over in my head but have been too fearful to commit it to type until now. But like the band aids I imagine I’ll become most familiar with over the coming years it’s time to rip this off and share the news. We’re having a baby. I’ve seen … Read more
I’ve travelled through Singapore Changi Airport at least 20 times in the last 4 years but my latest layover in Changi was by far the best yet. Voted the world’s best airport (6 years in a row and counting), Singapore Changi has plenty of options for passengers on a layover. From free movies to butterfly … Read more
I’ve been dragging my heels about writing this post. Firstly, because I wondered if reviewing the year was more fun for the writer than the audience (Insta poll saw me stand corrected) and secondly, because 2017 left me feeling a bit meh. The biggest cause of my meh-ery, I think, is due to our move … Read more
No one told me morning sickness would be like this. Or maybe they did and I didn’t listen. Maybe I was too hopeful it wouldn’t happen to me. Or maybe not enough women share how it really is. My intention with this post is not to scare anyone. Many women sail through the first trimester. … Read more
When it comes to travelling in Bali you could quite easily flit from one fantastic hotel pool to another, working your way around the island in a never-ending stream of Instagram moments. (That’s the way I like to travel anyway!) From infinity pools in the jungle to beachfront beauties, here are 5 of the best … Read more
