travelling. lifestyle. eating.
I was thinking lately that there's one group of people that's really going to be hit hard financially by the coronavirus... Travel influencers. I know what you're thinking... boo-freaking-hoo, right? COVID-19 recently affected my own travel plans, as we nearly got stuck in Europe when Trump announced the (latest 🙄) travel ban. We managed to get [...]
There's nothing quite like a holiday to the coast and inhaling that fresh sea air to combat the trepidations of the 'will they won't they' Green Card application limbo. Oh, just me that this situation is specific to? Maybe so, but there's never a bad time to go to the coast, am I right? Well. Except for [...]
Why Black Mirror? Because we've literally just finished watching it. That show is crazy as f*ck. Real uncomfortable to watch. ANYWAY. I just worked out that I can drive to Belgium in the time it'd take me to watch six episodes of a TV show. When I think of all of the crazy-ass long Netflix [...]
What does the South of France make us think of? We think nice wines, yachts, glorious sunsets, vineyards, 'A Place in the Sun' type holiday homes with sea views, and, last but not least, miles and miles of sandy beaches littered with irritating British tourists (I'm British and can confirm how annoying we are as [...]
It's a random Friday night and I should be packing for our trip tomorrow, but, alas, as usual I'm browsing the internet and losing hours. Whilst tidying up some of my blog posts, I came across something I'd written in March 2018 -- my travel goals for 2018. Well, this has gotta be worth a [...]
It's been a while since I've been on holiday or travelled by myself, but being a military spouse I still regularly find myself eating or cafe-ing alone. For many, going into a restaurant or cafe solo will be absolutely no big deal. It might be something you've always done, or perhaps something you've never done [...]
AirBnB has been my go-to website for booking accommodation for years and has successfully supplied me with well-equipped rooms/apartments/houses for good value wherever in Europe I've wanted to stay. Over the past 3 years I've used AirBnB for 26 different accommodations stretching over 15 different countries and here is a list of things, both incredibly [...]
No, my sat nav isn't confused. We just went to the Frankfurt Christmas Market in the centre of Birmingham, UK, and it was bloomin' wunderbar. We snacked our way through smoked meats and cheeses and chocolates and pastries and drank German beer. Here's some photos from our trip: I hope you enjoyed ❤️ <SS>
Being tight-fisted is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because it helps me to be more savvy when planning my finances, and a curse because it does severely restrict some things -- like travel. For instance, up until the age of 26 I'd never set foot outside of Europe. I'd longingly research airfares [...]
Waiting in the queue at the border to drive into Bosnia and Herzegovina, I anxiously tapped my fingers on the steering wheel and wondered what sort of prying questions they might ask about why we're entering their land. Being part of the EU, I'm used to being able to roll between France, Germany, Belgium to [...]
go west, my girl
