As sure as death and taxes is rain in Scotland, and lots of it. My obsessive checking of the forecast was, it turns out, a pointless waste of time. The forecast changed from sunshine to showers roughly every four hours. In fact the word ‘changeable’ couldn’t be bandied about anymore, I was more certain to […]
I hadn’t done a ‘proper’ travelling trip for a long while, one that involves an uncomfortably long haul flight and embracing a new way of living, even if only for a few weeks. I travelled a lot in my twenties but being younger at the time much of my trips were soaked in boozy buckets […]
Bali is flying the flag, raising the bar, smashing it out the park (you get my point) in it’s delightful culinary offerings. Whatever your preference they’ve got it covered here, trust me you will not go hungry. If you are anything like me, you may need to have a quiet word with yourself about your over indulgence, its […]
According to Shepway County Council, Folkestone averages over 2000 hours of sunshine a year making it one of the sunniest places in Britain; not bad for a little seaside town just an hour fast train from London. I didn’t know the sunshine fact before booking, I just knew it needed a reasonably priced and timed […]
Located southeast of Bali, across the Badung Strait are the Nusa trio, Lembongan, Penida and the very little sister Ceningan. Choosing the one to spend our mini break from Bali on was more faff than I thought it would be, but after much deliberation we eventually settled on Nusa Lembongan. You can read about my […]

Choosing an Island took a lot more time than expected! We knew we wanted to explore one of the Islands off of Bali and spent some time reviewing them and chatting to other explorers before finally settling on Nusa Lembongan. It’s a pretty little Island only 30 minutes by speed boat from Bali, but it didn’t […]
The Island was a trip away from the hustle and bustle of Bali (if you can even call it that) and so of course yoga was going to feature heavily on the menu. Despite being a small Island there was a good amount of choice for the yoga seeker, especially in the area of Jungut Batu […]
While Lantau Island had been recommended to me several times, the research had left me confused. I kept thinking that because the cable cars weren’t working (they are planned to be opening again in June 2017 https://www.np360.com.hk/en/ ) I would have to walk from Tung Chung all the way there, I do like a walk […]
I nearly didn’t go. After varied bits of research across forums and website I came to the understanding that because the cable cars were out of action to see the Buddha I would have to walk for at least three hours (they open back up around June 2017 https://www.np360.com.hk/en/explore-np360/cable-car/ ). I figured that with the […]
I’m not sure if I ever considered Hong Kong as a destination. True I had often thought I would love to go there and see the bright lights and fast life of a city other than my hometown London, but more as a good place to pause en route to somewhere lovely. But let me […]
