48 hours sightseeing in Shanghai

48 hours sightseeing in Shanghai

Alive with the constant hum of a million mopeds and illuminated by the sparkling lights of the skyscrapers lining the water's edge, Shanghai is a force to be reckoned with. A city that never sleeps, the Chinese global financial hub had me captivated from the moment I stepped out of the taxi. Undoubtedly modern yet [...]

Some R&R in Richmond, Virginia

Some R&R in Richmond, Virginia

For the final leg of our journey, we packed up our suitcases and our Vegas hangovers and headed to the airport.

Lost in Las Vegas

Lost in Las Vegas

Before our trip, I must admit Vegas wasn't somewhere I'd ever had a burning desire to visit. It looked cool and all but I didn't get the hype and never really planned to investigate what it was all about.

A fan of cute cobbled streets as far as the eye can see?Looking for cafes that will make the Instagram feed green with jealousy? A serious chocoholic? Then Brussels, Belgium is screaming your name. Having not heard too much about the French speaking city before visiting, I was pleasantly surprised with  what I came across. [...]

The adventures of the Red Puffa: how a seasonal trend saved my sanity

The adventures of the Red Puffa: how a seasonal trend saved my sanity

People often ask me why I own so many clothes. They can’t comprehend why one little person would need three variations of the same jumper in different shades of black - and yes, there are different shades of the colour black - or why an individual with only one pair of feet would need five [...]
