Hello! Hi! Remember me? *slowly creeps out from the rock under which I have been cosily hibernating for about 3 years* It’s been a minute since I last posted on here, but a quick peek at my stats page tells me that you guys are still here… so thank you for sticking around! The big […]
One of the things I’m really struggling with during the lockdown is the fact that we can’t travel. For me, my mind only seems to truly switch off when I’m exploring somewhere new. Travelling is my way of hitting my mental ‘refresh’ button. It’s almost as though by processing more immediate physical decisions like “which […]
You may have guessed from the fact that I haven’t posted on here for 5 months that life has been raaaaather busy lately! We recently bought a house and I had grand plans to blog about the reno/redecorating process (mainly for us to look back on in the future), but its been so full on […]
I’m currently sitting in Starbucks with a big old cuppa on a rainy day in Cambridge (not as hipster as it sounds btw… I came in to source some coffee and cake while the hubs runs a half marathon….#health), so it feels so lovely to be able to look back on our time in sunny […]
Well, here it is! The last post from our road trip around beautiful, beautiful New Zealand. We flew into Queenstown from Sydney – it was a three hour flight with one of the coolest, but also scariest, landings ever. The approach to the runway is between two mountains, and we were treated to an insane […]
Milford Sound has been on my bucket list for the longest time. It’s one of the better known sights in New Zealand, and I was excited to see it for myself after having stared photos in magazines, books, and blogs for so long! It’s strange, but I actually felt a little apprehensive as we drove […]
While we were in Wanaka, we decided to take a little drive to the nearby Mount Aspiring National Park. We were quite tired from travelling, so we decided not to take on any of the longer hikes. Instead, we drove around, took in the beautiful scenery, and did a couple of shorter walks. First, we […]
After a few days exploring Mount Cook National Park, we drove for around two hours to Wanaka. New Zealand is such a great place for a road trip – the roads themselves are really easy and fun to drive and the scenery is insane. On our way down to Wanaka, we stopped of at Lindis […]
Visiting Mount Cook National Park has been on my bucket list for a while now, thanks to the amazing photos knocking around on social media! After flying into Queenstown, we drove for around two and a half hours to the Glentanner Park Center – our home for two nights, giving us three days to explore […]
This week I went on a work trip to Leiden, a beautiful city in the Netherlands. Within easy reach of its popular neighbour Amsterdam (a 15 minute train ride from Schipol Airport, to be exact), Leiden is the perfect place for anyone that wants to experience Holland without the crowds. Connected by a network of […]
