Ultimate Havana Guide
Where to stay We stayed with Rafael via Airbnb and I would highly recommend you stay there if you want a real and authentic experience in Havana. Rafael has 2 rooms for rent. The yellow room and the blue room. We stayed in the blue room whilst we were there but both rooms looked pretty…
How to travel to Cuba as a tourist
Do I need a visa? Yes. When you book your flights you should be directed to a website that can organise the visa for you. It costs around $100 each which you pay for online. I think you can also purchase the visa at the airport before you fly but I always prefer to get…
Inside Vizcaya, Miami – USA
I have been to Vizcaya several times for photoshoots but this is the first time I really explored the inside and it did not disappoint. It reminds me a lot of Versailles in Paris, but just a smaller more Italian version! At the entrance, there is a large open space with glass panels on the…
Botanical Gardens, Miami Beach – USA
The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens are a lovely tranquil oasis away from the tourists & busyness of South Beach. It is located on Dade Boulevard and 19th street. The Botanical Gardens is a 2.6 acre plot of land showcasing subtropical plants from all over the world including south Florida’s native plants. I came here for…
Liebster Award 2018
I feel so special and privileged to have been nominated for the Liebster Award 2018. I never thought that anyone would ever read my travel blog, but it turns I was wrong! It started as a blog for myself, to get me through a really tough time in my life. To give me purpose and…
Daycation at St Regis Bal Harbour Hotel, Bal Harbour – USA
So yesterday I enjoyed a Daycation. And if you have never heard this word before, that’s ok, but you will learn it quickly! A Daycation is basically a vacation for just one day. DaycationApp.com is a new company in Miami where you can spend a day in a 5 star hotel to use their spa…
Umbrella Sky, Coral Gables – USA
The Umbrella Sky Project is a travelling art installation which has previously been in Paris & Lisbon. It arrived in Miami on June 13th 2018 and will only be here for a couple more weeks (until September 16th 2018 I think) so if you’re in Miami or will be visiting soon, go go go! The…
Bal Harbour Shops, Miami – USA
Bal Harbour Shops Bal Harbour is a village on the northern tip of Miami Beach, which is mostly hotels, houses, restaurants and shops but the most iconic & famous building is the Bal Harbour Shops. The Bal Harbour Shops is a former World War II army barracks which was reformed in 1965 into an open…
Miami Beach Lifeguard Towers – USA
Miami Beach lifeguard towers are famous all around the world! People come from different countries to see them, photograph them and pose on them. So I thought I would do a blog post showing you all 36 Miami Beach lifeguard towers and tell you exactly where each one is. On August 11th 2018, my husband…
Volunteering in Panama
*** Before I start talking about this, I just want to quickly say that I have not included any photographs of the children in the orphanage as I didn’t take any photographs while I was there. I didn’t take any photographs as Ana advised me not to as to protect the children’s identities, locations and…
Red Frog Beach – Panama
Red Frog Beach is one of those places that you read about and it sounds incredible, but when you are actually there, it kind of doesn’t live up to the expectations and isn’t as incredible as you had read. I mean, there is nothing wrong with it, don’t get me wrong, but I have been…
Under Cover, Panama City – Panama
Whilst walking around Casco Viejo’s old and crumbling streets, I came across the shop Under Cover. I was instantly drawn to the bright colours, wide range of products and then the owner Maria. We talked about my photography, my blog and why I am in Panama and she told me about herself, visiting England and…
Casco Viejo – Panama
Casco Viejo is the old town of Panama City and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. This might come as a surprise, especially since we went to actual paradise, the San Blas islands and spent time with the Kuna Indians.. but.. I think Casco Viejo is my favourite part of Panama so…
Kuna Indians – Panama
Since I knew we were going to visit Panama for 6 weeks, the first thing I wanted to do was visit the San Blas Islands. Firstly, because they look like actual paradise (read my blog post here) and secondly I wanted to see the culture for myself. I had seen the photographs and coming from…
San Blas Tours – Panama
If you are looking for Paradise – honestly, look no further. This place could not be any more perfect if it tried. Ok, maybe I would change a couple of things, but it comes pretty damn close to perfection! If you love white beaches, crystal clear waters, culture, relaxation and a ‘back to basics’ way…
9 things that surprised me about Miami – USA
We have been in Miami for a little over a month now and I wanted to talk about the top 9 things that surprised me about being here. It has been a culture shock and not what we expected at all, not that that’s a bad thing at all! We love how diverse and different…
1st month in Miami – USA
Happy New Year everyone! So we have officially been here a month and I just wanted to talk about several things. Where we stayed, where we have eaten, things I have enjoyed and things I haven’t etc. So first of all, the first 2 weeks was beautiful warm weather, then these last 2 weeks has…
1 hour in Borough Market, London – England
I recently spent a couple of days in London and wanted to visit places I had never been to before. Borough Market was one of them. I have only ever heard good things about the place and people so wanted to see and experience it all for myself. “I come here because of the people…
Richmond Park, London – England
I’ve been to London lots of times in my life either visiting friends, family or on holidays. I love London and all the touristy things to do. But this time, I wanted to visit places I have never been to before. So on the first day in London, myself and Karen spent the day in…
Pasta in Piacenza – Italy
My brother lives in Austria and flights from Marseille to anywhere close to him costs around €400. So, rather than paying all that money for my husband and I to fly there, we drove. We drove through Italy and arrived in Austria in the evening after spending the day in the car. To break up…
Pont du Gard – France
Pont du Gard! What a beauty! My husband and I have wanted to visit this bridge for several years now and finally got round to it when a friend was visiting us for the weekend. It’s a shame we didn’t come in Summer to enjoy it in the heat and splash around in the water.…
La Citadelle, Saint Tropez – France
La Citadelle of Saint Tropez is situated on a small hill behind the town and port. I came here when visiting Saint Tropez on a solo day trip. Read my other blog post here. La Citadelle is a little walk away from the centre of town but it is very easy to access. There is…
Saint Tropez – France
Saint Tropez is a beautiful town in the French Riviera on the South coast of France. It is famous as a millionaire’s playground and a place where the rich and famous come for holidays. There are always super yachts moored up on this small harbour and people dressed to impress walking around. There are lots…
St Victoire – France
I have lived in Provence for around 5 years now and have always wanted to go up to the top of the famous St Victoire. I have had picnics around the bottom several times and once made it up to the refuge. But never to the top – until now! The St Victoire is a…
Tarragona – Spain
I went to Spain to spend a weekend at Port Aventura with some friends. We stayed in Salou, which I wouldn’t recommend as it was a horrible tourist spot with tacky souvenirs and gross English people! But anyway, we went to Cadaques on the Friday for a couple of hours. Spent Saturday at Port Aventura. And…
Cadaqués – Spain
Cadaqués is a beautiful town on the North East coast of Spain. It is further North than Barcelona and is actually really close to the French border. We stopped here for a couple of hours on our way to Salou for a weekend in Port Aventura. Cadaqués is famous for being where Salvador Dali was…
Coulée Verte René-Dumont, Paris – France
After visiting Rue Cremieux, I wandered around the neighbouring areas without a destination in mind. I stumbled across the Coulée Verte René-Dumont which is an elevated linear park situated on an old railway. It is sometimes known as the “Promenade Plantée” too. The park stretches 4.7km over Paris with views over the Parisian buildings and life…
Rue Cremieux, Paris
Rue Cremieux (Crémieux in French) is Paris’ version of London’s Notting Hill. The houses on Rue Cremieux are very cute, bright, colourful and full of fun! Each house has its own personality and charm. It’s a lovely little road to walk down, situated next to Gare de Lyon. It’s very tucked away and hard to…
Disneyland Paris – France
I’m not a huge Disney fan. I mean I watched the films when I was younger but I’m not obsessed like it seems everybody else is. But when we were in Paris for the weekend, we decided we should go. We have already seen a lot of Paris, but had never been to Disneyland, so…
An afternoon in Paris – France
I went to Paris for a long weekend with my husband to see one of our friends before the big move to the USA. I haven’t seen him in over a year so it was really nice to spend some time with him again after so long! We lived in Paris around 5 years ago…
