The British Hamper Company
I don’t often talk about food on my blog. I usually talk about places I have visited and then discuss what I would recommend and what I would give a miss. But when The British Hamper Company contacted me and asked if I would like to have a hamper full of delicious British foods sent…
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…

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…

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…
Bocas House, Coral Gables – USA
I don’t usually like milkshakes and I blame my mum for that. When we were kids we had our medication with strawberry milkshake and since then I can’t go near the stuff – and even the smell of the Mc Donalds ones makes me feel ill. However, I specifically went to Bocas House for one…
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…

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…

2018 – New year new me
2017 was a tough year for me – I want to write about it soon, just not yet. But 2018 is a new year and a new start. I don’t like when people do the whole “new year, new me” thing but I can totally relate this year. Actually, I take that back. I don’t…
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…
