This beautifully quaint town in the Alsace region of France is the perfect weekend getaway in Europe. Be it for a romantic trip for two or a more relaxed girls trip, it is full of cobbled streets with small boutiques and delicious restaurants for you […]

In a world dominated by technology, sometimes we forget about the wonderful history that created the world we live in today. Castles are a moment of history halted in time, that can transport you back into the world of noble knights and daring queens. Here […]

I wouldn’t say that Cologne is a must do city trip but if you are doing a road trip of German or know that you will be close by I think it’s worth checking out. I know a lot of river cruises stop by Cologne […]

Amsterdam is known as the place of hens and stag dos, openly available weed, clogs and bikes but there is more to this city than just that. I certainly didn’t fall in love with Amsterdam as it was a bit too touristy for me but […]

We had just spent the last two weeks working our way down South, but it was now time to go North again… straight up the middle of the USA! From Louisiana, we headed across to Houston Texas to visit the infamous NASA Space Center. Having […]

Jamie Oliver’s restaurants have had varying levels of success over the years with Jamie’s Fifteen going from four down to two, leaving Cornwall and London as the last two. Well, I’m glad that they are still running for two reasons. One, the food is unassuming and […]

This lunch was amazing. We had booked the estate tour, tasting and 6 course discovery menu at the Voyager Estate. Unfortunately, the day we visited it poured with rain all day long so we were unable to do the tour and tasting (which we were […]

The southern part of America was all about music and food, two of my greatest loves, so excuse me if I forgo some of the other details!

Leaving the East coast, we headed West with the aim of reaching Chicago in 3 days. Our first stop was for lunch at a McDonalds in Pennsylvania – but this wasn’t just any old McDonalds, it was the famous Big Mac Museum. The Big Mac […]

New York City. Empire city. The Big Apple. What an amazing place. I don’t know how anybody could visit here and not fall in love with the city. It’s like you’re in a movie. The neighbourhoods are all so different and vibrant. The food is […]

I was very excited to firstly, be at a winery and secondly, be having lunch there. This really is a luxury whilst we are travelling and only something we are allowing ourselves once every few months. Warm soft french bread with a perfectly crisp crust […]

After almost 8 weeks in Central America we were really looking forward to being somewhere a little bit more civilized. Central America was amazing but there is only so much rice, beans and tortillas that one can handle! Interestingly, Cuba turns out to be a […]

Our first experience of Cuba was fantastic. We were picked up in a very well looked after Red Chevrolet Dodge with red leather diamond cushioned seats, cream leather interiors, spacious seating and open windows for air conditioning against the balmy night. It was a bouncy […]

Our second tour started where the last one left off – Antigua, Guatemala. It was the week leading up to Semana Santa (Easter Week), one of the busiest weeks in Central America being a predominantly Catholic region. We did encounter lots of traffic and busyness […]

This was a last minute dinner before we left Sydney and I’m so glad we squeezed it in. First up, their cheese plate was amazing. Unfortunately I didn’t take note of the names of the cheeses however if you ever go to Nel’s, I would […]

People plan holidays in many different ways. Some people prefer to take each day as it comes and rock up to a hostel at 7pm hoping for a bed and deciding how long they will stay at each place once they get there. Others prefer […]

I love George Columbaris and The Press Club is an institution in Melbourne so I was extremely excited to try out their tasting menu. We went for the four course menu which still included so many dishes – I wonder if we really missed out by not […]

The photos from Sixpenny do not do it justice – the lighting wasn’t great but the atmosphere was lovely. You have the feeling of being in someones home… because you are. If you didn’t know Sixpenny was here, you would walk straight past it not […]

We were standing opposite an extremely laid back, tall gentleman who introduced himself as Charles. He was our pilot for the flight and after explaining a few safety precautions he proceeded to organise us in the plane – the two tallest at the back, two […]

What a first week and a half… it was absolutely crazy! We boarded flight QF7 from Sydney to Dallas on Wednesday the 8th of March. Luckily, our request to upgrade to business class on points was granted, making the 15-hour journey very enjoyable. Brooke even […]
