Inspiration. Travel. Life.
An Alpine adventure is always a good idea and determined as always to make the most of holiday allowance/lapses in the acting-sphere, we ventured to Switzerland for some Autumn sightseeing. Having never been to Switzerland before, we chose to fly into Geneva (the cheapest option) and spend a day there before road-tripping out into the …
We arrived into Hanoi via a propeller plane from Chiang Mai; a mode of transport that I can’t honestly list within my top five favourites but one that gets an honourable mention for transporting us quickly, safely, punctually and providing us with food. My case for why Asian budget airlines are superior to European ones …
Calm emerald waters and warm misty skies that are interrupted only by protrusions of limescale formations and jungle-clad islands adorning the horizon. A place of tranquillity and hidden scenic gems interspersed with well-trodden tourist trails and tourists travelling from near and far. Welcome to Ha Long Bay – A UNESCO heritage site steeped in history …
From the tranquil islands of the south to the tropical urban jungle of the north, Chiang Mai was our final stop in our journey around Thailand and again showed exactly how diverse a destination this sprawling country can be.

Out of London and into Belgium in under 3 hours. A weekend in Bruges has been long overdue.
Lisbon – the coastal Portuguese capital where cobbled hills are as plentiful as pastéis de nata and sardine-shaped souvenirs. A perfect city break all year round, we ventured there for some late September sun and were greeted with endless blue skies and warm climes. At just over 2 1/2 hours from London, this slice of European …
Lisbon – land of cobbled hills, fluorescent trams and perfectly palatable Pastéis de nata.
