  • A 5-Day Andalusian Road Trip: Málaga, Gibraltar, Utrera, Sevilla & Setenil 

    There are trips you plan for months, and then there are the ones that simply happen; messy, sun-soaked, full of surprises, and somehow more perfect because of it. This little adventure across Andalucía was exactly that. Five days, five completely different places, three hotels that couldn’t be more unlike each other, and thousands of steps that my legs still remember…

  • A Lazy Sunday in Oxford with My Dad: Coffee, Castles & Cinnamon Rolls

    There’s something magical about Oxford. That mix of grand old buildings, cobbled lanes, and the faint smell of history (or maybe just strong coffee and damp leaves). It’s a city that never tries too hard to impress, because it knows it doesn’t have to. Last Sunday, I took my dad, who’s nearly 80, but still…

  • From Cheap Flights to Cherry Liquor: 72 Hours in Gdansk

    💸 The Real Cost of a “Cheap” Trip It’s tempting to think that booking cheap flights means you’ve scored yourself a cheap holiday.

  • My Crazy Solo Trip to Germany: Flights, Fails & Funny Moments

    As much as I love my crazy, testosterone-packed household (a husband and two sons, and sometimes I swear even the plants feel male), every once in a while, this almost-50, full-time-working, full-time-business-running woman needs an escape. You know — a little break from the daily chaos, a chance to breathe, sip overpriced coffee, and remind…

  • Not Your Typical London Day: Street Art, Whale Tales & Wyspianski

    It was 9:30 AM when I stumbled out of the London Victoria Coach Station, bleary-eyed and running on four hours of sleep, one overripe banana, and the sheer thrill of being back in my favourite chaotic city. I wasn’t here for the usual Big Ben selfie or a Buckingham Palace wave. Nope. This trip was…

  • Divided Walls & United Spirits: My One-Day Dive into Belfast’s Bold and Beautiful Soul

    After two hours of sleep, just a camera and passport in my bag, I found myself climbing aboard the National Express at 3:00 AM, bleary-eyed and fuelled only by sheer willpower (and a bit of travel adrenaline). The coach whisked me off to Bristol Airport, where the real magic began. Still half-asleep but buzzing with anticipation,…

  • Exploring Girona in 24h: A Perfect Spanish Getaway

    When you casually filter the flights and see Girona for £30 return, it’s impossible not to book it. So I did, but then expenses started to grow. With my partner joining the trip, we had to book parking and accommodation. Before I knew it, we’d spent £200 without even leaving our bedroom. At least we…
