A couple of weekends ago one of my best friends from university came up to visit us. It had just been her birthday so we decided to treat her to something special. Now, what greater gift for a self-proclaimed gin lover than to attend a local distillery tour? Luckily for us, Lytham Gin’s distillery was…
One thing I find in equal parts exciting and head bangingly frustrating when planning a trip is where to stay. With budgets, location, amenities, and aesthetic all to consider, it can seem like quite a daunting task. But, for me, the most difficult part is being confident we’ve made a good choice. I spend an…
So, it’s only taken me three years and a global pandemic to finally write about my current home county, but I’m finally taking the plunge! I’m hoping this post will be the first in a series all about Lancashire and all it has to offer! I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to…
As a serial over-organiser, over-packer and panicker about weather forecasts, I can find figuring out what I’ll need for a trip pretty stressful. I find this pressure is intensified when said trip requires some sort of special gear or weather appropriate clothing. This was precisely the kind of holiday our winter getaway to Poland embodied…
We have recently returned from a wonderfully wintery getaway in Poland where we enjoyed several seasonal activities, including skiing. Now, Poland certainly wasn’t the first place that sprung to my mind when skiing was mentioned, in fact, I think you’ll likely agree that the Alps would be the obvious choice for a European skiing getaway.…
In October 2022, Corey and I travelled to Marrakech, Morocco for a wonderful autumn getaway. It was a country neither of us had visited before and it was a fantastic experience immersing ourselves in another culture which differed so much from our own. However, with this came a few difficulties and differences of option; One…
As an adventure enthusiast, I am always looking for an excuse to explore a new place. Lucky for me, I met my boyfriend, Corey at the end of 2020 who comes with the added perk of being Irish (how exotic!). In 2021 Corey invited me over to visit his hometown on the Causeway Coast and…

The Paint and wine events are 2.5-hour classes requiring no prior art experience. The wine flows as you embody your inner Van Gogh to complete a pre-selected painting step by step.…
Reykavik, Iceland is unlike any other city I have ever visited. It is an incredibly immersive city, and with its modern metropolitan vibe mixed with traditional Icelandic architecture, it regularly ranks top of traveller’s bucket lists. Reykjavik is a common stop-over destination on the way to North America and in my opinion, it is certainly…
Anglesey is an island full of character and beauty which is a must-visit if you are traveling to North Wales. For such a tiny island, it teems with history and unique charm which is something my family and I loved about it on past Welsh holidays (check out my other posts on North Wales here!).…
