Plan Your Next City Break!
  • Happy Easter Monday to you! I hope you have an epic Bank Holiday planned, what a luxury to have such a long weekend! (For me, I’m unpacking from my mega-Munich trip and STILL trying to warm up from my trip to Neuschwanstein Castle - have you ever seen a colder person?!). 🐣 . . . If you are looking for an awesome way to start your day, then I’m happy to tell you that it’s podcast day on #TheTravelust. This week I’m chatting to my pal @packyourpassport about Australia, solo travel and being brave and it’s such a stellar chat. Go grab the link in my bio or search in iTunes, Spotify + other podcast players. . . . And super bonus - I’m a guest today on @fbarrows amazing podcast There Are Other Ways chatting all about female ambition, finding joy and balance in your career and hobbies! If you want to know how and why I prioritised travel, head to her profile or search for the podcast in iTunes! ❤️

  • I’ve taken a magical couple of weeks off Instagram (although not stories), a magical few days in Munich and a magical trip to the fairytale castle of dreams, Neuschwanstein. . . . Even in the hail, fog and pouring rain this gorgeous castle didn’t disappoint. Throughly beautiful and crazy inside and out, you might recognise it as the actual inspiration for a certain Castle at Disney! Huge thanks to the wonderful @ver_eck from @sandemansnewmunich for revealing the magic on the worst of days. . . . Neuschwanstein was a highlight in a trip full of highlights these past five days. Munich has grabbed my heart - ignore it at your peril!

  • I've had another huge weekend of celebrations, this time with Mr S turning 35 and my Auntie turning 75! Brewery tours and afternoon tea were just some of the shenanigans on offer, but I'll tell you about that another time... . . . Because it is only bloomin' podcast day! Another episode of #TheTravelust has landed, and this week I'm interviewing the wonderful @weekendcandy who is sharing all her amazing weekend break expertise! . . . We also chat about gin due to our shared passion for the good stuff, so in honour of this episode I thought I'd share a snap from The Resting Room, one of the restaurant/bars at gin haven @distilleryldn. Head to iTunes, Spotify or the link in my profile to listen!

  • I'm talking about travel memories over on the blog today (link in my profile), but on the 'gram I thought I'd chat about a different type of memory. The memories you make with people, not places. . . . Poor old Mr S has been my long suffering travel partner for many years. Whether I'm dragging him round cities, barking orders at him to take my photo or gently encouraging him to see that we definitely need to try another brunch, so many of my feelings about the world have been made with him at my side. . . . I'm off on another solo trip next week and I can't wait, but I have loved making global memories with this one. Even if that involves playing board games in a Cypriot bar with really offensive cocktails 🤣

  • What Sunday roast comes with a side order of pick and mix? A blimmin' amazing roast dinner at @OxboBankside is what! . . . I finally got to hit up OXBO's famous bottomless roast at the weekend for my Birthday celebrations and I've got to say it was worth the wait. Bottomless prosecco, unlimited starters (which included very tasty sashimi) and desserts (I had 9) served from the chefs tables and then a served roast dinner which was the biggest and best I've had in London. . . . I also helped myself to a few penny sweets on every trip up to the tables - this gorgeous display was on the dessert table. I think it was for the kids, but who can resist a gummy strawberry or 5?! 😋

  • It was at this moment, looking out into the stillness and silence that I thought, just maybe I might not be a city girl after all. I'll never be a skier, or a competent hiker, but what I am is obsessed with the views and the feeling you get when you are deep into another world (and of course up really high). . . . Visiting the Atlas Mountains was such a dream, pinch me moment. I've rounded up my best photos and told the story of my day spent exploring them on the blog today :-)
