Hallstatt is what I would call picture perfect. The village is situated on the edge of a lake and is surrounded by mountains. When we arrived it was also snowing! It felt like we were in a postcard. There is not much to do here but gawk at the beauty that surrounds you. We stayed in Hallstatt for one night before heading to Vienna. You can also do Hallstatt in a day trip from Salzburg […]
This year we decided we would spend Christmas abroad. Salzburg was the destination of choice. I had heard from so many people that Austria was beautiful and the fact that they have christmas markets was a major drawcard. We spent three nights here before continuing on to explore more of Austria.
It seems like a million years ago that I was sunning myself on the beautiful island that is Santorini. Wish I was back quad biking around all of the different towns, drinking delicious wine and taking in the view. 3 days was the perfect amount of time for us to enjoy Santorini. Below are my recommendations ! Enjoy 🙂
For one amazingly hot and sun-drenched week we sailed around the Greek Islands with Medsailors. A standard day consisted of waking up, swimming, breakfast (which was made for us), swimming, lunch, swimming, exploring the islands, dinner, drinks. Then repeat.
Lots of my friends had given me mixed reviews on Athens so I wasn’t expecting too much from the capital. Our sailing trip around the Greek islands departed from Athens so we spent a few days there beforehand so we could make up our own minds. I’m so glad we went, Athens far surpassed my expectations.
Full of beautiful rock formations and stunning beaches, the Algarve is ah-mazing! From Lisbon we drove down the Southern coast of Portugal to Lagos, stopping along the way to check out the stunning scenery.
Pastel coloured buildings, vintage trams, multi coloured tiles and stunning vistas are a few of the reasons why I adore Lisbon. What makes me love the place even more is the food! So delicious and so cheap. Portugal is one of the most affordable countries to travel to in Europe, great for the budget traveler. You can travel here all year around due to the mild climate. We visited in April and spent the first […]
Stockholm was the destination of choice for one of my first long weekends away while living in LDN. Sweden’s gorgeous capital is situated on 14 islands connected by over 50 bridges. It’s a cosmopolitan place with both classical and modern architecture. Each neighbourhood is completely different and has their own distinct character.
2015 marks my first Winter Christmas… and it’s been amazing! The Northern Hemisphere does Christmas well. There are fairy lights everywhere, christmas carols, christmas jumpers, ice skating rinks, winter wonderland and lets not forget christmas markets! Last weekend me and my friends went to Brugge for their Christmas Markets and it did not disappoint.
Sailing a privately chartered boat with Med Sailors through the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic sea was one of the dreamiest weeks of my life. Looking back at these photos while freezing my but off in London makes me want to go back so bad! Every morning we would wake up with not a care in the world. Our sun drenched days were filled with sailing, swimming and exploring . Each day brought on […]
