We recently took a trip to the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory, in Dalmellington, Ayrshire. Riley’s very into space, so it was one of his birthday gifts from me this year - and a chance for us both to see the night sky in a little more detail. Now, when you live in Scotland, and you...

Beach yoga has been on my list (alongside goat yoga) for a long time. Now, I’m no yogi myself, but I’m always keen to try new things, so when I saw Zlata’s Beach Yoga class on Barcelona Beach, I decided to book myself in for a session. Yoga has been something I’ve always thought would... Continue Reading →
It gets us all at some point. You land back in your home country, and the reality hits that the amazing trip you'd been planning for weeks is now all over. It really sucks, but the good news is - there are ways you can make yourself feel better, and I'm here to pass on... Continue Reading →
Keeping with the recent cat theme - I can't believe it's taken me so long to write about this little gem that we visited last year on a trip to Prague. It was our last day in the city, and we were looking for somewhere to go before heading to the airport that afternoon. That's... Continue Reading →
Loch Leven Castle is steeped in tragic history, namely surrounding that of Mary, Queen of Scots. The Scottish monarch spent a year of her life imprisoned there in 1567, before being forced to abdicate and escaping the island on which the castle still stands. The King, Robert the Bruce, is also known to have visited... Continue Reading →
Riley and I recently took a trip to Glasgow's first, and so far only, cat cafe. Located in Trongate, The Purrple Cat Cafe opened its doors in 2017, and is now home to nearly 30 felines of all shapes and sizes, including some rather cute kittens. This is Riley and I's second visit to a... Continue Reading →
I think one of my biggest travelling fears has to be getting sick while away. It's happened to me more than once, and I'm sure we can all agree, even getting something as simple as a common cold can make enjoying a trip a little more difficult. For this reason, I take extra precautions, and... Continue Reading →
We went to Granite Island on a day trip from the city of Adelaide, South Australia. It's a beautiful rocky island, next to Victor Harbor, accessible via a causeway to the mainland. You can cross to the island on foot, or if you'd rather, take the antique tram which is rather uniquely, pulled by a... Continue Reading →
Anyone who knows me will understand that I’m a bit of a fast food enthusiast. So unsurprisingly, one of my biggest reasons to be excited about going to America (twice!) last year was to sample their world-renowned collection of ‘on the go’ cuisine. Of course, I had to try the USA’s McDonalds and Taco Bell,... Continue Reading →
The City of Angels! I didn't expect to see Los Angeles when I did - or, for that matter, how I did - but it was quite an adventure to explore this famous city last year. Los Angeles is the highest populated city in California, and best known for its bustling entertainment industry. Hollywood, Beverly Hills,... Continue Reading →
