This was a third time lucky trip for me, due to covid cancellations. Very happy to have made it to Vienna at Christmas at last! I stayed in the Mercure Vienna First which was a quite average hotel, but didn’t break the bank and was in a good location. The capital of Austria, Vienna is …
The beauty of Cinque Terre has to be seen to be believed. In October 2022 I visited for a long weekend and already want to return to do visit all the places I didn’t have time to see. I caught a quick flight to Pisa then its a few short train journeys (2 hours approximately) …

Oh Seville you beauty. Spent a weekend here in August 2022 and had a great time. We stayed at the Melia Sevilla, chosen for the great location and the pool. Most of the hotels in Seville don’t have a pool or its really tiny and it was so hot when we visited I was very …
Absolutely loved our week in Lake Como. Flew with EasyJet to Milan then arranged a private transfer to Domaso where we were staying (1.5 hour drive). We stayed at https://www.hotelvischi.it/en which was great, a few mins from the lake (and a great beach bar) with lots of restaurants near by. Good breakfast and decent sized …

I have wanted to visit the Amalfi Coast for a long time, this trip was third time lucky due to Covid and boy was it worth the wait! Such a stunning part of the world. I visited in May and the weather was perfect (25 degrees most days) and it wasn’t too busy. I planned …
A very quick flight from Edinburgh with EasyJet on a Friday night. I caught a taxi from the airport which was 55euro for a 15 minute trip to my hotel. It was quite late so I didn’t want to catch the train. Amsterdam is not a cheap destination! I stayed at Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam …

Spent a rather lovely weekend in Poznań. A very short flight from the UK and such a charming place to visit. With beautiful buildings to admire and lots of great options for food and drinks. I stayed at a Puro hotel which was great and in such a good location for exploring the old town. …

I have been trying to take this trip for a while but covid got in the way. But September 2021 I finally made it to Mykonos and what an absolutely stunning place it is! Mykonos is popularly known for its summer party atmosphere, but it’s also simply a stunning place to immerse yourself. I’m going …
Krakow – Warsaw – Gdansk in 6 days Like many others during the pandemic, I had several trips cancelled. My most recent trip was supposed to be Mykonos in Greece, sadly I had to cancel that and my options of places to go were few and far between. Poland was still reporting low numbers and …
Images taken on my daily run/walk that show Edinburgh’s deserted streets during the Coronavirus lockdown in April 2020. The usually bustling Capital with very few people around, most people adhering to social distancing and stay at home orders. Just venturing out for daily exercise or essential food/medicine. Princes Street East End Princes Street West End …
March 2020 will always be remembered as the month when life as we knew it in the UK changed. We had it all and we never even realised, you know when people say ‘enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things’, well it …
This was my first solo trip. I had wanted to travel on my own for a long time but had never quite been brave enough to hit the book button! Would you believe I had never been to Italy before, ever? Crazy I know. It was an obvious choice for me, the short flight coming …
