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.

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 …

I have lived in Edinburgh for around 15 years. I moved here to go to University and never really left (apart from a few years stint in London in my 20’s). It’s a wonderful place to live and I certainly take it for granted. The architecture is beautiful and there are so many things to …
Milan is recognised worldwide for being one of the design and fashion capitals of the world, but it has a lot to see beyond just fashion. Top sights include the beautiful Duomo, Sforzesco Castle and Leonardo DaVinci’s The Last Supper. I recently visited Milan for a weekend. I left after work on a Friday and …
There is nothing I love more than to plan trips. I love researching how to get where I’m going, what trips to take when there, what hotels to stay at and where is good to eat! But there is no denying it can be extremely time consuming – I literally lose hours when I start …
I have a GIANT and ever-growing list of places I want to visit. My list is a mix of the ‘originals’ like Amsterdam and up and coming hotspots like Porto – there are always new places emerging to add to my list. It’s not like you have a list you go to these places and …
