This was one of those covid third time lucky trips for me. So finally having made it to Lisbon I was determined to see all the sights! I travelled with British Airways from Heathrow to Lisbon (a quick 2 hour flight) and while there took the train to Porto for a day (3 hour train …
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. …
Tallinn is so much more than I expected. I had actually never even heard of the place until a few years ago! The capital city of Estonia and perfect for a weekend break, with lots to see and lovely places to eat. Tallinn old town is beautiful, so much amazing architecture to marvel at and …
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 …

Experience the waters of the ancient thermal baths, see some beautiful iconic buildings, take a night cruise down the Danube and immerse …
Copenhagen is regularly voted the happiest city in the world – I spent a weekend there to find out why. From the UK it’s just a 1.5 hour flight, then a 15 minute journey by taxi or metro to the centre of town / Nyhavn. Copenhagen is pretty flat and built around waterways, resulting in …
