A touch of luxury – and then some!

December 8, 2021 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

THE phrase five-star luxury is much overused when it comes to holiday accommodation. But it’s not until I’ve considered it an inadequate description for somewhere I’ve stayed. Winchcombe Farm Holidays in Upper Tysoe, is quite simply, luxury on another level. I am lucky enough to be among those qualified to speak first hand as I’ve stayed in two of the lodges – one of the smallest Will’s Tree House (the only treehouse in Warwickshire!) and the … [Read more...]

October 4, 2021 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

It takes courage for an airline to start flying a new transatlantic route but that’s exactly what French bee has done. The Paris-based long-haul airline launched its flight between Newark Liberty International Airport and Paris-Orly on July 15. I recently flew French bee’s nonstop service to Paris and back from my home in New York City. I was initially attracted by French Bee’s advantageous pricing, starting at $199 one-way.

A Little Cabin in the Arctic Wilderness: The Journey of a Girl in Pursuit of Happiness in the Northernmost Permanent Settlement on the Planet

February 1, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

October has always been one of Cecilia's favorite months. The sky over Longyearbyen, Norway (78.2232° N, 15.6267° E) is painted in incredible shades of blue.

It is the last month of the year she gets to soak up the sun before the two-and-a-half-month polar night … [Read more...]

In the summer months of 2020, we decided to embark on a crazy adventure.
