December 5, 2022 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

Cotswold House Hotel and Spa, Chipping Campden

In the ‘chocolate box’ town of Chipping Campden, The Cotswold House Hotel and Spa is certainly no strawberry cream! Grand, yet beautiful, it cannot fail to be to everyone’s taste, whether you’re after a romantic weekend away with your partner, gastronomic adventure or rejuvenating spa experience with your besties. It’s easy to appreciate why this Grade II listed regency townhouse hotel is so popular - and boasts awards to its name. While it … [Read more...]

Play Airline Puts Iceland Within Reach of Budget Travelers

November 23, 2022 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

It’s a courageous move for an airline to begin flying new transatlantic routes during a transitional time for the airline industry, but that’s exactly what PLAY has done. This Icelandic airline was founded in Reykjavik in 2019 by a team with significant experience in the aviation industry. They started flying to Reykjavik from the East Coast of the United States in 2022. I recently flew PLAY’s daily nonstop service to Keflavik, Reykjavik’s main … [Read more...]

Irish and New in Vancouver

August 1, 2022 by Mary Kate Forde1 Comment

What it’s really like to live in Beautiful British Columbia’s biggest city. Anyone who knows me will know that I spent over two years in Canada on an IEC Working Holiday visa – mainly because I don’t shut up about my time here. And although I moved around, overall, I spent just under a year in Vancouver so I feel qualified to write about it. Here’s a summary of my experience: Getting There Okay, so let’s take it back to 2019: I’m in final … [Read more...]

Ultimate Breakfast: Coffee Protein Shake (on the go)

July 20, 2022 by Kaivan DaveLeave a Comment

Busy mornings normally lead to one thing, cutting out breakfast! Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Evolution Fresh for Better Breakfast Month, researchers discovered that seven in 10 are not willing to wake up before 8 a.m. to make breakfast (69%). A recent article published by DailyMeal.com shows that 53% of Americans don’t eat breakfast daily. While not knowing how to cook made up a small percentage of that number, not having the time made … [Read more...]

Visiting Strasbourg, France with Children

June 10, 2022 by Maggie AndrewsLeave a Comment

There is really nothing else like traveling through Europe with toddlers. This is true for so many reasons, one of which is that they seldom seem to know just how lucky they are or how crazy it is that they are, where they are. Having lived in Germany now for a year and a half, we have become accustomed to hearing German daily. We have grown comfortable enough in our surroundings to explore and live. Though, when we travel to another country, … [Read more...]

Peace and harmony reign supreme on former historic battle site

May 19, 2022 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

The Cromwell Suite

HISTORY is integral to the story of the tiny village of Edgehill in Warwickshire, the scene of the bloodiest battle in The English Civil War. Today, the din of muskets and cannons are, thankfully, confined to those history books and the battlefields instead offer idyllic views from one of the most impressive vantage points in the country, The Castle pub. Perched on the summit overlooking the infamous battlefields, The Castle at Edgehill is … [Read more...]

A heavenly Oasis at Plas Robin Rural Retreats in Wales

May 3, 2022 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

The word ‘luxury’ is overused – as are ‘tranquility’ and ‘unique.’ Yet, as I discovered at Plas Robin’s retreats in the heart of the rural Wales, sometimes justifiable. A picture, it is said, paints a thousand words and, to be honest, the breathtaking views from these two bespoke holiday homes perched atop the rolling Welsh hillside, do most of the talking! However, it’s only after staying in the Shepherd’s Rest lodge for three nights … [Read more...]

Guarida Paladar Restaurant, Havana – Cuba, March 2022

March 1, 2022 by DaveLeave a Comment

This popular restaurant is located 5 blocks in from the Bahia de la Habana (harbor) on Concordia Street. Like other restaurants in Havana, a small sign is the only notice of its existence. Or maybe you will spot someone waiting on the first floor and upon inquiry, you will be directed up stairs. There are no signs for the restaurant once you enter this ancient looking building dating from the early 1900s - like other parts of Havana entering the … [Read more...]
