Oslo in winter doesn’t try to impress with postcard-blue skies. It seduces with low grey light, the smell of woodsmoke drifting over the fjord, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing the city was built for this season, not in spite of it.  Two days is barely enough to scratch the surface, yet it’s perfect for feeling the vibe, and slipping into the rhythm of a place that treats darkness like an old friend. I have escaped to Norway twice, once in December during thick snow, and second time in February […]

While visiting family in Hampshire, I decided to make a weekend of it and accept an invitation to make our base the newly rebranded voco® Winchester Hotel & Spa.

The contemporary hotel, which was first built in 2010, is located on the edge of the beautiful South Downs National Park and within 5 minutes from Winchester City Centre. The […]

June must be the perfect time to visit Sweden. Quite far north, and in the build-up to solstice, the sun doesn’t set until around 10pm. The flowers were in full bloom in parks and roadside. There were blue skies every day but the air still felt crisp, fresh, not the back-of-the-bus kind of heat I associate with summer in the cities of the UK. Last June I spent a few days visiting a couple of friends who lived in Copenhagen (DK) and Lund in Skåne, Southern Sweden. I flew into […]

Catalonia has 580 kilometres (360 miles) of coastline which can be characterised as town and city or wild natural with very different types of beaches to cater for all preferences. City and town beaches are typically closely regulated beaches (no smoking on the beach, no nudity, no motorised watercraft, no dogs) but have services such as public toilets, showers, lifeguards and sometimes locker facilities. Behind the beach you will often see high-rise cityscape and you will find plenty of seafood restaurants along the beach front as well as chiringuito beach […]

There is little need to introduce Byron Bay. Most travelers have either visited Byron Bay, NSW or have the destination firmly added to their Australia travel bucket list. The breezy town on NSW’s North Coast is famous for its abundance of beaches as well as its hinterland of rainforest, artistic neighborhood, and inventive culture. Once the preferred hangout of hippies and bohemian sea changers, it has since attracted forward-thinking restaurateurs, designers, and celebrities. Since the 60s, when surfing was at its peak, Byron Bay has changed significantly. Beach shacks have […]

Pasadena, California (June 2023) – June in Pasadena is especially pretty, with live music and arts and cultural events popping up across the city’s popular shopping, dining, cultural, and landmark areas. The enchanting rose gardens are in full bloom, pride events paint the town, and Visit Pasadena, the city’s official tourism organization, celebrates pride with a citywide Pride campaign with the simple, yet powerful message that “All Are Welcome in Pasadena.” What Pride Means in Pasadena History is hardly ever tidy, but Pasadena, California has been proudly celebrating all identities […]

Mobile, Alabama has never been a city on my “to visit” list, but sometimes life presents you with an opportunity, so you just go with the flow and enjoy the ride. Such an opportunity presented itself when I recently flew from Savannah to Atlanta to Mobile. I had one specific goal: obtain my Global Entry status. Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. After getting hung up in a two-hour customs line when […]

Moxy Hotels, as a brand of Marriott, are designed to stand out from the crowd and Moxy Chester is no different. Just a five-minute walk from the city centre and train station, first impressions upon arriving at the hotel are positive. Themed throughout with stylish nods to its locality near the racecourse, a stunning steel horse installation and series of murals themed on racing set the vibe for our stay.  A unique artist’s interpretation of the infamous Shot Tower landmark has also been specially created inside. One might say Moxys […]

Husband and wife Jo Carroll and Steve Taylor run Winchcombe Farm, a unique collection of six luxury holiday lodges in Upper Tysoe, Warwickshire. For more information, visit www.winchcombefarm.co.uk or call 01295 680190. Q. How did this business come about? We built our first holiday lodge, Will’s Treehouse, on the site of our former private nursery business, in 2017. We decided to go in a complete change of direction due to the financial pressures imposed by The Childcare Act 2016 which committed to giving families with working parents an entitlement to […]
