When the days become shorter and temperatures start to drop, you know that winter is on its way. Although some people like to wrap up warm and get cosy in front of an open fire, the rest of us get impatient for the return of hot weather and glorious sunshine. But rather than waiting months on end for summer to return, why not take a trip to more sultry climes instead? In Europe for example, there are several places where you can wear shorts … [Read more...]
Eating Essentials in New Haven, CT
I’m not a big fan of pizza. I like it well enough, but I had never had a pizza that I thought was extraordinary. There is one exception - I’m originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and pizza from the town of Old Forge really is delicious.

Northern Galicia Coast: Rinlo and Cathedral Beach
I ended up visiting Cathedral Beach in Galicia by chance. My boyfriend and I had planned a weekend in Galicia (we're currently living in Madrid short-term for his job, but he's from Galicia) and we decided to simply look for a casa rural (a rurally located Spanish B&B) that was a good price, and that was in a good location. Where, didn't matter all that much. I had wanted to explore Galicia long before I met my boyfriend so when we met, … [Read more...]
Welcome to Bali – Tropical Paradise or Living Hell?
What comes to mind when you think of Bali? Vacation? Beach? Beauty? Something else? For me, this Indonesian island has always been a bittersweet kind of place. "YOU DON'T ALWAYS NEED A PLAN.

But, it's also where a number of Australians (my local breed) go on holidays due to its proximity and … [Read more...]

Valencia: The BEST Paella
It’s hard for me not to be emotional when writing about my time in Valencia. I’m not sure exactly what is was about the city but it seems to have enchanted me. I was and still am, captivated by all it had to offer. I think naively I’d always seen Spain as a cheap holiday destination rather than somewhere to explore in more depth. I considered places further away more exciting and intriguing but to this day, Valencia remains one of my favourite … [Read more...]
