My mother was born in Sopot, in the north of Poland by the more famous Gdansk. When I was younger, we travelled there a lot to learn about my heritage and to meet family and friends. The food there never phased me as I had grown up with a lot of it. However, my husband took some time to get used to it all. Polish cuisine is criminally underrated and I wanted to share with you my favourite things. If you ever wonder what to eat in Poland, fear not, there is something tasty and hearty for everyone.

St. Michael’s mount is a treasure of Cornwall. This special island is only accessible by boat or over the causeway, the latter of which only appears when the tide is low. To help you plan your trip, I’ve composed a short post that includes all you need to know. Visiting St. Michael’s Mount was a highlight for me, and I can’t wait for you to experience it. Crossing Times to St. Michael’s Mount The causeway over to St. Michael’s Mount is only exposed at certain times of the day. This happens at low tide and is usually open for 4 hours each day.

My husband and I try to go to Fuerteventura each year, mostly because he spent every summer growing up there. His family had a house in a smaller village called Villaverde and they always had a car. This meant that they were constantly exploring, meaning that I got the grand tour when I first arrived. One week in Fuerteventura is usually enough to see all the sights. If you are not just after the classic British all-inclusive holiday, then this post is for you. Before we get started, I am assuming that you have rented a car when I’m writing this. I have also assumed that you are staying in Cor ..read more

Devon is one of the prettiest parts of the UK and always seems overshadowed by its neighbour Cornwall. I think that Devon is much quieter than Cornwall during peak seasons and is arguably more affordable. Plus, there is still plenty to see and do, which is why I wrote this post on Three Days in Devon. I have written this post with the view that you are staying in Torquay, which is quite central. We have stayed at The Somerville before and would highly recommend it. As well as this, I am also assuming that you have access to a car. Three Days in Devon | A Short Itinerary Day 1: Exeter, Totnes a ..read more

Bercy is a smaller, less-known area of Paris. It is probably best known for the famous Bercy Village shopping centre, however this little suburb has plenty to offer. It used to be a pretty overlooked part of the city, mostly due to the fact it was quiet and urban. However, all of that is now changing. There are new hotels arriving that are turning into large skyscrapers and money is being invested into projects, such as the startup campus Station F. Adding to this is that during the Olympics this year, Bercy is right in the thick of it and is a great place to explore during the games. To prepa ..read more

I visited Milan last Summer and spent two days exploring the fashion-capital of Italy. The city has a fair amount to offer but, from our experience, you can probably cover it with 48 hours in Milan. Milan is all about living lavishly. You can shop the most expensive fashion brands, eat incredible food and see some of the best art that the world has to offer. For this post, I have assumed that you are staying near the Duomo and the city centre. We stayed at Hotel Sanpi Milano, which was a great location to use as a base to explore. Here is what we would recommend with just 48 hours in Milan. 48 ..read more

Imagine you are off travelling somewhere relatively far flung. The Maldives, Thailand, Mauritius or even Bali. Where is one of the best places to stop? Dubai of course! This neo-metropolis is becoming ever more popular with holidaymakers and it isn’t hard to see why. When we travelled to Mauritius, we decided to have a short layover here to explore the city. If you only have 24 hours in Dubai, then this is what I would recommend… 24 Hours in Dubai Arrival – Early Morning If you are going to cram Dubai in 24 hours, then you need to arrive early. Whilst we had 48 hours in Dubai (blog post coming ..read more
