With the New Year fast approaching I thought I’d share my memories of the experience of bringing in the New Year in Sydney. As a teenager living in Sydney the ‘thing to do’ for NYE was to go to Blues Point to watch the fireworks. What does this mean? As you know Sydney has a…
Entrecôte, I Like It A Lot!
When people talk about the places they’ve been one of the main topics that comes up is food (though maybe this isn’t just when talking about travel, or is that just me and my friends?!). Every place has different types of food, some good, some amazing and sometimes, unluckily, some awful! But today I want…
Dream Destination #5 – Bora Bora
The Maldives was the first beach holiday where I have actually enjoyed being at one with sand. When looking for our honeymoon we also looked at other ‘paradise’ destinations and the one other place that really lit my eyes up was Bora Bora. I remember the first time I actually saw Bora Bora was in the…
That Time At Machu Picchu…
[photo taken by me] I am proud to be a mix of two different cultures. I am half Peruvian and half English. While I was (mainly) brought up in England I have been lucky enough to visit Peru a few times, though definitely not as much as I would like. The last time I went was…
Bucket List, African Wish
Animals are one of my favourite things in the whole wild world. They are so amazing, they use instinct to live and they make the world a better place. The only animals I get to see in my day to day life is maybe a cat, dog or bird. What I wouldn’t give to see…
Travel Resolution
It’s almost 2017, the end of the year has come around so quickly! Which means, for many of us, that it’s time to think about our New Years Resolutions. Many people have the usual resolutions – giving up smoking, going to the gym, being healthier, spending less money etc etc. But they are so boring…
Plane, Train, Travel Again
There was a time, centuries and centuries ago, when the only way to travel was by foot. We then discovered that we could use some of our trusty animals to take us places – horses, donkeys, and camels could get us from A to B. Now there are so many different forms of transport that…
Dream Destination #4 – Hawaii
Aloha, and welcome to my 4th Dream Destination – the island (or rather islands) of Hawaii! While Hawaii is a place I really want to visit I have to be honest and say this is more my husband’s dream destination! Ever since he has started watching the new(ish) series of Hawaii Five-O he has this…
Welcome to Komandoo
[photo taken by me] Whenever I am choosing a place to go on holiday I tend to look at either capital/big cities or places with lots of things to do. When I go on holiday I like to be kept busy. Beach holidays don’t exist in my world. But that was about to change. Honeymoon….
Bucket List, French Twist
Previously I have mentioned that I used to be a country snob – not liking going to the same country again but rather visiting new ones. Before I changed by snobby ways I did have some places that were an exception. And Paris is one of those. The city is one of my favourites and…
No Regrets
Whenever I meet someone who hasn’t travelled I’m always slightly perplexed. I ask them (as nicely as possible) WHY?! Unless there is a valid reason (is there a valid reason?) I will always try and convince them to get a trip sorted! This is the same when I speak to someone who has travelled but they…
Life is a Rollercoaster
Theme parks have to be one of my most favourite places to go to. The excitement of arriving at one and being able to see the rides makes me grin from ear to ear. Then once I’m inside I’m like a kid in a candy store, I just want to go on everything and I…
