My mum and I spent the early May bank holiday in the Netherlands, basing ourselves in Utrecht for 3 nights and doing one day trip to Rotterdam. We’d visited Amsterdam a couple of years ago and at the time said we’d love to explore more of the Netherlands, so here we are! We flew out … Continue reading Utrecht & Rotterdam
Earlier this year I spent 6 weeks solo travelling in Europe, and I was delighted that at the end of the trip my mum and my sister came out to spend a week exploring Puglia with me, followed by a long weekend in Naples with my boyfriend. I’d never been so far south in Italy … Continue reading Southern Italy: Puglia and Naples

Last October I went on my first ever start-to-finish solo trip in Porto! It felt really freeing to be able to fill my time exactly how I chose, and I quickly settled into this new way of travelling.

In June my sister and I spent a long weekend exploring the Isle of Skye, from Friday to Tuesday.

We hired a campervan in Inverness and drove across to … Continue reading Vanlife around the Isle of Skye
In May I spent a delightful weekend in Amsterdam with my mum and my sister. We strolled along the picturesque canals, watched the world (and the bicycles) go by from cafés, ambled around some striking art galleries and museums, and ate a lot of delicious food.
