Those of you who have been following me on Instagram may have seen my stories from the May bank holiday weekend in Siena. We had such a good time and managed to pack so much into the 3 days in Siena, that I thought I’d share it with you! Read on for why Siena is…

The 7 types of roommates you might get on your group tour
Group tours can be a great way to see a country if you travel solo, but don’t want to be on your own. As everything is organised for you, it takes the stress away from having to plan accommodation, transport and itinerary. I’d totally recommend a group tour if it is your first time travelling…
What to wear as a woman in Jordan
I visited Jordan after a three year obsession with Petra. Jordan was my first stop on my year off travelling (second was Lebanon, read more about why you should visit Lebanon here). As this was only my second visit to a Middle Eastern country, I wanted to make sure I was appropriate in my choice…
London Cheese Crawl
Love cheese as much as I do? (By this I mean eating it on it’s own, hosting a dinner party that was exclusively to eat cheese, or actively seeking it out in SE Asia when it’s not easy to find…) Well if you *NEED* to sniff out the best stuff like me, then I recommend…
London Dim Sum tour with Koala
What do you do the day after the night before? If, like me, you are feeling worse for wear after a big night out, then eating can always make you feel better: hence the London Dim Sum tour with Koala! Whilst this tour isn’t billed as a hangover cure, after a week of drinking either…
Wild Swimming with Secret Adventures
Have you ever been wild swimming? For this I mean swimming usually in a lake or pond (rather than a swimming pool or beach). I think the wildness comes in when you do this in the UK – especially when you don’t do it in Summer! This September I joined Secret Adventures on their wild swimming…
A Flashpacking Weekend in Finland
Have you ever been to Finland? Until this weekend away I hadn’t and it seemed like a great place to go to disconnect and be in nature. It turns out that the Finns appreciate this highly and so the weekend ended up being a cultural experience too, but in relative comfort. I went with Flash…
Sightseeing with a difference: Thames Rockets
Imagine this…. sat in a boat on the Thames gently cruising past those London landmarks you see from the riverside all the time. Sounds idyllic, right? Then a few minutes later you are screaming and holding on to the safety bar in front of you for dear life….. welcome to Thames Rockets, sightseeing with a…
Up at the O2 – walking across the London Landmark
Have you ever been to the O2 arena (formally known as the Millennium Dome)? I’ve been there for several concerts (Tina Turner, a family favourite) and some tennis (ATP tour) on the inside… but I’ve never been up and over the top. As a Londoner I felt that it was remise of me not having…
Kayaking with Secret Adventures
How to combine your passions for food & drink with some activity to burn those calories off? This method is called temptation bundling and I think Secret Adventures have this down to a fine art! I was lucky enough to join the Secret Adventures kayak expedition on a lovely summer’s evening, with a gang from…
