4-day itinerary for Singapore

I visited Singapore in October 2022, on the way back from spending two-weeks in Bali. Singapore is a major gateway to the rest of Asia with flights and an array of locations – the airport itself is a must-see. Khaled and I went during the F1 weekend so we arrived on a Friday and left…

Exploring Garden by the Bay in Singapore

I love going to botanical gardens – I must admit, I don’t know much about flowers or wouldn’t have a clue on how to identify even the most usual suspects, but there is something so pretty, colourful and relaxing seeing them.

Fuerteventura was one of those islands that had always been on my radar but had somehow never visited. During the house renovation process, Khaled and i wanted to escape from the madness and dust and relax on a beach. We decided to book a low-cost, all-inclusive holiday with TUI. The hotel was beaut – a…

Day Trip to Transylvania

Romania is enchanting and captivating as it is mysterious. My husband, sister and I decided to have a city getaway in March 2021 in the midst of a house renovation – so what better way than to spend a long weekend in Romania. Nestled between Moldova, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria, Romania is known for its…

4 Days in Bucharest, Romania

Some capital cities don’t get the recognition that they deserve and the Romanian city of Bucharest is surely one of them. I had very little knowledge of the city and only know it as a popular stag weekend destination or a transit to get to Romania’s popular Transylvania region. Though it is both of those…

Longleat Adventure and Safari Review – Lockdown Edition

We actually came here for our first wedding anniversary, in June 2020 during the first Covid-19 lockdown. It was a fantastic day out for couples and for families. Some facilities and attractions were closed or restricted this year, due to there being extra safety rules, pre-booking requirements or one-way systems in place. It may be…
