How to Spend a Day in the Lower East Side, New York City
One thing I absolutely love about New York City is its selection of neighbourhoods, which all feel unique and slightly different. It’s a joy as a visitor to the city to explore each one on foot and get to know them a little better. Whilst many are well known, one of my favourite slightly less […]
A Review of The Beekman Hotel, New York
Back in the middle of October, I attended a conference in New York. It’s really nice getting to meet people from across the globe – but it’s also always full on and totally, completely exhausting. This time, I flew out from Heathrow on Sunday, landing in NY Sunday night, and flew back on the Thursday […]
London Open Gardens 2025
Oh look, it’s another Hannah post about gardens. I can only apologise for my lack of diverse content. I’m slowly turning my own garden in to a tranquil space, and I make every excuse to visit as many beautiful gardens as possible. So it is with absolute joy and delight that London has an annual […]

Northumberland, The Wild Coast: A Perfect 2 Day Itinerary
I’ve not been able to take much annual leave yet this year, so I’ve tried to see and do a bit more at weekends for a change of scene. It’s meant that I’ve explored more of England, and one of my absolute highlights was a trip to the north of England with my Mum and […]

Without a doubt its most famous resident is its castle, perched atop a hill which has dominated the skyline of Scotland’s capital for centuries. I was so excited for my visit, but (and I hate to write this) I found […]
A Review of Conrad Marina Bay (formerly Conrad Centennial), Singapore
It’s Mr Travelling Han (MTH) here, back for another year’s guest post. I’ve been all over the place again this year with work but as always the place I’ve spent the most time in is Singapore. I have to say it’s now my favourite country in the world, and it now feels like a home […]
A Guide to Hiking Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh
I needed some fresh air. I’d been indoors working at my hotel for the entire day, so once I was able to log off, I was straight outside. Given it was the summer, I knew I had a few hours of daylight to play with so I decided to be bold and set off on […]
Edinburgh: A Perfect 2 Day Itinerary
Edinburgh is one of those cities that instantly pulls you in. Between the castle towering over the skyline, winding cobbled streets, and cozy pubs tucked into every corner, it’s the kind of place that feels both historic and totally alive. Whether you’re here for the views, the rich history, or the whiskey – Edinburgh delivers. […]
10 of the best things to do in Zürich
We arrived in Zürich a little worse for wear. It was the last stop on our Switzerland trip and travel fatigue was setting in. On our first night, my husband had a really bad asthma attack and couldn’t breathe properly. He had to sit on the floor all night to keep himself stable and whilst […]
