Girls Just wanna Have Sun: Cancel Winter in Gran Canaria

02/17/2020

•••

The Canary Islands are well known as one of the best winter sun options in Europe being that they fall on the same line of latitude as Southern Morocco, hovering around the Tropic of Cancer, which is exceptionally temperate year-round. But believe it or not, I (a Brit) had never ventured to the Canaries before - not even to escape the icky British winter[...]

Rooftops, markets & boats: My first time in Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok, Cities

•••

Oh, Thailand. When this year started, I had no idea I would be able to meet you for the first time. A spontaneous invitation to stay in one of Bangkok's most glam hotels had it that I packed my bag for five days in Bangkok this spring. Once there, I was constantly trying to deal with an absolute overflow of endorphines and whatever falling in love instantly [...]

Some people love it, some people hate it (and that is quite alright!) but for us, Bali still has a special place in our hearts. Whether you are traveling with kids, plan an Eat Pray Love kinda holiday or want to explore the underwater world - Bali has something for everyone. I will admit that I have a soft spot for Bali, so much so that I stayed there 2 y[...]

Do you know that strange feeling when you look yourself in the eyes and realise that youâ€™ve been completely out of touch with yourself and your body for way too long? The latterÂ mightÂ somehow be functioning because it always does and you go about your daily business, or businesses. It may be when you step out of the shower, put sun screen on your legs an[...]

7 Reasons to take a trip with Scubaspa

Adventure Travel, Maldives

•••

I am kneeling on the sand and around me is just darkness and the light of some flickering torches. It is quiet except for the sound of my own breathing. I know I mustn't hold my breath, but it's hard because I am not only surrounded by 20 other divers but also by 20 nurse sharks and a few stingrays. They seem to like us and are just as curious, coming close[...]

Amilla Fushi - Maldivian Wellness Magic

Hotels, Maldives

•••

The moment I leave the baggage claim area at Male airport the wellness feeling starts. A lovely man with white teeth and linen pants awaits and promptly escorts me to a climatized lounge where snacks, coffee and glorious free wifi await. Only when my sea plane flight with Transmaldivian Airways is ready to board am I accompanied to my seat; and in the follow[...]

Germany, Hotels

•••

Like a lot of German 90s kids, I have a special relationship with the NorthÂ Sea in Germanyâ€™s northwest. My family spent a beautiful summer holiday there, surrounded by baby seals,Â legendary tidal flatsÂ and tons of sandy shells that all made it home (to my motherâ€™s dismay). The NorthÂ Sea is known and loved for its fairly rough climate; itâ€™s often w[...]

Top 10 things to do in Gstaad

Mountains, Switzerland, Top 10

•••

I will admit that until I actually visited I had not thought of Gstaad in Switzerland as a place for anyone but people with large bank accounts. Somehow I pictured it with old ladies wearing expensive furs and ageing gentlemen smoking cigars. Mind you, I couldn't have been more wrong. I found Gstaad to be a lovely mountain destination which is beautiful year[...]

•••

Are you a foodie? Do you know where your food comes from? I went on a trip to Carinthia to learn more about slow food and how to incorporate a healthy relationship with food into my busy daily routine (that usually doesn't leave a lot of time for hours and hours of cooking). Now this has been my second trip to Carinthia in just three months and I've been [...]

Australia's Hottest Spa: Peninsula Hot Springs

Australia, Favs F, Mornington Peninsula

•••

If you make one day trip out of the bustling Australian city of Melbourne, be sure to head down to the Mornington Peninsula and visit the Peninsula Hot Springs. Melbourne is one heck of an exciting city - you can lose yourself in all the laneways and eateries for days on end and before you know it, a few weeks can zip by and you realise that you haven't expl[...]
