A Road Trip Through Canada: Toronto to Montreal

Canada has been high on the wish list for a long time but when we received an invite to a wedding in Montreal, we knew our time to visit Canada had finally arrived. I love a good road trip and it had been four years since we last did one so we decided to make…

4 Nights in Rhodes

I have never put any stock in horoscopes but as I’ve got older I’ve started to really relate to being a water sign. Whenever I start to feel bogged down by work or I’m having a bad day, being near water calms me and as the end of the school year comes round I yearn…

A Cottage Stay in Anglesey, Wales

Two years ago Rob’s family came together and decided to do something special in 2024 to celebrate his parents turning 80. As we’re all based in different parts of the world, we agreed to all reunite back in the UK for a big family get together like the old days and visit somewhere new. With…

All Inclusive in Antigua

When Rob turned the big 40 we knew we wanted to do something to acknowledge the occasion and as he didn’t want a big party, we decided to go away somewhere special… the Caribbean. It had been a dream location for so long and when we found out you could get direct flights from London…

Støtvig Hotel: Norway

This summer we were supposed to return to Japan but unfortunately the Covid curse prevented us from going. Even though we were gutted, we decided to make the best of it. We took our time moving house with the help of some amazing people and then took a few days away from Gävle to unwind…

This time we wanted a bit more luxury and beaches which we certainly got two hours south in a small town called Torekov. The Torekov…

Langkawi, Malaysia

Langkawi was the first stop on our trip and we picked to stay at the Tanjung Rhu Resort mainly for the location and price. When researching Langkawi, we have always found it to be one of the more expensive destinations in Asia with a number of luxury resorts in the area and if I am…

Fiji: 3 Days at the Hilton Fiji Beach Resort

On our way back to Tokyo from New Zealand, we had a 3 day layover in Fiji. We decided with such a short layover that we would base ourselves on the main island of Vitu Levu staying at the Hilton Fiji Beach Resort on Denarau island a mere 25 minutes from Nadi airport. It cost…

9 Days in Hawaii

When I compare 2017 to the last three years it has been the quietest yet. We have had the fewest visitors, done the least amount of travelling and things have been… well, normal. That doesn’t mean to say it has been boring and actually I am quite proud of some of the things we have…
