It’s winter here in Australia, which makes me crave sipping on vino in warmer temperatures. It also doesn’t help that EVERYONE on social media is currently on holiday. I have been lucky enough to have lived, worked and visited a number of wine regions around the globe. And since there are no holiday plans in…
What’s not to love about all you can drink Champagne, gourmet food (seafood, salads, meats, cheese, sushi, desserts & more) and possibly the best customer service of your life? If you’re visiting Kuala Lumpur – Sunday Brunch at The Ritz Carlton needs to be on the ‘must-do list’. It definitely was the highlight of our 5-day…
There is something romantic about a city built on 120 islands, 150 canals and 400 bridges (approximate numbers). It’s like stepping back in time to where there are no cars but only foot traffic and of course boat traffic. You have the gondola men in their horizontal stripped navy blue shirts and stubby straw top-hats…
If it wasn’t for advice on twitter or my love for pizza I probably wouldn’t of visited Napoli. Actually I think at one point I told Morgan that Napoli was off the itinerary after reading about mafia, thieves, violence and dirt and grim in the Lonely Planet!

To be honest we were pretty much stopping in Bulgaria to break up the journey to Greece. To get to the Bulgarian capital it was a total of 13-hours travel; Brasov-Bucharest & then Bucharest-Sofia. The first part of the journey was rather forgettable as it was early in the morning, the seats were comfy and…
Three countries in one day is what it took to get to Budapest – we traveled up through Slovenia to Vienna in Austria and then over to Budapest in Hungary. The 2nd leg of the journey was on one of the Austrian Rail’s OBB Railjet trains, which was very nice. It was basically like being…
Following up from my article about cheap eats in Edinburgh, I have to mention Leith Lynx. The quality of the food at this cozy yet high-market establishment is to die for. If you’re lucky enough to be in Edinburgh during March or April 2012 you just have to go there for a Sunday roast. Even…
Just down the lane from the Edinburgh Castle you will find the ultimate haven for Scotch lovers. It is a 4-storey building designed purely for visitors to begin to understand Scotland’s finest wee dram. There are 4 tours you take ranging from £12-£50. When my boyfriend and I visited we decided to go for the…
