Travel
In my wanderings around Belgium, I of course stopped off at perhaps its most famous city: Bruges. I even set aside more time for it, anticipating there’d be more to see and was right to do so. Not only are there plenty of attractions, churches and spires to visit, Bruges itself is just a pleasant...

My very first solo holiday adventure was a month long stay at an elephant refuge centre in Thailand. Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand saves all types of animals, from gibbons to bears, but I only worked with the resident elephants.

Choosing to travel with my boyfriend was an easy decision for me. Why wouldn’t I want to experience all the world has to offer with the person I love most in this world? It was simple for me, I didn’t want to have the experience at all if it wasn’t going to be with him....

Madrid is a city that has the perfect balance of a city life, but manages to keep all the quaint and quintessential aspects of the Spanish people. It does not compromise on this and for that, I love it. I’ve been to Spain before, mostly in my teens and early 20’s and most of it I...

A tour of Cambodia would not be complete without a trip to Angkor Wat. So intrigued to explore this world heritage site we booked a sunrise trip to see one of the wonders of the world for ourselves. Built in the first half of the 12th Century Angkor Wat is one of the most important...
