Why I prefer to fly alone

I don’t know about you, but when I was growing up, the airport was always a complete saga for my family. I was VERY lucky that my parents took my brother and I on so many amazing holidays. From Spain to Florida, and from Cyprus to New York to name a few, every summer weContinue reading “Why I prefer to fly alone”

Why do we feel happier when the sun is out?

Incase you hadn’t noticed, I’m a little bit obsessed with the sun. And I know this is mostly as a result of living in Scotland…where its beauty really is a rare sight. Don’t believe me? The sun is so rare a sight in Scotland, that we’ve had to make our own website to tell usContinue reading “Why do we feel happier when the sun is out?”

Game of Thrones Tour, Belfast

Although things are finally starting to look up (yaaaaay!), realistically I’m not sure all of us will want to hop on a plane as soon as we can for our first holiday in over a year. If I’m honest, I think a lot of us will be jumping on the staycation bandwagon this year –Continue reading “Game of Thrones Tour, Belfast”

The best way to spend 2 days in Malta. You know those people you see on social media that have bought a Mystery Holiday Deal for only £99 and somehow got to go to Dubai? (WTFFF!). So you think surely everyone that buys a voucher gets a place like Dubai…right!? Well, my boyfriend and IContinue reading “48 hours in Malta.”

In a society that tells us to think more about ourselves, do we risk leaving the most vulnerable behind?

I’ve been listening to a class podcast recently called Where is My Mind? I first discovered the host, Niall Breslin, through the Daily Wellness playlist on Spotify, which I found at the beginning of lockdown in 2020. It’s a mix of ‘good vibes only’ kind of music, and short podcast episodes from some really insightfulContinue reading “In a society that tells us to think more about ourselves, do we risk leaving the most vulnerable behind?”

What made me fall in love with New York City

I LOVE New York City. I mean really love it. My friends and family are sick of me talking about it all the time, but I can’t help it. I want to watch movies and TV shows set in New York all the time. I listen to songs about New York while working everyday. IContinue reading “What made me fall in love with New York City”

5 things to know before spending New Year’s Eve in Lisbon

First off, let me say that just because I brought in this hellish year in Lisbon should in no way reflect badly on this beautiful city. Of course when the clock struck 12 we were all wishing for a great year ahead…little did we know about the shitstorm 2020 had in store for us. ThisContinue reading “5 things to know before spending New Year’s Eve in Lisbon”
