Welcome <3
For the past week and a bit my Instagram and Facebook feed has been filled with everyone’s highlights of 2020, and this was the first year when I simply wasn’t ready to look back on 2020. Until now.
It’s been a very different year. Most unusual. Most unexpected.

I’m a frequent visitor to Scotland, however most of the times it’s for business rather than leisure. In fact, most of the times it’s a round trip in one day – and all I see is the road from Glasgow airport to the office.
But I knew that there is so much more to Scotland than Glasgow (everyone should know this, ha), and I saw the most beautiful shots whilst watching Outlander – TV series set in Scottish Highlands. So we had to go – and we did, on our 11 year anniversary.
Within 4 days, we saw 7 castles, followed the path of Claire and Jamie in the key filming locations, and overall, travelled almost 500 miles. The trip took my breath away, so I’m sharing it with you, hoping to inspire you to add Scotland to your bucket list.
I fully recommend to put Outlander playlist on (Spotify) whilst scrolling through our journey. ❤ Continue reading “Scotland, you’ve won my heart!”
I’ve shared my trip with you guys on Instagram, but I don’t feel like it justified just how amazing Puglia, South-East region of Italy was. You absolutely have to add it on your bucket list, and here is why:
We stayed in one just outside Ostuni – Trullo Dipinto. I’ve never stayed in a place like that before, but can certainly say: when in Puglia, stay in a trullo!Here’s what it looked like inside: Continue reading “10 reasons why Puglia should be your next holiday destination”
We just got back from the best Ski trip ever at Les Acrs 1800, and I just can’t keep my emotions in! I literally was in tears on the last day – leaving the Alps broke my heart!
First of all, I would like to say a massive thank you to the Oxford Brookes Snow Sports Committee and Wastelandski reps – you guys have made the trip absolutely fantastic!
Secondly, I would like to thank my friends, who have been amazing this week and made the trip the best group trip I’ve ever been to.
Thirdly, I need to thank the weatherman, who granted us some fresh pow on the day we arrived.
For our eight year anniversary Ben took me to Paris. Eight years together turned into something much more romantic and important to celebrate. We got engaged.
On the 26th of September, at 8 am, Ben dragged me out of bed to have a photo shoot. If you know me well, you can imagine how delighted I was at the prospect (if you don’t, follow me on Instagram:))
We met the photographer at Trocadero just when the sun was rising. Zero tourists, just other couples with other photographers – the place has got the view!
I think it’s about time I started blogging again and what is a better topic than telling you guys all about the amazing holiday I’ve just came back from??!
Ben and I went to Crete – a beautiful Greek island. We found an amazing deal on Thomas Cook that was definitely more than worth it.

Vatican has always been on my bucket list. 
The smallest country in the world which also happens to be the biggest art museum, seemed like a great place to spend a day while visiting Rome. Continue reading “Vatican”
Colosseum is a ‘must’ for any eager tourist in Rome. 
The legendary amphitheatre that is nearly 2,000 years old. The place where around 5,000 gladiators died every year.
Who cares about the tourist guides or Tripadvisor?
Once you’ve walked through the door of a nice establishment, you know whether you are going to love it or hate it (until you get your first drink anyway 🙂 )
Ben and I were wandering around the Trastevere area and spotted a bar – Akbar – it looked really nice from the outside, so we decided to give it a shot.
Piazza Navona is a beautiful square filled with cafes, street artists and performers.
