My stay at Constance Belle Mare Plage in Mauritius was one that I had eagerly awaited since it’s confirmation. I love the Constance brand, having previously stayed in their Seychelles and Maldives properties, and therefore expectations were high. And I must say, I adored this property! Location The location of this property is really special. […]
For her 60th birthday, I took my mum to Mauritius for a week, and we started our time at LUX Grande Gaube. A 5* resort in the north of the island, it’s one of the newest additions from the LUX Collective group in Mauritius, and having been designed by the interior designer Kelly Hoppen, it’s […]
As part of my trip with Perowne International in October 2019, I was lucky enough to return to the Maldives for a few nights. Having not visited since 2017, it was great to be back, and boy has the place changed! You can read more about this here. Perowne represents three beautiful properties in the […]
Bali is an island covered in the lush greenery of rice paddies, mountains and forests; while stunningly beautiful, this does make getting from A to B a little more challenging than you would expect. The plethora of winding, narrow country roads along with the ridiculous number of motorcycles almost completely rules out large modes of […]
One thing to know before you book that plane ticket is that Fiji is rather expensive. In fact, I think due to the high number of imported products from Australia and New Zealand, a lot of the Pacific Islands are.

Here are just 5 reasons […]
As many of you know we spent the majority of our time travelling the East Coast of Australia by camper van and as this is quite a popular way of seeing both New Zealand and Australia, I thought I would give a bit of an overview of our experience of both living in a camper […]
The attraction known as the ‘Penguin Parade’ has been drawing crowds to Phillip Island (just off of Melbourne’s coast) since the 1920’s, when Australians used to view ‘Little Penguins’ by torch light as they waddled back across the beach to their burrows after days at sea. What ensued however was many years of rampant tourism […]
As I have previously mentioned, Matt has been doing his PADI Open Water Qualification over the last few days and I have been entertaining myself. I have wanted to do a Thai cooking class since we first arrived in Bangkok in January and had a quick google to see if there were any in Koh […]
We left Cambodia after only ten days, more due to time restraints than by choice. It doesn’t feel like we’ve been able to see a lot of this country; and it’s true we haven’t! As I think I’ve previously mentioned when talking about Laos, before I came out here I naively thought every country we […]
