Once upon a time a vegan girl met a meat loving boy. This is a story about their struggle to find suitable restaurants and bars around Europe and beyond.
After a fantastic, albeit not particularly vegan friendly time in Thailand we crossed into Malaysia. The first stop on our trip was the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town in Penang. For some reason we both had high hopes for this destination and, as we found out, that turned out to be justified. Having […]
If you have read our blog or follow us on social media, you'll have realised by now that we love travelling and go to as many different places as we can manage. But sometimes I wonder whether we forget the gems that are on our own doorstep. With that in mind, as we had a […]
With a couple of spare days of leave to use up before April, we decided a little trip to the sun was in order. As such, we booked a four night stay in Malta – this would be my 50th country (41 for Rhian, catching up!). Also in search of some warm weather, Rhian’s parents […]
You may not have thought to visit the Isle of Man before, unless like me, you’re an avid follower of the TT. It’s always looked great on the TV so we decided to check it out for ourselves. Our visit in February 2017 didn’t coincide with the racing, so we now see that as an […]
Anyone that knows Rhian well knows that she’s always glued to her phone. There’s nothing she likes more than posting on Instagram or Facebook (give us a follow!) or reading blogs… apart from booking a holiday that is. So when she found a blog by The Telegraph entitled ‘15 cities you’ve never heard of (but […]
After the relative calm of Siem Reap we entered the comparative hurly burly of Bangkok. We got a taxi from the airport to the city centre which took around an hour in heavy traffic. Our accommodation was the Centra Central Station Hotel. The hotel itself was lovely and had great views of the city, although […]
I write this blog entry from the infamous pub street in Siem Reap – watching the mix of tourists wander by looking for a cheap beer or souvenir, and the locals passing on their tuk tuks, hoping for a fare. I am actually drinking a $0.50 Angkor beer alone in the V Design Restaurant as […]
After failing to do any shopping for Rhian ahead of Christmas 2015, I decided to book a weekend in Amsterdam at the end of January as her present. We flew from Cardiff airport and took the convenient train into the city centre from Schiphol airport. Seeing as we were flying out after work on the […]
Having decided we wanted to go on a pre-honeymoon trip in November, the lure of Brussels was too strong to resist. We were drawn by the promise of stunning architecture, world famous beers and a rather sizeable Christmas market. We were certainly not let down on any front. We flew out on the Friday evening […]
As our belated honeymoon, we decided to travel around south east Asia. The first stop on this trip was Vietnam’s most populated city – Ho Chi Minh – or as the locals continue to call it, Saigon. After a long flight via Doha, we landed in Saigon and wearily booked a taxi to our hotel. […]
