I have been back to New York a couple of times recently and am starting to fall in love with the city. I stayed with a friend who lives in NoLita, the perfect downtown location – full of restaurants and beautiful boutiques and walking distance to SoHo and the East & West Villages. For the [...]

Passing through Prague
Posted in Czech Republic, Destinations, tagged restaurants in prague on May 10, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
A short while ago I passed through Prague, one of my favourite European cities and have two great restaurant recommendations. They are both Czech but have french influence, perhaps all these year’s living in France has really influenced my food choices! Firstly, Apostila in the old town which has a bistro feel and serves a [...]

Posted in Destinations, France - Paris and more, tagged cooking in france, dijon on February 17, 2012 | 1 Comment »
One of the great things I love about living in Paris is that it gives me the opportunity to discover France. It’s just so easy to hop on a train for a weekend escape. A friend and I decided for a productive weekend away learning some new food tricks in Dijon which is just 1h40mins [...]

Frankly I wouldn’t have gone to Kiev in January unless I was asked to go but there are a couple of things I highly recommend in this surprisingly pretty city.
My Texan Adventure: Austin
Posted in Destinations on December 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I knew nothing about Austin other than that the food was meant to be good, there is a good music scene, and that I was meeting some friends there for the weekend. If you go, here’s a more things that may help you adore the city as much as I did… The city is pretty [...]
My Texan adventure: Dallas
Posted in Destinations, USA, tagged Dallas, restaurants, texas on December 9, 2011 | 1 Comment »
When I told my friend in Dallas that I was going to come and visit he wondered what a British girl would do in Texas. A few others thought I was mad but I have just had the time of my life with simply amazing new experiences every day. One thing that I imagine every [...]
My Texan adventure: Dixie Dude Ranch

Warning: I had so much fun here that this post may get a little over excited. After a crazy few months both work and personally I wanted to get away and do something different for a few days, somewhere that I could be outside most of the time and ideally doing something physical. I had [...]
Short trip to Vienna
Posted in Balkans, CE Europe, Destinations, tagged Vienna on October 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I have just come back from the beautiful Vienna. It was for a conference so I didn’t get too much time to explore and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t get up earlier and jog around the ‘Ring’ which is just a few kilometers and goes around the city. By walking around you get to [...]
Pleasantly surprised by Moscow
Posted in Balkans, CE Europe, Destinations, tagged moscow, russia on October 6, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Before I came to Moscow I found out that everyone who has been here has an opinion. And those opinions vary massively. I am not sure whether I have just had a five star experience, or whether everyone else was exaggerating. Yes, traffic is hideous and there is a reason that many taxis charge by [...]
Perpignan – a funny little French/Spanish town
Posted in Destinations, France - Paris and more, tagged France, Perpignan on September 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Perpignan is a funny town with the Spanish French mix pretty obvious in architecture, culture and language. Both Catalan and French both prominent languages. It has a few dodgy areas so be careful where you go at night (someone I met had been robbed at knifepoint and my friend and I walked passed someone shooting [...]
