The Museum of Innocence: The best museum in Istanbul

With all the drinking, eating and people-watching to do while travelling, sometimes — sometimes — I find the museum-going with travel to be a bit…obligatory. Some museums are life-changing for me, like the Reina Sofia in Madrid. Others are full of important and beautiful works that leave me feeling like I really *should* read moreContinue reading “The Museum of Innocence: The best museum in Istanbul”

Why Crazy Rich Asians is the best travel film of the year

Crazy Rich Asians film has turned out to be a phenomenon: a frothy, fun, formulaic romance, and an all-Asian cast that doesn’t make a big song-and-dance in the storyline about it being an all-Asian cast.

Countdown to St Lucia

No one ever steps in the same river twice, and you can say the same about any place you visit, especially with children. As they grow and change, the way the entire family holidays changes.

With news lately of parents being fined for taking children out of school during term time to go on holiday, and MPs debating high season holiday prices, it naturally follows to ask the question: Are holidays educational?

Jewelry that tells your travel story

I’ve always liked the idea of charm bracelets — a piece of jewelry that tells a story. You add to it over time, each element significant in its own way.
