Cheesy fun at Hotel Edelweiss. Literally.
If you want nouveau cuisine with silver service waiting and nothing but the sound of clinking glasses and a distant orchestra in the background, go somewhere overpriced and disappointingly sterile. The restaurant at Hotel Edelweiss is not for the snooty or boring.

Comments Off on Geneva’s Mont Salève? Done!
(Part cable car, part legwork)
Mont Salève, part of the French Prealps, towers over the beautiful city of Geneva rising as high as 1,400 metres. You can conquer the heights on foot, or like moi, you can opt for part cable car, part legwork. 😉
Then the rest of the route is yours for exploring…

Europe’s best comfort food to beat the January blues!
Let’s face it. January is sh*t. I’m hungover to hell, I’ve got the post party blues, and despite my overfed belly, I just can’t face a detox just yet. This is January. So why not embrace the sh*tness?

Comments Off on 3 Tips to Flying Cheap
Fly when you can’t afford to 😉
Fly today. Worry tomorrow. That’s my motto. Which would explain why I have never managed to save a single penny in my life. But what can I say – my three passions in life (fashion, travel and eating ridiculous amounts of cake) don’t exactly come cheap.

Medovina, Langose, and the taste of Christmas…
Prague is simply beautiful at Christmas time. The aesthetically arresting Old Town Square is famous for its architectural synthesis of Gothic and Baroque period buildings, and with the festive addition of a gigantic Christmas tree and a hustling, bustling market atmosphere, the Czech Republic capital really comes to life in the winter.

Trdelnik. Sounds like turd, tastes like heaven.
Prague Christmas Market is one of the loveliest Christmas markets in the world. They have the most mouthwatering spiced apple cider and there’s a sweet smell of cinnamon in the air. The pretty lights emulate the true meaning of a traditional Christmas and spinning Trdelnik pastries fill the market stalls.

Comments Off on Hello! Long Time No Bloggy!
It’s been a while since my last post…..
I really wish I could say that I’ve been galavanting around in foreign lands. I haven’t. I wish I could tell you that I was conducting blogging research in a five star hotel in London – or hiding away in a cosy chalet in the Lakes – neither is true.

Where to go Christmas shopping in new York
From the grandest and most extravagant toy stores in the world to the beautifully dressed windows of New York’s best department stores, the city is unmistakably one of the most elaborate locations for a commercial Christmas shopping experience. You can shop ‘til you drop with fairy lights and giant Christmas displays as your backdrop – the bigger and showier the better.
And there’s certainly nothing wrong with a loud, proud commercial Christmas when you’re in New York, New York. Because no place does it better.

♫ Cheap holidays to New York, New York! ♫
Wouldn’t we all love to spend Christmas in New York? It’s where Kevin Mccallister spent his in Home Alone 2, and let us not forget the magical Miracle on 34th Street. From the dramatic Christmas lights to the snowy sights of Central Park, the city is in its element every single year around the festive season, but holidays to New York don’t always come cheap.

Meet my favourite writers…
We writers are creative creatures; notoriously hard to please and somewhat illogical when it comes to matters of the heart. Thought to be dreamers with our crazed thoughts and frenzied feelings, we often leave others wondering whether we should be classified as ‘temperamental’ – or just ‘mental’ – but just like everybody else in the working world, we are very easily pleased when it comes to Christmas.
