Antarctica is a difficult place to describe to potential travellers. It’s a place that needs to be felt to be understood. The wind howls, the snow falls and the wildlife plays at your feet. Yet despite being the driest, windiest and coldest place on earth, Antarctica captivates people with its wild and untamed beauty. For…

5 Reasons You Should Take A Luxury Cruise To Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a blend of old and new, with gleaming skyscrapers set against the backdrop of lush green mountains. As a destination to visit, it’s unique; not only does it offer some of the best shopping in Asia, but some incredible nature is just a twenty-minute boat trip from the harbour. The reasons why…
American Road Trip: New York City Part 2
Day 3 was a little less hectic, although we still had big plans and we still ate a ton of pizza! TravelShopGirl and I left Yotel and walked along to Times Square to pick up our tickets for the Big Bus Tour. For the first time, we had a real human being as a guide….
American Road Trip: New York City Part 1
NEW YORK CITY…where it had all started and where it would all end, but before I joined Queen Mary 2 again, I had 4 days of exploring to do! I had last visited NYC when I was 17 years old and so much had changed since then, but there were still some things which were instantly recognisable…
American Road Trip: Salem And Boston
I was very much looking forward to Salem. It wasn’t a bucket list destination of mine, but it was somewhere that I had hoped I would visit one day and as it was en-route to Boston, it seemed like the perfect excuse to go! Salem wasn’t quite what I had expected, but it was still…
American Road Trip: Bear Mountain And Lexington
We left Lancaster and drove to Bear Mountain in New York state beneath a blanket of rain and cloud. It was such a shame because some of the scenery was stunning, but we couldn’t stop for photos or we would have been soaked to the skin. I adored Bear Mountain from the second we arrived,…
American Road Trip: Philadelphia And Lancaster County
After a night of sporting excitement, it was time to bid farewell to Baltimore and head to Pennsylvania. Our first location would be the Eastern State Penitentiary and what a day and night of excitement awaited us! TravelShopGirl and I had arranged with some friends to do a paranormal investigation in the prison that evening, but…
American Road Trip: Washington D.C. And Baltimore
Washington D.C. was our next stop and it was another scorcher of a day, I can’t even begin to tell you how humid it was! Before we started exploring, we checked in to our hotel, The Carlyle in Dupont Circle, and it was beautiful. The room was huge and offered a large bathroom, small kitchenette…
American Road Trip: Atlantic City and Delaware
I disembarked Queen Mary 2 on July 24th following one of the most incredible port arrivals I have ever experienced. Sailing into NYC had long been a dream of mine and I was not disappointed. The Verrazano Bridge glimmered in the distance and before long, the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline also came into…
A Post-Cruise City Break In Amsterdam
I recently boarded Crystal Symphony for a 4-night cruise and our disembarkation port was Amsterdam. I absolutely love the Netherlands, Amsterdam in particular, so it was the perfect excuse to spend a few days in the city on a post-cruise break with my friend and fellow travel blogger, TravelShopGirl. We stayed at the Ibis Amsterdam…
