I recently shared my self-guided walking tour around Georgetown, Penang and I wanted to share another that I did in Melaka. I visited Melaka towards the end of my time in Malaysia because I was leaving from Kuala Lumpur airport and Melaka is just an hour or so from KLIA. As I had already explored … Continue reading A Self-Guided Walking Tour Around Melaka
I love a good DIY walking tour. Ever since I put together this chocolate walking tour of Bruges for our Easter trip in 2018, I've realised it's such a great way to see a city and stretch the legs. With a self-guided walking tour you can take as long as you want, chop and change … Continue reading A Walk Around Georgetown, Penang
How do you describe Bangkok? Like a city on steroids? Like cities in futuristic (distopian..?) sci-fi movies with traffic on multiple planes, lights flickering as the heat rises up from the queuing cars and weaving motorbikes? A clear divide between those who have and those who don’t, epitomised in the Michelin starred chic vs $2 … Continue reading Bangkok: Exploring the Old City

The shop front is tiny - blink and you could walk right past it - but the queue out of the door and people taking their Instagram snaps give it away. We indulged and bought a double chocolate chip, an … Continue reading Central Park, a Rangers Game, and the Best Cookies
Today we gave the Lonely Planet architecture walking tour another go that we had to abandon when my phone died. We started at St Patrick’s cathedral, a stunning church on the corner of 51st St and 5th Ave and right by the Rockerfeller Center. It’s worth taking a look inside at it’s huge stained glass … Continue reading New York’s Great Architecture and Top of the Rock day to night
It was bagels again for breakfast, this time from Davidovich Bakery at Chelsea Market. It was a great place to start the day before it started getting busy. There are loads of outlets serving a wide variety of different foods, and this month they’ve gone all out on creepy-as-f**k Halloween displays. Don’t let it put … Continue reading Chelsea Market, the High Line, and a walk around West Village
