Buck the Trend and Go North This Summer

Posted on April 12, 2018 by Emma Reed

Come the summer months almost everyone going on holiday will plan a trip south for sun, sea and sand. While this is a lovely way to spend a fortnight, and there is nothing wrong with reading by the pool, it isn’t the most imaginative way to spend your time.

If you are a traveller by nature, you are doing yourself down by going on the same holidays over and again. You can still go on a pool holiday every now and then, but it’s time to think more creatively and buck the trend. Continue reading “Buck the Trend and Go North This Summer” →

3 Awesome Ideas For A Girls Night Out

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Emma Reed

As a mum, it can be tricky to find any time for yourself. With teething toddlers, tantrumtastic offspring and more play dates than you can shake a stick at, the ability to find those all-important moments to unwind becomes almost non-existent. However, it’s vital that you get that respite away from your little darlings. Yes, you love them unconditionally, and they are the best things that have ever happened to you, but at the same time, you need to maintain your friendships, look after your own social life and ensure that your existence doesn’t revolve solely around Peppa Pig, nappies and breastfeeding. It’s vital that you can head out once in a while and let your hair down with your girlfriends. Take a look at these three awesome ways that you can enjoy a girls night out.

Why Hawaii is my Ultimate Holiday Dream

Posted on February 1, 2018February 1, 2018 by Emma Reed

Seeing the world has always been something I have been drawn to and even though I love the UK there is so much more I want to see and experience. I must admit I’ve never been one to consider travelling for a long period of time and I certainly wouldn’t want to hostel it around Europe, I’m just not good at ‘roughing it’! Instead, I am perfectly happy to see the world gradually, taking a different holiday each year and eventually getting to those countries that are on my ultimate dream list to visit, one of my top ones being Hawaii.

7 Ways To Travel More Like a Local

Posted on January 30, 2018 by Emma Reed

Let’s be honest… Nobody wants to be a stereotypical tourist. You know the kind I mean. The kind that wanders round bumping into small children and animals blinkered by their sprawling maps. The kind that seems to find anything from a town hall to a public toilet worthy of a photo. The kind that you end up unintentionally photobombing as you elbow past them on your way to work.

When you become a parent, there is an invisible contract that you sign your name on. You signed it the moment that your baby was placed into your arms at the hospital and there is a clause that states that all parents shall not enjoy a night away from their child. Those who try will panic about their babies and those who don’t will lust after the idea of adult time alone; it’s a curse amongst the blessing that is your new child.
