This October, we headed to the beautiful cathedral city of Ely in Cambridgeshire to visit our friends. It was the perfect excuse for a change of scenery and a chance to discover what this charming little city has to offer. Exploring ElyEly might be one of England’s smallest cities, but it certainly doesn’t lack character!With […]

A couple of months ago, a handful of friends and I journeyed to the South of France for a week to a beautifully isolated country house just outside the village of Coulx. We had taken the exact same trip last year and loved it so much we had to repeat it. We were leaving behind […]

At the end of the summer, I went to Corfu with my family. We were in a nice resort right on the sea. With bottomless food, drink and a sunny beach, I can’t say that I did much other than enjoy those three things. Spending my time on the beach with either a book or […]

In August, I visited Venice for the first time and discovered that there is far more to do than I ever expected. The city itself is beautiful and the winding canal pathways are a joy to simply wander and get lost in. One morning we even laced up for a sunrise run around the island […]

Finally, after so many years trying to plan a visit to Rome, me and my wife managed to enjoy an amazing short break together in this amazing city and luckily the weather was perfect too. It is ironic that many have heard the Italian saying of the ‘Dolce far niente’, which practically means ‘the pleasure […]

For over three years now, I’ve been sitting in the sauna three or four times a week. What started as a way to unwind after training has become one of the most consistent habits in my life. There’s real substance behind why it feels so good. Regular sauna use is linked to better heart health, […]

Earlier this year we made our first family trip abroad since the birth of our son to Menorca. Having manoeuvred our way through a 2-year old’s first flight which didn’t prove to be as traumatic as it could have been, we welcomed the break of our week away. Positioned in the northern coast of Menorca, […]

I recently had the chance to visit Lucerne, Switzerland this past July, and if I had to describe the city in one word, it would be ‘picturesque’. I stayed near Lucerne’s old town, which features medieval architecture and cobblestone alleyways. Some monuments I visited included The Lion Monument, a lion sculpture carved into a cliff, […]

I had the pleasure of visiting Beijing last month; a city filled with some of the most historic and iconic sites. This year, China seems to have re-become a popular travel destination for many after covid as everyone seems to be going there. With the 20c+ sunny weather most days over there I was not […]

Living in Kent provides me plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and make the most of the countryside and the fresh air. Often referred to as the Garden of England, there are many walkable green spaces, woodland trails, and public footpaths to explore, offering some fantastic views along the way. As someone that doesn’t get […]

There are a number of things that one immediately notices when one lands in the Himalayan SAR or the Chinese Special Administrative Region of Tibet. The landscape is dramatic with towering mountains, vast plains, powerful and fast moving rivers and wide largely empty highways except for endless convoys of military trucks. The SAR designation is […]

I visited the beautiful city of Toulouse back in April. Rich in medieval history, the city is commonly known as “La Ville Rose” (The Pink City) because the historic centre is almost entirely built from locally sourced pink clay bricks. Stunning architecture can be found throughout the city, including famous landmarks such as the Capitole, […]
